The heating stones are located outside the room, which allows for increased dryness.\u00a0Low humidity just makes it possible to feel comfortable with high thermometer readings.\u00a0Moreover, modern sauna complexes are equipped with electric stoves, on which stones are laid out.\u00a0This approach makes it possible to regulate the heating of the air even without adding water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>The bath is less hot with moist air.\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">It maintains the temperature at a level of approximately + 60 &#8230; + 70 \u00b0 C, but the humidity is increased to 90% or even more.\u00a0The organization of heating allows achieving such parameters: hot stones are in the room, and water is periodically poured on them.\u00a0Accordingly, the main effect is achieved with the help of steam.\u00a0If we are talking about taking a steam bath in the steam room, then we mean exactly the bath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Air parameters also affect the organization of the process.\u00a0There are no activities in the sauna due to the high temperature: visitors only lie down and relax, without getting up from the sunbed once again.\u00a0But in the bath it is customary to use a bath broom, periodically leave the steam room, plunge into the font.\u00a0Only then is it time to rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">What to choose: bath or sauna?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Based on their differences, everything is simple.\u00a0Do you want to take a steam bath under hot steam, do a broom massage and spend time actively?\u00a0Choose a bath.\u00a0Do you want to just lie down and relax?\u00a0Then the sauna is the best choice for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">At the same time, the body tolerates bath rest better due to high humidity and relatively low temperature.\u00a0Sauna, on the other hand, is more extreme leisure, and is more suitable for trained people who tolerate dry hot air perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">By the way, both options go well with\u00a0<a style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\" href=\"https:\/\/finspa.com\/\">fonts<\/a>\u00a0, which are so nice to plunge into after a hot steam room.\u00a0And if you have contraindications for bathing or sauna rest, then a wood-fired spa will be an excellent alternative.\u00a0Bathing in warm water in the fresh air will not harm anyone, but on the contrary, it will help improve health and get complete relaxation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Often the words\u00a0&#8220;bath&#8221; and &#8220;sauna&#8221;\u00a0are used as synonyms, and, indeed, there are many similarities between them.\u00a0But the difference is also<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10307,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/finspa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/finspa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/finspa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/finspa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/finspa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/finspa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/finspa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/finspa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/finspa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/finspa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
