Steam sauna
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, used steam bathing, stating, “Give me the power to create a fever, and I shall cure any disease.” Over time, scientists could do nothing but confirm his words. Fever is one of the body's most powerful defenses against disease. Fever raises the body's temperature above normal in an attempt to destroy invading organisms and sweat impurities out of the system. Fever is a highly efficient and fully natural process of restoring the body’s health. People have known that for thousands of years. Hyperthermia is responsible for triggering body fever in order to initiate natural defense processes. Steam sauna is one of the most efficient methods of inducing hyperthermia.
Taras przy oranżerii.While the effect of steam sauna on the human body is highly sophisticated, the very concept of sauna is pretty straightforward. Steam bathing cleanses the skin, the largest human organ. It allows the body to eliminate toxins and simultaneously tones the skin, making it more flexible and smooth. On top of that, skin becomes more efficient in the absorption of minerals.
The warmth of sauna accelerates all chemical processes taking place in the human body, making it a simple and comfortable way of getting rid of accumulated toxins. As the pores in the skin open up millions of sweat glands start to excrete, the body rids itself of metabolic and other waste products. Sweat contains almost the same elements as urine and for this reason, the skin is sometimes called the third kidney. It is estimated that as much as 30% of bodily wastes are eliminated by way of perspiration.
Warmth increases blood flow in the body, including the skin. Improved blood supply translates into improved metabolism, which means that calories are burnt more efficiently.
The benefits of steam sauna are also important from the cosmetic perspective. On the one hand, warmth and humidity open up and cleanse the skin, making it more susceptible to cosmetic preparations. On the other hand, active substances contained in such preparations (cosmetic mud, peat and paraffin preparations, etc.) are absorbed more quickly, thus nourishing the skin and making it beautiful.
Steam sauna temperature can be adapted to the preferences of each customer. Cosmetic preparations and the warmth and comfort of NeoQi® pods are a perfect match.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy has a two-pronged effect on the body. First, essences have a scent. When we breathe it in, it reaches the place in our brain that’s in charge of emotions. At the same time, it penetrates through our skin and reaches the blood supply and the immune system, on which it has a physiological effect.
The sense of smell is a mysterious process. The body and the mind know how to read “codes” encrypted in scents. They can induce good mood, stimulate a sense of relaxation or excitation, creativity, energy or even love.
Olfactory nerves also stimulate metabolism and calorie demand. The most important advantages of aromatherapy are:
• nourished and moisturized skin,
• reduced stress level,
• reduced appetite.
With the NeoQi® pod, all it takes is to press a button to create an oasis of scents. All you have to do is to lay down, relax and... let the scents do the work.
For the right effect, we recommend the following aroma combinations:
- Relaxation (Lavender & Tangerine),
- Energy (Mint & Rosemary),
- Breath (Eucalyptus & Pine),
- Sensuality (Ylang Ylang & Nutmeg),
- Mood (Orange & Ylang Ylang).
IR Sauna
Infrared is a form of heat radiation transmitted through air. It has nothing to do with ultraviolet radiation which may cause burns or damage the skin. It is a form of energy that – due to its specific wavelength – is transmitted directly to various objects.
It is a dry form of warmth that penetrates relatively deep into the body. The skin and subcutaneous tissues (fat cells, muscles and tendons) are directly heated. Infrared heat helps cleanse the skin more efficiently.
Saunas are based on two types of heating up the body. Traditional Finnish saunas use indirect heating. First, the air in the sauna is heated, and only then the heat passes on the persons inside it. In their turn, IR saunas use direct heating, which means that heat energy is targeted directly at the user, without heating up the air. As a result, the temperature in an IR sauna is much lower than in a traditional one (35 to 45°C, as compared to 80 to 110°C), thus making the visit to a sauna much more comfortable (no need to face high temperature and humidity, making breathing difficult).
The soothing warmth of an IR sauna penetrates skin tissues, makes the body feel warm, calm, as well as free from stress and fatigue.
Warmth causes perspiration, which allows the body to eliminate toxins (acids, nicotine, alcohol, cholesterol), metabolic end products, or even heavy metals (such as zinc, nickel, cadmium and lead). As a result, the skin becomes healthier and thus visually younger and more beautiful, flexible and smooth.
Perspiration is caused by a higher blood circulation rate. Faster moving blood carries more oxygen, which nourishes the skin, improving its appearance by stimulating the removal of dead cells and formation of new ones.
Infrared warmth also helps alleviate joint pains. Expanded blood vessels pump more blood into damaged muscles and tissues, thus accelerating natural recovery processes. It also supports the treatment of stiff muscles, recuperation after various injuries, and even healing wounds. For many years now infrared radiation has been commonly used in medicine as a natural booster of pharmacological treatment.
IR sauna strengthens the cardiovascular system. As the body perspires, when the moisture on the skin evaporates to cool down the body, a number of other processes simultaneously take place internally in order to reduce the body temperature as soon as possible. The heart beats faster and stronger, pumping more blood through expanded vessels. As a result, the heart constantly “works out”, thus reinforcing itself and the whole blood supply system.
