How, when and why is it good to use the sauna?
A lot has been written about the sauna and maybe you do not expect to learn something new. The truth is, however, that like many procedures, it has its specifics too – how long should it be used in the beginning, or when it should not be used at all.
To begin with, a sauna is a kind of dry bath using strong heat to remove the toxins from the body. People in good health, who have already used this method, can take a sauna every day for a week. However, beginners should start with a short stay of several minutes to check the effect of heat on them.
