Finnish sauna

Sauna is a bath in hot and dry air (temperature 60°- 90°C, but low moisture 10-30%). Air temperature in sauna is typically divided into bands according to the height of individual benches (lowest next to the floor, approximately 40°C, highest next to the ceiling, up to 110°C). In the height 150 cm and 100 cm from the heat sources it should reach 80°C, with the relative moisture not more than 15%. In such environment the sweat evaporates well, resulting in an effective cooling of the organism.
A constituent part of the course of sauna is the subsequent chilling with cold water (washing, showering, immersion bath, swimming). This cycle is repeated 2 – 3 times and ends with relaxation or walking. In addition to that the skin in sauna is exposed to mechanical irritation (flogging with a leafy birch branches), which results in a histamine reaction, and dilatation of capillaries. Sauna treatment includes also the so-called shock-steam waves (sudden increase of air moisture, e.g. by pouring water over the hot stones), which changes the evaporation of sweat and the further increases the temperature of the organism core. Sauna supports the body conditioning, and it is a suitable prevention against cold-caused diseases, positively affecting the functional circulatory malfunctions, light rheumatic diseases, and some allergic diseases.
Recommended periods: 20 min stay in sauna, 5 min cooling + flogging, 15 min stay in sauna (+ steam shock), 5 min cooling + flogging, 10 min stay in sauna (+steam shock), 5 min cooling + flogging (60 minutes), final rest after sauna 60 minutes.
