The Three Steps of the Sauna Ritual
STEP ONE Lasts approximately 5 minutes (use the hourglass). Lie down on the lower benches where the temperature is more moderate (a difference of up to 10°C compared to the upper benches).
You can increase the humidity inside the sauna and stimulate sweating by slowly pouring a ladle of water, possibly scented with an essence of your choice, onto the hot stones. IMPORTANT: pouring too much water on the stones is extremely harmful to the system!
STEP TWO – COOLING DOWN After your first sauna session, proceed with the cooling phase by spending a few moments in the relaxation room. Take a lukewarm shower, cooling your body starting from the feet; dry off and take a few minutes to rest.
SECOND SAUNA SESSION
THIRD SAUNA SESSION
Again using the hourglass, perform the third and final sauna session. Duration: 15 minutes – upper benches. Repeat the cooling phase, increasing your time in the relaxation area.
WHAT TO DO AT THE END
Once you have completed the cooling phase and your body has returned to its usual balance, drink plenty of water, electrolyte supplements, or fruit juice. Avoid drinking coffee and alcoholic beverages.
We suggest practicing the sauna shortly before bedtime to promote relaxation and restful sleep. The sauna is an excellent recovery tool for athletes; the abundant sweating helps eliminate lactic acid and toxins accumulated during physical activity.
Aufguss (also known as löyly, ventilation, or steam infusion)
is a practice widely used by sauna-goers, especially in German-speaking countries.
Our center is affiliated with AISA, and every day certified sauna masters are available to offer guests Aufguss rituals in the sauna and scrubs in the Turkish bath.
Aufguss, the German term for what is known in Italy as “steam infusion,” is a ritual for both physical and mental wellness, practiced inside a sauna. It provides a deep sense of well-being and supports the elimination of a large amount of toxins and metabolic waste.
The ritual involves pouring water (sometimes in the form of snowballs or ice) mixed with essential oils onto the glowing stones placed above the sauna’s stove. When the water comes into contact with the stones, it vaporizes, carrying essential oil particles that disperse throughout the sauna.
The Aufgussmeister, using rhythmic towel movements and sometimes accompanied by background music, directs the hot, aromatic steam toward the guests, creating an intense and pleasant multisensory experience.
To bring temperature and humidity back to optimal levels quickly, water began being poured onto the stove’s stones and the resulting steam was spread by rotating a towel.
