Finnish sauna

The Finnish sauna stimulates the activity of the heart and blood vessels, improves the circulation of blood in the skin and muscles, the heart beats more intensely, the heart rate increases. It improves the activity of internal secretion glands that regulate the function of all organs and systems. Metabolism is more intense, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and microelements are dissociated better. The sauna treatment literally wakes up the whole body, tonifies the skin and improves the ability of its thermoregulation, improves blood circulation in it, health and mood changes to the better. Hot air with water vapour stimulates the nerve endings on the skin and "triggers" reflexively various physiological mechanisms and reactions. The skin gets warmer, the skin capillaries expand, sweating increases substantially. Then the harmful disintegration products that are a product of metabolism leave the body. At the same time, water and salt exchange is improved. Lactic acid is excluded from the body - the cause of physical fatigue; reactivity and muscle stretching increases.

The Finnish sauna eliminates fatigue, relaxes tired muscles, and improves taste, sleep and mood. No wonder that the physiological effect of the sauna is very beneficial even as part of treatment of many chronic diseases. Sauna helps treat nose and throat inflammation and chronic bronchitis.

Turkish steam bath (hammam)

(Currently out of service)

The Turkish steam bath (hammam) differs from the Finnish and Russian saunas in effect and composition. It helps the organism to get rid of harmful products and toxins that accumulate in it, and also rejuvenates it. The Turkish steam bath has benches and heated floors, but the basic characteristic that distinguishes it from other saunas is that there is a high humidity that reaches up to 85% and the air temperature averages at 50 degrees. The hammam treatment starts with warming on stone benches, which are quite hot. You must lie there for half an hour. At that time, one begins to sweat strongly, and the organism gets rid of the harmful products that have accumulated in the surface layers of the skin.

The Turkish steam bath is very beneficial in case of rheumatism, respiratory diseases and some skin diseases. In order to achieve the therapeutic effect, eucalyptus is added. Thanks to it a healing effect is achieved, which means that saturated water vapour with eucalyptus cleanses the skin well, improves capillary circulation and, after it is absorbed into the body, has a healing effect.

Thanks to high humidity and temperature, the skin gets moisturised. The Turkish steam bath has a positive effect on hair, especially if it is weakened. After this bath, it are strengthened and hydrated to the maximum possible level.

Almost every woman is troubled by cellulite. If she visits the Turkish steam bath regularly, she may get rid of it completely.

The Russian banha exhibits a positive influence on the immune system, flushing unwanted elements from the body while also contributing to a youthful look.

Countercurrent pool

The counterflow device is a unique invention for swimming pools between 15 and 20 metres of length. This device creates an "infinite pool" on a minimal area by providing unique opportunities for gradually increasing the sports load as well as for an effective curative massage with a stream of water with air bubbles. The countercurrent device produces two water jets with an air stream using pumps and nozzles. Pumps for the single-nozzle counterfcurrents can produce up to 3 kW and a water flow rate of up to 60 m3/h and generate an initial countercurrent impulse up to 35 kg per ms.

Pumps for the double-nozzle countercurrents can produce up to 4 kW and a water flow rate of up to 78 m3/h and generate an initial countercurrent impulse of up to 50 kg per ms. When a person overcomes the force of the countercurrent, they overcome a load comparable with long-distance swimming. The chlorine-free water disinfection and the complete absence of unpleasant chlorine odour, eye and skin irritation, dry and brittle hair, and other problems related to chemical water treatment allow for comfortable swimming in our pool. The natural treatment of water in the pool of our complex allows people who suffer from asthma and allergy to enjoy comfortable swimming without any negative consequences.
