3 LYMPH ACTIVATING SAUNA The heat that activates A playful way to perform the sauna ritual. A wellbeing and leisure ritual at the same time that actively engages the sauna participants, inebriated by the aromas, music and heat exchanges. A dry sauna that is very effective for detoxifying the body, increased by stimulating the skin with special brushes made with Tampico (a completely natural fibre obtained from Mexican agave leaves, dried, beaten and scraped to preserve the tenacious filamentous parts). The body has five main routes for the elimination of waste substances: the colon, kidneys, liver, lungs and skin. Of these, the skin is the largest organ for the elimination of toxins, so that it is sometimes called the third kidney because of its role in the detoxification of the body. In fact, up to 1/3 of all the impurities of the body are expelled through the skin and it is always the first organ to show symptoms of imbalance and toxicity. If the skin is unable to release toxins efficiently, rashes, acne, hives, itching or even eczema and psoriasis may occur. Dry skin brushing is a simple and effective way to facilitate the elimination of toxins. It is an old European method promoted by many naturopathic doctors such as Sebastian Kneipp, the father of hydrotherapy, in the natural treatment movement. It is a practice that eliminates a lot more waste matter than any soap and, combined with the strong stimulation of a sauna, it brings significant health benefits to the body. 3

Enter barefoot Enter and lay a natural fibre sheet on the bench It is always better to have a shower and dry the body well before entering It is advised not to enter wearing contact lenses It is common to feel a slight tickling sensation the first few times the brush is used. As the lymphatic system gradually activates, the feeling will transform into pure pleasure. Diet Drink a hot herbal tea (avoid cold drinks) before entering. Do not enter on a totally empty stomach or at the start of the digestive process. Avoid ingestion of animal proteins which take longer to digest; raw fruits and vegetables are preferable. At the end of the treatment, rehydrate the body with a remineralizing drink (herbal tea, fruit or vegetable juice or a not-too-cold beer to avoid congestion) and eat one/two wedges of raw apple to restore the proper balance of sugars, mineral salts and vitamins. Wornings Metal objects or jewelry that if they are not in full contact with the skin tend to heat up and to burn. We recomend not enter with jewelry, watches, etc...

5 How to do it 1. Have a shower and dry the body well 2. First entry: minutes as desired and in any case remain until the temples start to throb. This is the sign that the body has warmed up sufficiently. As soon as you enter, put one/two ladles of water (the amount depends on the desired degree of humidity) in the stones. Please note: the more humidity in the cabin, the higher the perceived temperature. NEVER overdo it with the water so as to always keep the humidity below 20% 3. Immediately begin to brush the body with the dry brush. Brush using long strokes and be more gentle where the skin is thin (e.g. stomach, inner thighs, inner arms...) and apply more pressure where the skin is thicker.

Rub the entire palm of the hand from the wrist to the fingertips back and forth seven times, then do the same for the back of the hand. With the palm facing downward, brush the space between the thumb and forefinger back and forth 14 times. Repeat with the left hand.

Starting from the fingers, brush the top of the foot from left to right, 7 times for each zone, moving upwards till you reach the ankle. Brush around the ankle, back and forth 7 times. Brush from ankle to knee upwards towards the heart 7 times; gradually work on the entire surface of the leg including the knee area. The brushing will firm the knees and also improve the circulation at the back of the knee. While standing, brush from above the knee to the groin, always towards the heart, 7 times. Gradually work around the thigh to cover every centimeter.
