TEPIDARIUM
A tepidarium is a room for total well-being.
The temperatures in the tepidarium are around 38°C and the heat is evenly emitted onto the body. In the second room the temperature is 48°C.
The body will be warmed up in a very gentle way without inducing sweating - you will feel totally at ease.
STEAM BATH
In our steam bath you will be sweating at 39° - 41°C, approx. 8 to 16 g of sweat per minute. There is an air humidity of 100%.
The duration of stay should be between 15 and 20 minutes. A fragrant scent of eucalyptus has a refreshing and stimulating effect. You can cool off under a shower of lukewarm water. After a steam bath session we recommend 30 minutes rest. - This procedure should be repeated three times.
The steam bath stimulates the circulation, purifies and revitalises the skin and helps protect against diseases.
HERBAL SAUNA
The temperature in the herbal sauna is between 40° and 55°C at ceiling height. There is a relative air humidity of 45 to 55%.
Duration of stay: 45 to 60 minutes. There is no water pouring in the herbal sauna. The best way to cool off is a cool shower up to 34°C.
After the sauna we recommend an approx. 30 minutes rest. You will lose approx. 8 to 16 g of sweat per minute.
The mild climate of the herbal sauna prevents an overheating of the organism and provides optimal relaxation and detoxification of the body.
FINNISH SAUNA
"The real sauna enjoyment still includes wooden benches, hot stones and afterwards cooling off outdoors in cold water or in the snow!"
90° to 100°C are ideal for boosting the heart and the circulation. And if your skin does not sting when blown on, it's a sign that also the humidity is ideal; heart and circulation will be stimulated and tired muscles will wake up.
Because of the external purge, ideally you feel purified internally too. So stress and hectic have no chance and vanish into the air.
INFRARED CABIN
You can decide for yourself what temperature is most comfortable for you. Already from a temperature of 40°C you can sweat sufficiently.
Thanks to the intensive deep action of the infrared heat, you are sweating from inside. In the infrared cabin the sweat will not be pulled out of the body, but it will be pressed outside through the body.
This effect occurs because the heat can penetrate beneath the skin without heating the air.
