■ Have a shower, as hot as you like; this is an important stage in order to remove fat
residues and any cosmetic products from the skin. Dry yourself well: skin must be
completely dry.
You can extend the above stage by immersing your feet in hot water for some time
(approximately 5 minutes in water with a temperature of 40 °C).

nitially, a sauna session may last approximately 8-12 minutes; this can be extended (15
minutes). In every instance, listen to your body and your intuition: the sauna session is not a
competition to see who can last the longest (the specified sauna "time" only acts as a guide, if
you feel the need to leave after only five minutes, then do).
■ If seated, always place a towel under where you are seated, on your back and under
your feet.
You will not require head covering, as the heat of the sauna will not damage your hair
in any way.
Naked (seeing as every clothing type, particularly synthetic clothing, hinders
perspiration) sit or lie on the preferred bench, bearing in mind that the further
from the ground you are, the higher the temperature, subsequently the greater the
sweating; initially, it is best to use the lower bench in order to gradually get used to
the temperature.
ATTENTION! Do not hang towels on the wooden heater cover: they may
catch fire!
■ If possible, a couple of minutes before leaving the sauna, gently pour water onto the
stones in order to swiftly increase the heat and air humidity, subsequently increasing
perspiration; if desired, pour your preferred essence into the water first.
ATTENTION! Do not pour the essences or oils directly onto the stones: they
may catch fire!
If you are having a bio sauna or Roman sauna, do not pour the essences or oils
directly into the steamer water; use the semi-sphere container on top of the
steamer lid.
With time and practice, you will learn how to maintain the correct relative humidity,
by pouring the correct quantity of water onto the stones in order to ensure suitable air
exchange.
This profusion of heat is not to everybody's liking: at first, try experimenting with a
small amount of water, and progressively adapt your method.
■ In any case, a couple of minutes before leaving the sauna, occupy a seated position (on
the lowest bench) so that your body can adjust to a vertical position.
■ Once you have finished your sauna, your body needs oxygen: breathe lightly, preferably
through your nose and walk around in a relaxed, easy manner (do not remain completely
still as the blood in the dilated vessels "drops" to below average levels).
Do not await until you feel the first cold shivers before having a refreshing shower!
■ Cold water is the best thing to restore normal body temperature and to remove all
perspiration residue from the skin:
- using the shower and following blood flow direction, begin with your outer right foot
going right up to the groin, before changing direction to go back down the inner side;