A visit to an IR sauna is helpful in burning calories and combating excess weight. Our body needs energy to produce sweat (0.586 kcal is required to produce 1 g of sweat), and an average person can easily perspire 1000 g or even more sweat during one visit to a sauna, an equivalent of a 10 to 15 km run.
While the weight loss can be compensated for by the intake of fluids, the burnt calories are gone forever! This is particularly important for those who dislike or cannot work out, and still want to achieve the optimum body weight.
Vichy Shower
Vichy shower feels like a pouring rain. When the water drops hit the body, the first impression is tension, followed by relaxation.
Vichy shower is the most effective as a therapeutic water massage. With hydromassage you get the same result staying in the water, while with Vichy affects the skin surface, without the need to stay in the water.
Vibration massage
Vibration massage is used in circulatory therapy. By assisting circulation through vibrations, it activates the tissues and thus causes:
• acceleration of metabolic processes
• improved functioning of muscles, internal organs, as well as oxidation and appearance of the skin.
Vibrations stimulate cells and tissues. They support and stimulate the transfer of nutrients and metabolic products between the cells. After massage, the patient feels refreshed and relaxed.
Vibration massage in NeoQi® pods ensures:
• instant relaxation,
• stress level reduction,
• reduced muscle tension,
• relief in painful conditions.
Researchers believe that the secret of vibration massage was discovered already by ancient, lost civilizations, such as Atlantis, Mu or Lemuria who used it as an alternative for surgeries or other treatment methods.
Hydromassage
The therapeutic benefits of hydromassage are increased by the relaxing effect of warm water, which with variable force hits muscles (also the deep ones), subcutaneous tissues, skin and visceral organs (the intestine).
Stimulating effect of water and its absorption through skin is advantageous in:
• Body treatment,
• Wellness,
• Rehabilitation,
• Stress reduction,
• Relaxation.
It is perfect for:
• Loosening muscle tension,
• Supporting circulation,
• Stress reduction,
• Creating physical and mental comfort.
A combination of water and air affects tissue mechanics, thus improving the flow of organic matter. Hydromassage, just like underwater hose massage, is extremely pleasing and has great effect on improving one’s mood.
Hydrotherapy is recommended for:
• Loosening muscles, relaxation and warming,
• Supporting circulation,
• Soothing pain by the effect of warm water coupled with the beneficial influence of massage, particularly if an underwater hose is used, as it allows to precisely target the painful place,
• Stress reduction,
• Creating physical and mental comfort.
Dry sauna with aroma oils ensures :
• mental relaxation – a time just for yourself, in cozy atmosphere and soothing warmth will let set your senses at rest;
• body relaxation – the atmosphere in the sauna will loosen your muscles and improve your joints, eliminating or greatly reducing fatigue, exertion, inflammation, pain, etc.;
• deep cleansing of skin pores – when the pores are blocked, they accumulate numerous impurities, which causes inflammation, eczemas, swelling or sore skin. Sauna allows you to avoid such problems;
• elimination of toxins from the body – research shows that 75% of all toxins are removed from the body through skin pores;
• expansion of blood vessels – steam bath makes you breathe faster and increases your heart rate. As a result, more oxygen is carried to the cells of your body. Ample supply of blood and oxygen to the skin makes it firm, healthy and youthful;
• ventilation of the lungs – faster respiration and water steam make a perfect inhalation, making your lungs more capable and purifying your respiratory tract (particularly in a steam bath);
• greater body immunity – by heating up and cooling down, the body becomes more immune, and thus less prone to colds and viral diseases.
Salt water whirlpool bath offers relaxation and is the most enjoyable therapy in the world
It improves blood circulation and gives a pleasant feeling of relaxation. A whirlpool bath minimally increases body temperature and accelerates metabolism. Air bubbles jetting under great pressure from the nozzles guarantee an efficient hydromassage, relaxing and improving blood supply to the skin.
Whirlpool procedures are particularly recommendable to patients with:
• cellulite or slight overweight;
• posttraumatic pains (like when you recently sprained your ankle, broke your arm or just had your plaster removed);
• arthritis or chronic rheumatic pains;
• a plan to eliminate toxins from their body
• affected sinuses or frequent chronic conditions of the throat, lungs or bronchi
• slow blood circulation and cold feet and hands during the whole year;
• joint pains and rheumatism;
• a sense of feeling down – you suffer from low mood, you’re overtired, nervous, stressed
Water, not unlike the skillful hands of a masseur, delicately caresses your skin, makes you relaxed, soothed and allows you to be stress-free.
It is also a great medication. And salt water baths are recommended by doctors, as they help treat skin conditions and recover even after a serious disease.
After a salt water bath, 1 to 2 g of salt will remain in your body. Some of it will stay on the skin, but more than a half penetrates into the blood. Such an injection of salt loosens your muscles, expands your blood vessels and improves the condition of your skin. Salt water bath is richer in minerals than sea water. Not only does it contain ions of sodium and chlorine, but also compounds of sulfur, magnesium, potassium, iodine, bromine, as well as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. It just takes several procedures to enjoy the beneficial effects of salt water bath.
