Our Saunas

Spending time in a sauna should serve primarily to harden protection against against coughs and colds and can also be used as a therapeutic application for some illnesses, for example disorders of the autonomic nervous system.
Increasing the body temperature to up to 39°C during the sweating phase (artificial fever) has the same effect in the body that a real fever produces, in particular the destruction of disease agents through increased temperature.

The process of the heat and subsequent cold bath relaxes the musculature, and alongside the physical effects such as reduction of blood pressure, stimulation of circulation, metabolism, the immune system and respiration, also has a soothing effect on the subjective well-being.

Saunas also help in skin care and slow down the rate of skin ageing; Immediately after entering a sauna room the skin reacts, the blood vessels widen, the blood flow accelerates and the surface temperature increases to 40-42°C after around 15 minutes; in the cooling off phase the blood vessels narrow again through the application of cold water (blood vessel training).

Furthermore the sweating as well as the repeated water application bring about a thorough yet gentle purification. For very dry skin the structure of the skin layer is improved by the activation of the sweat glands and water storage.
