Sauna – pleasure for the body and soul …

There are three ways of taking a bath in a sauna:

Dry sauna

The temperature in the sauna is about 90 - 110°C. The relative humidity is low and approaches to 10% (it is important to know that in the apartments the relative humidity depends on the season of the year and is between 45% and 65%). In a dry sauna the air makes the skin dry and sweaty very easily.

Wet sauna (Finnish Sauna)

The temperature in a wet sauna is usually between 70°C and 90°C (it is noted that sometimes 50-60°C is enough). The relative humidity is between 25% and 39%. Such humidity can be obtained by throwing water over the hot stones inside the stove of the sauna.

Steam-herbal sauna (also called tylarium). The conditions in a steam-herbal sauna are much more benign: the temperature is 45–65°C; the relative humidity is 40–65%. Such conditions are appropriate for most people, even for children.

In order to achieve such humidity, it is important to install heaters which heat the air as well as produce hot steam (called combi heaters) or stoves for saunas and a steam generator. By filtering water steam through herbs and aroma essences, one can do inhalation.

Steam bath 

Bathing in a steam bath is very refreshing.
Benign temperature and relatively very high humidity (100%) are a kind of relaxing massage for the body, because they lower muscle tension and are a form of relaxation for the mind. Steam cleanses and regenerates the skin. After a bath the skin is really smooth and soft.
The temperature in the steam bath oscillates between od 40 do 55°C.
A steam bath is for those people who cannot withstand the hot air of the sauna. For most steam bath users 45°C is the most appropriate temperature.
Thanks to such good conditions, it is possible to stay inside for a longer period of time.
