How
to enjoy a Sauna
When
planning to take a Sauna, allow yourself plenty of time to relax.
Turn on your Finlandia Sauna heater at least one half-hour before
you enter the room (unless you have the Ever Ready heater which
has instant heat). This will give enough time to heat the room to
the proper Sauna bathing temperature (Average temperatures range
from 175° F to 195° F). Take your Sauna in the nude. Shed your worries
as you shed your clothes and let the relaxing Sauna aura surround
you. Allow your body time to adjust to the high heat. Sit or lie
on a towel on the top bench for the best heat. You may sit on the
lower bench for cooler temperatures. As desired, pour 1 to 2 ladles
full of water over the hot Sauna stones to produce steam, which
will aid in perspiration. After 10-20 minutes, or when you feel
ready, exit the Sauna and cool down by taking a shower or plunging
into a refreshing pool or lake. Rest for a while in the cooling
room or area. Ideally, it is nice to have a dressing room and shower
next to or near your Sauna. You should spend about as much time
cooling down as you have spent in the Sauna. Re-enter the Sauna
and repeat the process as desired. Finish with a final shower. Then,
relax with your favorite beverage and enjoy that wonderful after-Sauna
feeling.
