Cooling down after a sauna visit is important!

Different ways of cooling

There are several ways you can cool down after visiting a sauna. It is always important to cool toward your heart. So first your legs, arms and then go all the way underneath. You should always cool your head because otherwise you will get a headache.

The mist shower

Under a mist shower, you cool off very slowly. Because the water sprays over you, the startle reaction is less. You can compare it to a drizzle. A mist shower is also perfect to take before jumping into a plunge pool.

Immersion

Surely the most traditional way of cooling down is the plunge pool. It is also the most dreaded way. Before you jump into the plunge pool, it is important that you have already cooled down a bit. For example, through a mist shower or a walk in nature otherwise the transition is too big. In the plunge pool it is also important that you go head first.

An outdoor walk

In winter the ideal opportunity to cool off a small walk outdoors. During this walk, breathe deeply so that the warm air in your lungs is quickly lost. During a walk, it does take a lot longer to lose all the heat. Because of this, a walk can be the perfect cooling to start with, followed by a shower or plunge bath. Cooling before cooling is also called this.

A dumping bucket

Want to cool down really well in one go? Then try the dumping bucket. A dump bucket is a bucket full of cold water. By pulling a rope, a lot of cold water falls over you in one go. The advantage is that you can get rid of it all at once.

Cold shower

Of course, you can also cool off under a cold outdoor shower. It is important not to forget your head even during this shower. Recently we have also added beautiful outdoor showers to our product range.
