Answer to all questions: Shower before the first session-time the stay in the steam bath in accordance with your personal sensitivity, but do not exceed 15-20 minutes. Cool off with cool fresh air and cool water without shocking the system and avoid shivering. Take a warm foot bath if you have cold feet. Do not take more than 2-3 sessions in the steam bath.

In the case of combined facilities like sauna and steam bath, which provide for different types of bath, you may also switch from one type to another. What is essential though, is that you cool off thoroughly after each session.

Never start a fresh session if your body is warm (or worse still, hot) and never

change from one type of bath to another until you have cooled down properly. To do so could overtax your circulation. Unless the body has cooled down properly after a steam bath, even a swim in a heated pool could be physically harmful as it can be after a sauna.

Enjoyed correctly, a steam bath will help to overcome the stresses of everyday life, to relax and recover and to gain new strength and improve general physical and mental well being. And what’s more, a steam bath can also be fun. Steam ahead.
