In our Finnish sauna we chose regional arolla pine. Arolla pine is very durable, has a high resin content and many essential oils. The agreeable fragrance not only calms sauna-goers but also unfolds an anti-bacterial effect for complete well-being. In a Finnish sauna the temperature is between 85 and 110 degrees with very low humidity. These high temperatures strengthen the immune system similar to a fever. The alternation between heat and cold also boosts the circulation. The change from hot to cold also improves circulation of the airways.

Steam baths were already used by the ancient Romans. In contrast to saunas where the air is dry, there is a high level of humidity of up to 100 % in a steam bath with temperatures of around 50 degrees. Through the increased temperature, the body activates various mechanisms to cool down: the blood vessels widen, the body sweats and lung activity increases. The immune system is stimulated, the mucous membrane moistened and the muscles relax – and a calming effect spreads throughout the body.

In a tepidarium pleasant music, a warm light and the agreeable radiant heat of the lounger combined lead to an almost meditative state. The warmth helps counteract any muscle tension and eases rheumatism, sciatica and back problems. The slow warming up of the body also makes it easier for the circulation to transition to the steam bath and Finnish sauna.

The deep warmth of the new infrared relaxing chairs leads to a gentle sweat which, in contrast to a sauna, has an inner to outer effect. A feeling of inner calm spreads. This form of relaxation particularly helps with reducing stress and can also help with problems such as sleeplessness, tiredness and exhaustion and a sense of imbalance.
