9. USING YOUR SAUNA
The origins of the sauna are lost in the mists of time.
It began as one of the purication rituals common to many ancient religions. Its therapeutic and aesthetic bene-
ts were known to the Ancient Greeks, but it was primarily the Baltic people, particularly the Finns, who develo-
ped it as a supreme source of wellbeing that has spread all over the world.
The sauna is quite simply a bath of very warm, dry air taken in a closed environment in which a special appliance
heats and dehumidies the air.
THE BENEFITS
The sauna has extraordinary relaxing and detoxing properties, with positive inuences on both body and mind.
There is no more eective way of banishing nervous tension and soothing anxiety because the sauna stimulates
the natural process of restoring physical and mental balance.
The skin is puried as sweating eliminates acids and toxins. The autonomic nervous system is stimulated, impro-
ving overall metabolism.
On the beauty front, if you team the sauna with a healthy diet you will get even better cellulite reduction and skin
toning results.
The beauty dividend is made equally obvious by the deep-cleansing action that leaves your skin looking clear
and glowing.
THE PROCESS
Get ready for your sauna with a warm shower and dry yourself thoroughly.
Step into the sauna.
Make yourself comfortable. Remember that the temperature is higher on the upper benches.
Relax, let your mind go blank and just listen to your body.
Your own body will tell you how long to stay in the sauna, normally anything from 5 to 15 minutes.
Remember that if you pour a ladle of water laced with essential oils onto the heater stones you will get a tempo-
rary increase in humidity and the perception of heat will increase noticeably for a few seconds.
When you come out of the sauna, freshen up with a cool or cold shower, then stretch out and relax for a few mi-
nutes.
We suggest you replace the liquids you have lost with water or a hot herbal tea.
After a few minutes take a second turn in the sauna.
