Instructions for Bathing
• Begin by washing yourself.
• Stay in the sauna for as long as you feel com- fortable.
• Forget all your troubles and relax.
• According to established sauna conventions, you must not disturb other bathers by
speaking in a loud voice.
• Do not force other bathers from the sauna by throwing excessive amounts of water on
the stones.
• Cool your skin down as necessary. If you are in good health, you can have a swim if a swim-
ming place or pool is available.
• Wash yourself after bathing.
• Rest for a while and let your pulse go back to normal. Have a drink of fresh water or a soft
drink to bring your fluid balance back to normal.
