If you're stressed and need to let off steam, there's nothing like a sauna session in a wellness center!
A sauna is a wooden cabin containing stones heated by a wood-burning or electric stove. For 2,000 years, the sauna has been an ancestral tradition in Nordic societies. The Finns improved the concept and democratized it throughout the world.
Often confused with the hammam, the sauna diffuses dry heat, between 70 and 110 degrees. The hammam, on the other hand, was invented in the Ottoman Empire. It produces hot, humid steam not exceeding 90 degrees.
Traditionally, bathing suits are not allowed in saunas for reasons of hygiene, but in countries such as France, which are not accustomed to nudity, they are compulsory.
To ensure optimum cleanliness, we recommend that you shower before entering the sauna!
Saunas take place in a minimum of 2 sessions (5 to 10 minutes and 10 to 15 minutes), interspersed with cold showers. It can also begin with a steam bath. It then concludes with a time of rest and rehydration!
When you take a sauna, your heart rate increases and you sweat considerably. This is thought to reduce cardiovascular accidents and joint pain.
Sauna also has anti-stress properties and improves sleep quality. You'll emerge from the cabin lighter and more relaxed, with a healthy feeling of fatigue, as if you'd cleansed your mind.
High heat is also good for the skin. It can help relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis or hives.
If you need any further recommendations, don't hesitate to consult the wellness establishment you're visiting!
