SAUNA PROTOCOL
To enhance your guest's sauna experience, we encourage you to share the following protocol.
STEPS
DESCRIPTION
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.
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.
Pre-Sauna Hygiene
Shower and cleanse the body thoroughly to open pores, allowing for more effective sweating and enhanced sauna benefits.
Dry Off
Dry your body completely before entering the sauna to speed up sweating and prevent skin issues due to heat.
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.
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.
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.
Intense Heat Exposure
Spend 3-5 minutes in the intense part of the sauna session after increasing humidity, experiencing the heat’s full effects.
Cool Down
Cool down with a cold shower or other cooling method to stabilize body temperature and prevent excess fluid loss.
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.
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...
Repeat steps 6 to 11 up to four times to achieve the full therapeutic effects of sauna bathing.
