      On average, the human body consists of 67% water. It is therefore not surprising that water also plays a decisive role in terms of health.

      Ground

      The beneficial warmth of moor, fango and mud was discovered early on. Mud baths were documented as a natural remedy as early as the 14th century.

      Air

      The climate has long had a major influence on well-being. Those seeking relaxation are most likely to find it in an environment with a balanced temperature and constant humidity.

SWEATING IS HEALTHY

What is important about saunas

Are you planning to visit a sauna and aren't very familiar with it yet, or maybe you want to try it for the first time? We have a few tips for you:

What do I need for a sauna visit?

  • 1 large sauna towel
  • 1–2 towels
  • Shampoing/gel douche
  • Possibly bathing shoes
  • Possibly bathrobe
  • Enough time (we would recommend that you allow at least two hours)

Is there anything else to consider?

  • Most saunas are textile-free areas, meaning that swimwear is not allowed. However, some saunas offer special days when you can wear swimwear.
  • To avoid infections such as athlete's foot, it is advisable to wear bathing shoes in the sauna area.
  • Drink enough before going to the sauna.
  • Shower before using the sauna to prepare your skin for sweating.
  • Dry yourself thoroughly after showering, as dry skin can evaporate and sweat more easily.
  • A warm foot bath beforehand expands the blood vessels and contributes to improved sweating.
  • Be sure to observe the stay times and plan rest periods.

Health benefits of the sauna

Regular sauna visits can have a positive effect on your well-being and personal resilience. A sauna visit can activate the immune system, stimulate the cardiovascular system, and promote blood circulation to the organs.

Frequency is key: 1 to 2 sauna visits per week are usually sufficient to strengthen the immune system and bring the body into balance. It is important to always observe the general sauna rules, which are posted in every sauna facility.
