Sauna cyklus DA, Užėjimas LT

It is advisable to warm up in the sauna for 10-15 minutes (depending on the temperature and type of sauna), and cool down gently with a shower or more shockingly with a cold plunge, or ice bucket for at least 10 seconds. Relaxation follows by allowing the body temperature to normalize again which takes about 10-20 minutes before repeating the cycle.
