Heart and circulation are hardly strained by the mild climate
What is a tepidarium? Unlike the conventional sauna, the mild tepidarium climate is demonstrably easy on the circulation. Mild processes of purification and detoxification in the organism are initiated. During a longer stay, a slight artificial fever develops, and the immune system is also stimulated in a non-specific way. Regular visitors therefore report a decreasing frequency, for example, of colds.
Typically, in this type of mild sauna, heat rays are emitted from walls, benches or heated loungers to the center of the room. The stay is still perceived as pleasant even after a long time. Because the temperature is 35-41 degrees (95 to 107,6 °F), which is about the normal body temperature.
Longer stay in the tepidarium does not harm health
At the same time, the humidity is rather low, but at most medium. Even back in ancient Rome, stone or marble tiles were often used for interior lining. This is still common practice in many sauna facilities today. Often, the operators are also trying to revive the flair of the ancient Roman bathing culture.
This is naturally very popular with many guests. The background to this mild form of sauna bathing is primarily holistic relaxation. Compared to the conventional sauna cabin, the heating of the visitors takes place only very carefully, very gradually and slowly. Therefore, the visit is particularly suitable for people who are denied the visit to a normal sauna, for example, for medical reasons.
Half an hour stay or longer is not unusual
To optimize and support the relaxation processes, many tepidariums have pleasant background music playing. So it is easily possible to spend 30 minutes or even longer, relaxing in it. It is quite common to perhaps have a little conversation with other guests or friends, or even to read a book.
From the point of view of health and prevention, the visit can be recommended up to three times a week. As a particularly mild sauna, this type of gentle physical warming is generally considered suitable for everyone. However, contraindications, as they apply to visiting the conventional sauna cabin, should also be observed when visiting a tepidarium.
Ceramic stores heat and releases it slowly
Ceramic materials can also be used for the interior lining of tepidariums. Ceramic stores heat for a particularly long time and releases it only gradually to the environment. Exactly this pleasant effect of heat radiation is intended. Even patients with circulatory problems can usually use this form of sauna safely. Nevertheless, the doctor should be asked for advice before the first visit.
Especially during convalescence, many curative effects are reported by visitors to this mild sauna climate. Passionate sauna-goers also visit the tepidarium to prepare for a visit to a sauna cabin with a much higher temperature. This type of cardiovascular training has also proven to be very effective for sensitive individuals.
