Sauna Rituals at Terme Krka

Natural exfoliants remove dead skin cells, allow sweat to secrete more freely and make your skin smoother to touch, all while making you smell fragrant. Detoxifying skin care routines with exfoliants take place in a steam room at a schedule time and under the guidance of a sauna master – with a gradual rising of the temperature in the room, the sauna master increases the effect of the detoxification and the clearing of skin.

You will have your pick of creams here, namely the Grape cream, Zen green tea cream and the Honey touch cream, which make your skin soft, silky smooth and shiny. Before entering the sauna at a specified time, you will get a cream to apply and then rinse off with lukewarm water after going to the sauna.

During this ritual, the sauna master swirls air with a towel or a birch branch to spread it evenly across the sauna. This dramatically promotes sweating. The swirl therapy is accompanied by theme music, all of which makes for a good atmosphere and a special experience.

Pouring water infused with natural essential oils over the stove or the heated stones makes the air fragrant and allows for extra steam in the sauna. This promotes sweating and clears the respiratory system. The water pouring is done by the sauna master every 30 minutes, each time with different herbal and fruity scents.

The sound bath with a gong and Tibetan bowls is an ancient form of regeneration. Gentle vibrations of the gong and the bowls are deeply relaxing and promote flexibility of mind, muscle and joints. They increase lymph fluid flow, which facilitates the flow of energy in the body and the release of toxins. The vibrations also improve blood circulation, promote the healing of injuries and activate the parasympathetic nervous system responsible for relaxing the body.

Pampering in a traditional Japanese bath onsen is relaxing, quickly alleviates physical tension and anxiety and helps promote internal balance. The purifying and relaxing ritual in a thermal pool of 40 Degrees Celsius promotes detoxifying processes in the body. The Japanese bath is available at the Vitarium Spa & Beauty Wellness Center in Dolenjske Toplice.

It is important to drink enough fluids when in the sauna. Treat yourself to a water at the tea bar to hydrate or opt for an herbal tea for relaxation. Fresh fruits will ensure you get necessary vitamins. After the sauna, we recommend you opt for light vegetable dishes rich in minerals, electrolytes and vitamins.

After the sauna, refresh yourself with a shower and end your pampering with a grape vitamin cream. We suggest you visit the thermal pool before going to the sauna and enjoy a massage after. This way, your skin will be perfect for a complete skincare treatment. Rejuvenating, detoxifying and relaxing. You will be ready to take on the day, refreshed and invigorated.
