Bio sauna
What's a Bio-Sauna?
this sauna form is less demanding on the circulatory system and is different to the traditional Finnish sauna in the following ways. The temperature in the bio sauna is around 60° Celsius compared to around 85-95°Celsius in the Finnish sauna. Humidity is around 45% in the bio sauna and between 15-30% in the Finnish sauna. In the Finnish sauna, it is customary to pour water with added herbs over the heated rocks. However, in the bio sauna, different coloured lights glow at intervals. This is founded on the theory that colour and light influence the human body and its biological functions. Coloured light from the four spectral colours have a balancing effect; blue has a calming and relaxing effect and increases oxygen in the blood, red is the contrary and has a more stimulating effect. The colour red is also believed to have a positive effect on problematic skin like eczema and acne. Green is supposed to create a regenerating and relaxing effect, which can improve the healing process in cases of chronic disease. The colour yellow is uplifting and creates a happy atmosphere and can help with depression.
