Sauna Bath

Yesterday i met my friend panneer selvam in his room. He prepared to go for Health Club( his weight is 102 kg ). I also joined with him. We went to L I V in akasaka. He was already member there. LIV is in 23 rd building near KBS Telivision Tower. Really nice place. They have all the facilities ( all type of machineries , aerobic, swimming pool ... ) in that place. I joined for trial member ( one day permit ). Exprimented some machines and had bath in swimming pool. Really enjoyed much in that pool. That stimulated swimming intrest in my mind.

I also had sauna bath there. Its a kind of hydrotherapy. One of the Steam bath type.

Just a small info about that :-

Saunas: the heat acts more quickly to eliminate toxins through the skin, though some consider the moist air of a steam bath to have a more satisfying effect on the respiratory system. Saunas are deeply relaxing and are a great way to melt away stress.

A sauna is an eliminative procedure; it stimulates blood flow, increases the heart rate, has an immune-modulating effect, promotes hormone production, encourages mucosal secretions in the respiratory system, opens the airways, reduces resistance to respiration, regulates the vegetative system, relaxes, and can improve mental outlook. Children can start to take saunas
at two or three years of age.

Indications: For "toning-up," for health promotion, as a way of treating pain caused by pulled back muscles, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, bronchial asthma, unstable hypertension (stages I and 11), severely disturbed peripheral blood circulation.

Warnings: Saunas should not be taken by persons with acute rheumatoid arthritis, acute infection, active tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, acute mental disorder, inflammation of an inner organ or blood vessels, significant vascular changes in the brain or heart, circulatory problems or acute cancer.
Do not spend more than 15 to 20 minutes at a time in a sauna. Wipe your face frequently with a cold cloth to avoid overheating.
