Wellness Bodhina

Lie down on the spacious lounger and dream away among the colourful salt stones from the Himalayas and let the beneficial effects pamper your body. Salt aerosols are beneficial for the airways. The salt softens them and stimulates circulation. The temperature is around 60°C, allowing you to stay a little longer in the salt stone sauna than in a Finnish sauna. Afterwards, you may rinse off cold but a lukewarm shower is basically fine.

The ceiling temperature can rise above 80°C in this sauna, making it quite sweaty. Sweat can evaporate very easily in the hot and very dry sauna air. This evaporation process cools the body so that adults can easily spend 8 to 15 minutes in this high temperature and find it pleasant. A special and very effective sauna. It stimulates circulation and relaxes muscles and, in combination with cold rinses, increases resistance.

Relax your body and re-energise your mind. Steam is the recipe for total body cleansing. Unlike a sauna, a steam bath is actually very humid. Steam is blown in and condenses on the air, creating a dense, warm mist. This beneficial warm mist, together with the condensation of water vapour on your skin, slowly raises your body temperature, making you sweat. And that is precisely the intention. Therein lies the beneficial effect of a steam bath.

Bubbles in the open air. Perhaps the most delicious thing of all. Many people underestimate the warming up of the body when sitting in warm to hot water. Even after the Jacuzzi, the body needs to be cooled back down for a while. This does not have to be ice cold, but a lukewarm to cold shower is wise. If you combine the jacuzzi with sauna use, do not go in the jacuzzi for more than 10 minutes.

Our Hammam is a room for soap/scrub massages on a heated stone table. For best results, sit in the steam bath for 5-10 minutes beforehand. The practitioner picks you up there.

After the scrub, you are rubbed with a special soap or lotion that further conditions the skin. You will then be given a full-body massage after which the body is rinsed and cleansed. The steam of the hammam will not only completely relax, but also has beneficial effects on the skin. The pores will fully open and cleanse themselves. The steam is mixed with essential oils, clearing the airways. After a hammam visit, the skin will be radiant and the whole body will be refreshed.

Take a hot shower before starting wellness activities as well as a lukewarm to cold shower after using a sauna, steam bath or Jacuzzi. Cooling the body including the head after warming up is important. A cold rinse gives a kick and the feeling of being completely reborn. If you loathe a really cold shower, it will be a consolation that a somewhat longer lukewarm shower also works. However, the effect on the body will then be somewhat less present.
