Rebirth of Nature.

Benefits.

The "Rebirth of Nature" ritual is designed for deep physical and mental recovery, utilizing the forces of nature. The Finnish sauna with wood heating warms the muscles, opens the pores, and helps remove toxins. The contrasting hot and cold baths strengthen blood vessels and stimulate the immune system, while a walk in the forest concludes the process, providing a sense of harmony and renewal. This ritual helps relieve stress, improves circulation, restores energy, and enhances skin condition.

Steps of the Ritual.

Finnish Sauna with Wood Heating.

First Session: Temperature 90–100°C. Start with a traditional Finnish sauna. Add eucalyptus or pine aroma to the steam to cleanse the airways and achieve a calming effect. The wood-heated sauna offers unique warmth that prepares the body for detoxification.
Second Session: After immersion in cold water, return to the sauna to achieve deeper warmth. Use birch or oak branches to stimulate circulation, relieve tension, and tone the body.
Third Session: Final sauna session using birch or oak branches again to strengthen detoxification, open pores, and deeply relax the muscles.

Contrasting Hot and Cold Baths.

First Session: After the sauna, immersing yourself in cold water gives an immediate invigorating effect. It stimulates blood vessel function, improves circulation, and strengthens the immune system.
Second Session: Immersion in hot water after cooling in cold water relaxes muscles, speeds up metabolism, and reduces tension. Hot water also helps remove remaining toxins.

Aromatherapy and Salt Scrub.

Aromatherapy: Use eucalyptus or pine aromas to enrich the sauna environment with beneficial elements. This helps alleviate fatigue and improves overall respiratory health.
Salt Scrub: After the second sauna session, use a salt scrub for deep skin cleansing and rejuvenation.

Rest on the Terrace and Walk in the Forest.

Rest on the Terrace: After the sauna, relax on the terrace, enjoying fresh air and hot herbal tea.
Walk in the Forest: Conclude the ritual with a light walk in the forest. Fresh air stabilizes breathing, restores internal balance, and energizes the body.
