SAUNA PROTOCOL 

To enhance your guest's sauna experience, we encourage you to share the following protocol.

STEPS

DESCRIPTION

Image

Allocate Sufficient Time

A full sauna ritual, lasting around two hours, should not be rushed to maximize relaxation and wellness. It involves warming, cooling, and resting phases, all essential for optimal benefits.

Image

Disrobe and Hydrate

Remove all clothing and jewellery before entering the sauna. Wrap yourself in a natural-material towel, and drink water before, during, and after the session to hydrate well.

Image

Pre-Sauna Hygiene

Shower and cleanse the body thoroughly to open pores, allowing for more effective sweating and enhanced sauna benefits.

Image

Dry Off

Dry your body completely before entering the sauna to speed up sweating and prevent skin issues due to heat.

Image

Gradual Warming

In case of cold feet, warming up your feet will speed up circulation and enhance sauna effects. Use massage or a hot bath if available.

Image

Increase Heat Gradually

Warm up on the lower benches before moving to higher ones for stronger heat exposure. Always prioritize safety, particularly if new to saunas.

Image

Water Over Stones

Pouring water over the stones increases humidity and the sensation of heat. This should be done cautiously, and preferably by experienced sauna users to avoid skin damage.

Image

Intense Heat Exposure

Spend 3-5 minutes in the intense part of the sauna session after increasing humidity, experiencing the heat’s full effects.

Image

Cool Down

Cool down with a cold shower or other cooling method to stabilize body temperature and prevent excess fluid loss.

Image

Cold Tub (Optional)

For Experienced Users, the cold plunge provides a powerful, refreshing boost—an instant wave of energy and revitalisation.

Less adept users should enjoy this experience under the guidance of a skilled user or spa professional. The supervision ensures a safe and comfortable introduction to the benefits of cold therapy.

Image

Rest and Rehydrate

Take time to rest and rehydrate between sessions. This rest period is critical and should last as long as the heating phase (not longer) to ensure full recovery. Drinking water or herbal tea is recommended.

Repeat steps 6 to 11 up to four times to achieve the full therapeutic effects of sauna bathing.
