A sauna is more than just warmth. Since ancient times, it has been a place for the body and soul to cleanse, recover, and strengthen. During autumn and winter, when the body tends to "accumulate," the sauna becomes a natural way to cleanse, boost immunity, and calm the nervous system.
Benefits of a sauna
-
Deep sweating helps eliminate toxins, improves lymph flow and blood circulation.
-
Warm air cleanses the respiratory tract, especially with essential oils or plants (pine, mint).
-
Sauna reduces stress, improves sleep quality, and emotional balance.
-
Studies show that regular visits (2-3 times/week) reduce the risk of dementia by up to 65%.
- Warmth opens pores, improves microcirculation, and the skin becomes clearer and cleaner.
Before the sauna
Dry massage. Gentle exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, stimulates blood circulation, and prepares the skin for sweating. One way is a dry body massage with an ALAUSHU® copper body brush.
Internal hydration. Drink a glass of water or herbal tea – this will help the body cleanse toxins more easily and prevent dehydration.
Calm down. The sauna is not only a body ritual but also a mind ritual. Take a minute to breathe to switch from "doing" to "being" mode.
Sauna ritual
Enter the sauna gradually; it is recommended to do 2-3 cycles of 8-15 minutes with breaks to cool down. After the session, rest, drink water, and repeat several cycles. Between sessions, you can wash with cold or cool water. Practice deep breathing, and listen to your body.
After the sauna
After the last sauna session, allow your body to cool down gradually. You can rinse with lukewarm or cool water – this helps restore normal blood pressure and tones the skin (especially recommended for varicose veins).
After the sauna, it's important to replenish fluids and minerals – more are lost through sweating than daily. Drink a glass of water with electrolytes, which help restore the balance of sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
After the sauna, the skin is clean and slightly warm – a perfect time for skincare. You can use ALAUSHU® natural turmeric soap. Then choose ALAUSHU® spray magnesium, which provides a refreshing and slightly relaxing sensation to the skin, and then gently massage in a natural body oil or cream. This simple routine helps maintain skin moisture and completes the sauna ritual with a pleasant feeling of comfort.
