When planning to take a Sauna, allow yourself plenty of time to relax. Turn on your Finlandia
Sauna heater at least one half-hour before you enter the room (unless you have the Ever Ready heater which has instant heat).
This will give enough time to heat the room to the proper Sauna bathing temperature (Average temperatures range from 175°
F to 195° F). Take your Sauna in the nude. Shed your worries as you shed your clothes and let the relaxing Sauna aura
surround you. Allow your body time to adjust to the high heat. Sit or lie on a towel on the top bench for the best heat. You
may sit on the lower bench for cooler temperatures. As desired, pour 1 to 2 ladles full of water over the hot Sauna stones
to produce steam, which will aid in perspiration. After 10-20 minutes, or when you feel ready, exit the Sauna and cool down
by taking a shower or plunging into a refreshing pool or lake. Rest for a while in the cooling room or area. Ideally, it is
nice to have a dressing room and shower next to or near your Sauna. You should spend about as much time cooling down as you
have spent in the Sauna. Re-enter the Sauna and repeat the process as desired. Finish with a final shower. Then, relax with
your favorite beverage and enjoy that wonderful after-Sauna feeling.

SAUNA is the only bath in the world in which both dry and damp
air is present at the same time. It is the body's natural way to cleanse itself through perspiration. The high heat (average
of 180° F) and the low humidity (about 25%) create an environment which promotes over-all perspiration and the deep cleansing
of pores. The body's impurities are flushed away (even nicotine from a smoker's body). This total perspiration helps
maintain clear, healthy skin and provides a rosy afterglow. Saunas are first and foremost a place of relaxation. The soft
heat and humidity soothes and relaxes tired muscles, relieves stress, and promotes a wonderful after Sauna feeling of satisfaction
and well being. The body's natural painkillers, beta-endorphins and norepinephrines, are released to provide a feeling
much like the runner's high. During a Sauna, the rate of blood circulation increases, the rate of breathing increases,
and the pulse rate quickens. Saunas are like mild exercise, or a cardiovascular workout for your heart. Calories are also
burned in a Sauna session.
