WHAT TO EXPECT
Take a moment to fully immerse yourself in the present.
​
This experience might initially catch you off guard if it's unfamiliar. Close your eyes and surrender completely to it. It presents an opportunity to delve into a meditative state, engage in introspection, and explore the recesses of your mind.
​
In no time, you'll experience an intense warmth, accompanied by a profuse sweat that's unlike any other. This is entirely within the norm; it's the body's anticipated response. Your body is absorbing the heat, expanding your skin's pores, and expelling toxins. It marks the inception of the thermal cycle, meticulously crafted to enhance overall well-being and induce a profound sense of relaxation.
​
Always remember to maintain proper hydration before and after your session. While you have the liberty to exit the sauna at any point, strive to remain inside for a minimum of eight to ten minutes to fully harness the desired benefits.
​
Detoxification and Boosting the Immune System
Within the confines of the sauna, your body's internal temperature rises by approximately 1°C, and your skin temperature elevates by around 10°C, inducing a state of mild hyperthermia. This process actively promotes the elimination of toxins, offering a comprehensive cleanse that transcends the boundaries of mere skin and muscle, encompassing your metabolic and organ systems. The perspiration generated acts as a potent detoxifying agent for your entire body.
​
Under these gentle "fever" conditions, your body responds by fortifying its immune system. Integrating the thermal cycle into your wellness regimen can provide an added layer of protection. Regular adherents to heat therapy have reported heightened resilience against microbes and seasonal ailments.
