Embrace the warm
Tremendous health benefits can be achieved with regular sauna use. The sauna heat combined with your preferred ambiance (soothing colored lighting and music of your choice) creates a powerfully relaxing, rejuvenating, healing and therapeutic space. Physically, nothing is more reinvigorating than a deep, healthy sweat every day. Tension fades. Muscles unwind. And you emerge relaxed, revived, and ready for whatever the day or evening may bring. Sauna relaxes muscles and soothes aches in both muscles and joints. Under the high heat of a sauna, the body releases endorphins, body temperature rises, and blood vessels dilate allowing for increased blood circulation, which promotes healing in the body’s tissues. After physical activity, the heat and steam of a sauna promotes muscle relaxation by reducing muscle tension and eliminating lactic acid and other toxins that may have built up during your workout. Other benefits of sauna use include calorie burn, purification through toxin release, better sleep, clearer skin, increased energy levels, and reduced stress. PLEASE NOTE: Anyone with health problems or under medical supervision, such as people with heart conditions, diabetes, high or
low blood pressure, and pregnant women must not use the sauna or cold plunge without first consulting their doctor.

Do I need to shower after my Sauna/Cold Plunge session?
Do I need to shower after my Sauna/Cold Plunge session?
Yes, we recommend showering after a sauna session to completely remove any and all residues, toxins or salts left behind on your skin. A quick rinse will close your pores once again and is the perfect way to end your Sauna/Cold Plunge experience. It is recommended that you moisturize your skin with a high-quality moisturizing lotion post-shower. It’s also ideal to shampoo your hair afterward.Don’t forget to drink an adequate amount of water, mineral water, fruit or vegetable juice to replace the fluids and electrolytes that were sweated out in the sauna. Staying well hydrated is absolutely essential for your optimal health and well-being!
