After 5 to 8 minutes, a lukewarm shower is recommended, followed by a refreshing bath in a cold pool. If necessary, you are welcome to repeat the process. Do not forget: Drink plenty of fluids (water).

  • During pregnancy, you are generally allowed to take a sauna session. Recommended: Sit on the lowest level so as not to be exposed to the absolute temperature.
