Having a sauna is one of the best ways to keep your body healthy and strong. Dosages of sauna must always be based on your health status. While it suffices for a healthy person to proceed from how he or she feels (*1), caution must be exercised both in case of high and low blood pressure.In such a case, you should take into consideration that the heat from sauna dilates vessels, causing the blood pressure to drop. However, in cooling processes the blood vessels contract and the blood pressure rises. Thus, in case of hypertension cooling processes should be limited to cool water (about 18 degrees or warmer), and in case of hypotension more caution should be exercised on the sauna bench.If you have low blood pressure, you might want to spend less time in the steam room at any one time and instead take shorter trips. In times between, cool down properly. You could take a cool/cold shower, submerge yourself in water or roll in snow, whatever is the best for you. In case of high blood viscosity (if the blood is “thick”) and varicosis (multiple varices), you should be aware of additional temporary loss of fluids and a potential risk of thrombosis. In such cases, consult with your doctor regarding any sauna procedures. A specialist should be consulted about sauna practices in aggravation phases of heart and chronic diseases. If you have fever, having a sauna is not recommended. Pregnant women should follow a “lighter” version of their sauna habits.Throughout millennia sauna has been a temple of health and a venue of magical rites in very different regions from Japan to Central America. And the tradition of sauna lives and continues to develop. Everyone has a chance to discover the part of sauna procedures they want to make their own. You just need to pay attention and listen to your body. This guarantees proper relaxation, relief of stress and cleansing. And there may be a bonus: a quick visit to the world of good thoughts, new ideas and magical moments.*1 Katriina Kukkonen-Harjula &amp; Kyllikki Kauppinen (2006) Health effects and risks of sauna bathing, International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 65:3, 195-205

Iglusauna is not just about the design and craftmanship. Iglusauna can be the landmark in your garden or an expression of your mindset. The steam of Iglusauna is famous at home and abroad. Due to it&#039;s curved shape steam travels upwards to the ceiling, drifting softly downwards and filling the entire room and enveloping those relaxing on the bench.<a href="https://iglucraft.com/en/outdoor-saunas/">View all Iglusaunas</a>

How does sauna affect your body?

As with any type of training, everybody needs to progress according to how they are feeling, i.e. being moderate at first, then gradually increasing the dose. The effect that a sauna session has on your body can be compared to moderate physical activity or training, but it is still recommended that you have one &quot;regular&quot; sauna session before whisking - enjoy it in good company with family and friends or by yourself :)In case of high blood pressure you should take caution with cooling processes and keep away from sudden temperature fluctuations. In case of low blood pressure it is recommended to enjoy shorter sauna sessions and to cool your face, head, and body with water. In some saunas I have even encountered ice buckets that serve this purpose.  So, in case of high as well as low blood pressure the golden rule is that if you consider your well-being, getting steamed is a truly pleasant experience and can only benefit your health.Several longitudinal studies have confirmed the link between going to the sauna and keeping the risks of blood pressure and coronary heart disease at bay. The reason here being the training that the alteration of hot and cold temperatures has your heart and vascular system. But also the fact that sauna helps to relax and decreases the levels of stress. Start your Iglusauna experience here: <a href="https://iglucraft.com/en/outdoor-saunas/">https://iglucraft.com/en/outdoor-saunas/</a>

Q: How does sauna affect my blood pressure?

An important golden rule about sauna is: in order for a sauna experience to be one of enjoyment and beneficial to health, you should proceed from and observe your well-being.In order for the indicators of feeling to be reliable, it is recommended to avoid consuming alcohol and other psychotropic substances as well as antidepressants during sauna procedures. Consuming beer and other light alcoholic beverages that is a popular pastime in the Baltics, Finland and Russia should be postponed until reposing after the sauna. Even though a light beer has no significant effects on the body of an adult, it also does not provide anything necessary. And often one beer is not left with another or as old folk say: third time is a charm. Such amounts, however, are not good for riding the sauna highs based on the internal regulation of the body but instead start affecting adequate self-perception. I myself promote sauna enjoyment fully free of extracorporeal substances of pleasures since even after sauna procedures / rituals it is good to pay attention to what is going about with your senses.The state of mind achieved from the cleansing and relaxation of the body is a value in itself. At least two musicians who have participated in sauna rituals have found new melodies in themselves in this a way. And a former top athlete summarised the experience simply as follows: that sauna thing is sick – I get such good ideas.

