what do i need to be aware of when taking a steam bath?

experts recommend that you do not take a steam bath immediately after sport or any other similarly

strenuous activity. it is better to let your body temperature return to normal

first. you should also have

a quick shower before going into the steam bath – with the HoesCH steam-shower combination you can

enjoy both very easily in the same cabin. Dry yourself thoroughly; your body is now ready for a refreshing

steam bath. Drink plenty of liquid before and after the steam bath, as sweating will cause your body to lose

a lot of fluid. the best drinks are either mineral water or tea.

what exactly is the procedure when taking a steam bath?

the steam bath should last between 10 and 15 minutes. you will find that a temperature of 40 to 50°C

and a relative air humidity of almost 100 percent are the best conditions for both your circulation

and your health. shower well afterwards. a cold jet of water revives your spirits, helps keep your

blood vessels in good condition and boosts the immune system. When taking a cold shower, we

recommend that you start with your feet and hands and gradually work upwards towards your heart.

this allows your body to accustom itself to the cold. repeat the steam bath/shower cycle no more

than three times to achieve the best results for your health. after showering, rub some cream into

your skin, which will already be feeling noticeably softer. finally, relax for a bit longer on a sofa or in

bed. your body temperature will gradually return to normal while your body becomes more and more

relaxed. as when taking a sauna, observe the recommended sweating, cooling and resting times

when taking a steam bath. a steam bath gives you new energy, a healthy sense of wellbeing and inner

peace.
