Roman Spa says sauna important
Roman Spa, a sister company of Fox Export-Import which is the exclusive Philippine distributor of Tylo sauna facilities, has announced that other than offering spa treatments, Jacuzzi and sauna bathing to pamper clients, it has also wanted to inform and educate people about the important advantages, details and functions of sauna bathing.
General manager Johnny L. Siao shared helpful inputs culled from Tylo AB Sweden articles. Sauna: necessity of life.
According to Ragnar Frunck, a well-known Swedish water skiing personality, sauna bathing is one of life’s necessities and has helped him retain his physique and condition.
He said he has been taking sauna baths regularly since he was a kid and he finds it difficult to imagine spending a week without taking one or more.
He added that most saunas are heated electrically. As the largest manufacturer of saunas, the Tylo heater is efficient as it is very advanced technically, heats quickly and keeps temperature constant. He noted that there is plenty of room for stones which gives one all the heat he requires. Tylo offers eight different heater sizes.
A sauna specialist, Frunck recommends Tylo sauna heaters and control panels for customers. “We know they will get the best for their money—for bathing, easy operation and economy,” he said.
Complete relaxation
The article also said a sauna bath is the perfect answer to tense nerves and tired muscles as tensions are released, muscles relaxed and cares melt away.
It added that the skin pores open, so one perspires freely and the small blood vessels near the skin surface are revitalized.
After a sauna bath, a cool shower is the next thing to do to speed up blood circulation and make one really clean.
Environmental change for one’s body
The statement explained that environmental strains cause tensions which can lead to nervousness, irritability, worry and poor sleep.
Sauna plays a large part in releasing tensions or lowering its degree. The degree of tension in the muscles decreases as the signals which create tension in the organs of the muscles lessen. People experience this as a pleasant sense of relaxation.
David H. Ingvar, M.D., lecturer and chief physician, said sauna “gives our bodies a change of environment.”
He added that the glands in our skin expand and respond pleasantly to the sensation of warmth. The abundant perspiration takes away several ounces of body weight.
Also, this is a good “exercise” for the ducts and glands of the skin and brings about a change in the distribution of blood throughout the body, Ingvar said.
Ingvar explained the result of these activities usually brings about a slight drop in blood pressure. This, plus the loss of fluid, is probably the reason why one feels relieved after a sauna.
Roman Spa is located at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel in Lahug; tel no. 232-3777. |