Four hand-crafted Iglucraft glamping cabins in a safari in Denmark with outstanding occupancy and high nightly rates combining centuries-old Nordic shingles technology and modern craftsmanship have been thriving through the challenges of 2020. They are ready to order six more cabins for next season. What are they doing right?As there is no other industry in the world right now reinventing itself quite as dramatically and rapidly as tourism and hospitality, the sectors are adapting their ways of working by reimagining both their services and spaces offered. It is believed that most likely the attitudes, motivations, and preferences of people and tourists will have changed for the foreseeable future, perhaps forever.The new factors of success People are used to travelling and they continue to do so. It is predicted that travel and tourism will grow, not by reverting to what it was, but by adjusting to a world where all activities and everything we do in the world will have changed.“There is no question that the special circumstances in 2020 have further changed our guests’ perception of what a good holiday is,” says Thomas Hansen, the Manager of Operations in Ree Park Safari. “More and more people will stay in Denmark the coming years and the money they used to spend abroad is going to be used on “special” experiences back home. Therefore, we are expecting the glamping concept to grow and with the right combination of more individualized experiences and accommodation level of a hotel room, we are looking at a growing and profitable business. People are simply willing to pay more as the value of the experience increases.” Ree Park Safari that combines a unique setting and smart accommodation choices, fosters social distancing and attracts domestic travellers who desire to get away from the city into the nature. After the fully booked summer of 2020, Ree Park Safari has made an order for 6 extra cabins as to the growing demand for overnight stays in the safari.While offering accommodation to visiting families is something Ree Park Safari has tried before, the Iglucraft cabins have definitely shed new light on the whole idea.“It was important to us that the visitors of the safari park could prolong their stay in a way that adds value to our business. Our idea was to offer an experience, not just a place to sleep. With Igluhuts we hit the target better than expected,” says Hansen.People are expecting 5-star luxury for the 5-star prices, so the safari has designed each cabin individually to make them stand out from each other. “We have tried to make people feel like they are in a home away from home, not to make the cabins feel like generic hotel rooms. Therefore, we have added lots of finishing touches to make them that little bit special,” says Hansen.

Glamping In A Safari In Denmark

No one knows exactly when and where did this sauna tradition start, but being naked in the sauna is something that true sauna lovers would never question. In the Fenno-Ugric languages, the word „leil“ (the water vapour rising from a sauna heater or hot stones) has been used since at least the 3rd millennium BC. Originally in cave saunas, but also in the still quite common chimneyless smoke saunas, there was no bigger source of light than just a door and later also a small window. So being naked would not have been an issue :)Going to the sauna was a very sacred act and it was done only together with the most close ones. It is likely that the whole act was ritualized, as is indicated by the preserved sauna customs, beliefs and general respect for the sauna, which clearly runs through the entire verbal tradition.Nowadays, the most important arguments - whether to be naked in the sauna or not – are first and foremost the physiological ones. The fact is that the body needs the possibility to actively skin-breathe to cool down and sweat, which is why clothing is a distracting factor. It is also ideal for full enjoyment of the sauna when you are free from the need to play every-day social role-play games. In other words, in order to achieve the best relaxation, it is good to go to the sauna in the company of those who don&#039;t see nakedness as a problem.However, such conditions might not always be perfect and therefore cultural-traditional-habitual differences might not allow us to feel good completely naked. In such cases, the following principle can be followed: cover yourself as little as the situation and the company currently allows, so that everyone could focus on relaxation in the sauna. However, it is highly recommended to use a bath towel made of natural materials or a light bathrobe for this purpose, and to avoid synthetic swimwear and bikinis, which significantly inhibit the skin&#039;s breathing.For decades, I have been organising sauna rituals for people from very different nationalities and cultural backgrounds, and mostly, after hearing the explanation of why and how, people tend to either trust the tradition and be naked or cover their groin area with a sauna towel. In the rest area a sauna towel or a bathrobe is used, so that everyone would feel comfortable.
