HOW TO MAKE YOUR SAUNA EXPERIENCE IN SOUTH TYROL PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE
Sauna bathing is much more than just sweating – it is an ancient ritual that benefits body, mind, and skin. But how do you sauna properly to fully enjoy its effects? By following the right steps – from preparation to the resting phase – each session becomes a complete wellness experience, promoting health, relaxation, and skin care.
Preparation Before the Sauna
A thorough shower cleanses the skin and opens the pores. It is important to dry off well, as dry skin promotes sweating. A towel or light clothing is ideal for entering the sauna.
Warm-Up Phase
A short 8–12 minute session on the middle bench gently prepares the body. Deep, mindful breathing supports circulation and promotes relaxation.
Gradual Cooling
Cooling down is crucial after a sauna. Start with fresh air, followed by cold water via shower or Kneipp path. For those who enjoy it, a few laps in the natural pond enhance circulation and refresh the body.
Aromatic Infusions for the Senses
Infusions with natural essential oils intensify the sauna’s effects, cleansing and revitalizing body and mind. Oils can have relaxing, stimulating, or purifying effects, depending on your needs.
Rest and Regeneration
After each sauna session, allow 15–20 minutes for rest. Water and herbal teas replace lost fluids. Two to three sauna sessions with adequate breaks maximize the benefits.
