WHAT IS A SAUNA BATH? In a word it’s heat. Not heat by steam or ■water but DRY HEAT at a temperature ®f 18O*-19O°F. At first, you may consider this heat intolerable, human body temperature being only 98.4’F. and the hottest desert temperature about 120°F. , 1 The secret is low humidity—only 3 per cent. The Home Sauna feels only toasty warm and cozily pleasant for up to half an hour. The actual time spent in the Sauna , is a matter of personal preference but half an hour is a fair average. WHAT ADVANTAGE HAS THE HOME ’ SAUNA OYER THE FINNISH SAUNA? 1. In the Home Sauna complete privacy is ensured. 2. In the Home Sauna the head is out of ♦ the cabin and only fresh air is breathed. 3. The Finnish Sauna uses convective heat which is devoid of deep penetration, ’ whereas in the Home Sauna infra-red heat rays penetrate into the true skin, the ’ region containing the sweat glands and , the terminal nerve endings of the skin. WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF A SAUNA? . * 1. The use of heat to relieve pain and ease stiff joints is commonly used in hospitals and health spas. There is however no evidence to show that minerals present - in thermal waters have a curative effect. The benefit comes from the heat. In a Sauna 19O‘F. is comfortable, whereas in water only about 115’F. can be tolerated. X The stimulation of the blood circulation by the heat dilates the blood vessels and the subsequent cold shower constricts them. In the process red and white blood cells are whisked through the body along with other antibodies, to combat disease . germs or viruses. 3. The induced perspiration of the 1 Sauna expels uric acid from the body— . and gout is associated with a high level of « uric acid in the blood. Regular elimination of other wastes assists in maintaining bodily health. < 4. Cleansing of the skin, the largest organ of the body, is achieved by opening the pores and expelling impurities. There is no more effective way of removing make-up; movie stars use Sauna for this purpose.
