Whether you prefer it hot and dry or mild and humid, you decide. The SANARIUM^® lets you choose your ideal bathing climate and offers a range of health benefits, from helping to lower blood pressure to gently training the cardiovascular system.

SANARIUM®

Not just before and after the sauna, staying hydrated is important at all times. Tea or water is best.

Regular sauna sessions can help to strengthen the immune system over time. Bathing in alternating temperatures helps the body develop its defence mechanisms.

Warmth is good for you. The soothing infrared heat strengthens the body and can relieve tension.

After the sauna, we recommend a cold Kneipp treatment (a hydrotherapy method) followed by a warm foot bath. This stimulates circulation throughout the body. 

A short walk is often enough to refresh body and mind. When temperatures outside are cooler, a sauna session warms the body up again. 

Inhaling salt promotes natural moisturising of the respiratory tract and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It's like a day at the seaside!

Exercise is good for you, and here’s the golden rule: anything is better than nothing. Whether it’s cycling, yoga, or a short run, the key is to find what works for you and stick with it.

Essential oils have antibacterial and germ-reducing properties, making them ideal for a healthy infusion in the sauna.

Taking time to rest is essential for both body and mind. Activities like yoga or a warm, relaxing bath can help you unwind, and only a well-rested body is able to produce new antibodies effectively.

Regular SANARIUM® sessions (low-temperature sauna at 55 °C and 48% humidity) can naturally return blood pressure to a normal level.

Soak up sunlight whenever possible as vitamin D produced by sunlight strengthens the immune system.

A stronger body needs sufficient, restorative sleep. The pleasant sense of relaxation after a sauna session can help you fall asleep more quickly and improve overall sleep quality.
