Page 3 of 3 What are the rules of a healthy sauna visit?
1) Respect the other sauna visitors: take a warm shower before you enter the sauna, even if you have taken already a shower earlier in the day.
 2) Wearing slippers is required as it reduces the risk of transmitting fungal infections. These are mostly seen between the toes because people often tend to forget to dry their toes.
3) Although you are wet by transpiration after a couple of minutes in the sauna, it is nevertheless important to dry yourself after taking a shower.
4) The sauna cabin is always made of wood, on the one hand for comfort and a good climate control, and on the other hand because it delivers a delicious fragrance. To protect the wood it is necessary to use a bath towel to sit on. Sauna is meant to be taken without the confinements of clothes. A bathing suit or towel will absorb your sweat and will stick to your skin and the cleaning of the pores will be obstructed, which is obviously not the intention. Many people therefore prefer to be naked in the sauna. On the lower seats it is less warm than on the upper seats. You should try whichever you find most pleasant. If you prefer to sit, you have to keep your complete body on the same level, therefore you have to keep your feet on the same level as your seat. Depending on how your body reacts your first sauna session may last between 8 and 12 minutes. Of course you can stay longer. Before you leave the sauna, it is recommended that you sit for a few moments with your feet on the floor before standing.
5) The idea of taking a cold shower does perhaps make you shudder but it turns out a lot better than expected when you come from the warm sauna. A special cold waterfall shower is provided to enjoy the sauna experience to the fullest. The towel which you use to dry yourself is preferably the same such as the towel which you sit/lie on in the sauna cabin.
6) Your heart needs to rest after the healthy effort. A break of at least 15 minutes can be enjoyed now in the resting area nearthe swimming pool.
7) You decide yourself whether you want to go for a second or third time in the sauna cabin, but if you choose to do so, do it properly: start the process at the beginning. Only the warm shower (step 1) is no longer needed: you are already cleaner than clean.
