FINNISH SAUNA
It is a small room with wooden benches. It has a relatively low humidity. The temperature reaches up to 85-120°C.
How does sauna work?
Water is thrown on the hot stones topping, a special stove used to warm up the sauna. This produces steam, which makes the sauna feel even hotter. The sauna is usually warmed to 95°C. The humidity is about 10%. One session in the sauna should last up to 15 minutes. Then you should allow a short cool down period. You should repeat this serious two or three times.
Benefits of sauna:
• it detoxifies and clarifies your body,
• it improves your immune system,

• it helps you gain the feeling of well-being,
• it makes you look slimmer (during one session you can burn up to 300 calories – you can burn the same amount of calories after running 4 km).
Finnish sauna rules:
• one session in the sauna should last from 5 - 15 minutes and the total amount of time in the sauna shouldn’t exceed 30 minutes a day e.g. 2 x 15 minutes or 3 x 10 minutes. For the best benefit use the sauna 2-3 times a week.
• after leaving the sauna takeby turns a cold and warm shower and rest for about 10 - 15 minutes
• during the session in the sauna and while resting you should drink tea, juice or mineral water.
• during the session in the sauna you mustn’t apply any cream on your face or body, because it would reduce the sweating body surface.

• do not enter the sauna when you are tired or under stress, because it would strain the heart, what lowers the effectiveness of the session.

JACCUZI
The easiest and most natural way of water massage is a bath in a whirlpool tub, which is colloquially called a jacuzzi. It is a perfect way to relax and soothe away everyday stress and strain. Your whole body is massaged by jets combining air and water for a more intense massage and relaxation experience. Such hydro-massage improves blood supply of your skin, relives pressure on your muscles and helps the cares and worries of the day drift away.
The water cascade makes the Wellness Centre more attractive.
A water cascade falling into a swimming pool creates a great visual effect apart from a relaxing atmosphere. The cascade not only makes your bath more attractive, but it massages your back or neck effectively as well. It also relives pressure on your muscles, improves your cardiovascular system and soothe the pain.
In this area you can also find deckchairs to relax.
STEAM BATH
It gives you a wonderful relaxation, but above all it is good for your health. It is a sweat bath like sauna, however, with a different climate inside. In a steam bath it is not as hot as in sauna and humidity is much higher. For many people this lower temperature (between 43 - 46°C) and relative humidity reaching 100 % are perfect conditions to relax. The hot steam helps by airway and rheumatic diseases. Steam bath is also great for your beauty as it purifies, detoxifies and hydrates your skin.
