How to Breathe Correctly in the Sauna?

Breathing correctly in the sauna is the basis for the healing effect obtained from the beneficial process of natural inhalation. If you master the correct bath and breathing technique, you can get the most benefit from the "communication with steam", which is reflected in health and well-being. The pulmonologist said that hot baths are harmful to the human body, so it is recommended that you master the correct breathing technique in the steam room before entering such institutions.

Breathing in the sauna-look at the process from the inside

Inhaling hot air can provide powerful training for the lungs and the entire respiratory system, as well as the cardiovascular and hematopoietic systems. Vapor affects the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, improves the ventilation process of the lungs, and provides a strong flow of oxygen to the blood, etc.

The basic rules of breathing correctly-TOP-10 recommendations

Rule 1-The average residence time in the steam room must not exceed 15 minutes. If you are not familiar with bathing techniques, the time for the first round should be 5-7 minutes. The number of visits depends on your "adaptability" and general health. During the whole sauna period, the golden average is 3-4 rounds. The rest time between the sauna rounds is about 10 to 15 minutes.

Rule 2-In order to adapt to the high temperature, when you enter the steam room for the first time, it is best to lay on the bottom bench. In the second round, you should lay on upper bench. And, if you immediately feel uncomfortable on the upper bench, you must go downstairs immediately. The body sends a clear signal, which should not be ignored!

Rule 3-Breathing should be calm, even and uninterrupted. No need to hold your breath or exhale strongly. And it shouldn’t feel uncomfortable. It is very important to relax completely during the breathing process, and taking a horizontal posture is not superfluous. In a relaxed state, the internal organs can be heated better.

In order to warm up properly, you need to constantly change your posture: first, lie on your side, then on your back, then on the other side.

Rule 4-If the steam is strong, you must breathe through your mouth. In the case of an average steam volume, it is best to perform a combined breath-inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, and vice versa. If the vapor is weak, even breathing through the nose is enough.

Rule 5-When breathing through your mouth, it is best to press the tip of your tongue against your palate. The tongue will act as a valve through which hot air will pass and cool to a sufficient level so as not to burn the mucous membranes. The hotter the bathroom air, the less breathing should be.

Rule 6-Experienced sauna enthusiasts often practice diaphragm muscle breathing. They need to inflate the stomach when inhaling, and inhale it when exhaling. In this training process, the respiratory center returns to normal and the mood is balanced.

Rule 7-Sweat not only discharges toxins, but also discharges all negative energy. If you want to make a sound from the heat, don't be helpless. The steam room is an ideal place for relaxation!

Rule 8-If a person has a sore throat, it is recommended to breathe mainly through the mouth to heat the tonsils well. When you have a runny nose, experts recommend that you only practice breathing through your nose.

Rule 9-When leaving the steam room, you need to take deep breaths often. A few deep breaths are enough to complete the "breathing marathon." After leaving the sauna, you do not need to sit in your seat immediately. After regaining breathing, it may be nice to walk for 2-3 minutes.

Rule 10-Wet steam is considered to be more beneficial to the respiratory system. If your goal is to provide treatment to prevent or support ENT organ diseases, you should choose a bathhouse.
