It is a matter of course to take an extensive shower before taking a sauna bath. Because nobody wants to inhale the unpleasant body odor of the person sitting next to him. After showering, dry yourself off well, because dry skin sweats faster

An important reason why sauna-goers visit this wellness oasis is to enjoy the absolute silence that prevails at this place. For this reason, loud conversations among the guests are not only undesirable, but also rude and out of place. Because no sauna guest is interested in what they had for lunch today or what marriage problems they have.

Since the sauna bath is usually entered naked, the sauna towel should be large enough (two meters is sufficient) to completely cover the intimate area. In addition, attention must also be paid to the material. Ideally, the sauna towel should be made of absorbent materials and offer first-class comfort. Therefore it should be avoided to use a very cheap model. This is because as a rule it is not able to reliably absorb sweat and thus cannot fulfil its purpose. Experienced sauna users always have at least two towels in their pockets. One of them is used as an underlay when taking a sauna and the other one is used to dry off afterwards.

Through the hot sauna air we breathe in, we stimulate the blood circulation in the nasopharynx. The sauna is good for the lungs and their volume.

A sunburn is first of all a burn, 1st or 2nd degree. That means it is always accompanied by skin damage. It is not only the redness that causes pain. The upper skin layer itself is badly damaged and thinner. And this is where one of the effects that we usually love about saunas gets in the way. As is well known, sweat washes away dead skin cells - and thus also makes the protective layer of the body a little thinner. In addition, bacteria can penetrate wetting or open wounds. We from Saunazeit, therefore strongly advise against going to the sauna with a sunburn

Alcohol and sauna do not belong together. Because alcohol in the sauna can be life threatening. The heat in the sauna dilates your blood vessels. This is not bad in itself, it is even a desired effect. This way more blood flows through your body. This in turn causes your heart rate to drop. The problem is that alcohol basically causes the same thing. It also dilates your blood vessels. They are then so permeable that the blood only flows leisurely through your body. In plain language this means that your blood pressure drops.

If such an incident occurs in the sauna, some tips can help to remedy the situation. First of all, keep your eyes on the ceiling or the floor and not on the other participants who might be responsible for the excitement. This makes it easier to think of something else and get the erotic thoughts out of your head. Then the situation should loosen up quickly. It can also help to solve a difficult arithmetical problem in thoughts.

In general, we can give the all-clear on this question. The heat cannot cause contractions in the first two trimesters of pregnancy. But in the last three months caution is advised. Here the heat can cause contractions, but it is not the biggest problem.
