Jacuzzi sasha series Bedienung Und Wartung Seite 46

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 spherical 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;
- follow this process with the left foot and leg.
- Continue with the right arm, the left arm, bowels, stomach, before proceeding to the
face and head;
- lastly, concentrate on the back and spine.
Freezing water has the best "toughening" effect on the body, however warm water
can also be used.
Immersing yourself in a bath of cold water also helps heighten the effects of the sauna:
once immersed (maximum, 10-20 seconds), try to breathe lightly, without restraining
your breathing.
If you suffer with high blood pressure, only use sponge baths or showers.
At this stage, you may have a foot bath using hot water in order to speed up body
acclimatisation; subsequently, you may also continue applying cold water in order to
enhance the effects of temperature variations on the vascular system and then proceed
to have another hot foot bath (these temperature extremities must not cool you down
excessively).
