Showers with sauna and steam room features are the latest trend to hit the market. Visit the website of any bathrooms manufacturer and you are likely to find one of these exciting models, from high-tech ceramic and glass shower/steam rooms, to traditional wooden shower/sauna designs. But there's no point investing in one of these luxurious additions to your bathroom if you don't know how to use it properly. Follow this guide to using your sauna/shower all-in-one, and reap maximum health benefits in a safe way.
Showers with Saunas: Safety Preparations
To ensure your safety and comfort whilst using your sauna shower, don't eat any food at least one hour before going in. Digestion places a massive demand on your body so you will be completely overloading it if you then add a sweaty detox process on top. Even more importantly, don't enter your sauna shower after drinking alcohol. Being drunk will not only detract from the enjoyable experience, but can also place your body under stress whilst it tries to detox. It can also create a dangerous level of dehydration that could cause illness. If you are over 60 or are recovering from illness, always check with your doctor that it is safe for you to use a sauna or steam room.
Showers with Saunas: Suitable for Children?
If you wish to enjoy your new sauna shower with your family, you will need to take a few precautions. On the whole, children manage well in saunas, but since their sweat glands aren't yet fully developed, they prefer lower temperatures. You can help them feel comfortable by either lowering the temperature, seating them on the lowest bench possible, or simply allowing them a shorter time in the sauna whilst the adults continue to sweat it out.
Showers with Saunas: Elderly Users
It is not unusual in Finland – where there is a ratio of one sauna for every five people – to see elderly people over eighty enjoying the benefits of a sauna. In fact, almost ninety per cent of people over the age of eighty still take regular saunas in Finland. If you fall into this age group and aren't used to using a sauna shower, you do need to take some precautions to ensure you don't overdo it. Start by using the sauna gradually, building up both the temperature and the time you spend in it. Resist the urge to sit in there for hours trying to sweat out all your years of bad habits!
Showers with Saunas: Enhance your Experience
There is no doubt that a sauna shower is a luxury item for bathroom lovers. To really enhance your experience, add a few drops essential oils to the coals for different health benefits. Eucalyptus is very cleansing and excellent for colds and headaches. Lavender is wonderful for stress and tension, or try rosemary for mental clarity and energy. You will leave your fabulous new sauna shower feeling refreshed and revived.
