VITALITY BOOST

The sauna infusion has a comprehensive effect on body and mind. The rising clouds of heat create an intensive heat and training stimulus that promotes the desired, intensive sweating and increases the body's core temperature. This leads to a variety of positive effects:

• Training and strengthening of the immune system: The intense temperature stimuli effectively train and strengthen the immune system, providing the body with better protection against infectious diseases.
• Intensive vascular and circulatory training: The alternating heat phases act as an effective vascular training programme that stimulates blood circulation and can lower blood pressure. At the same time, the muscles are relaxed.
• Effective stimulus regulation training: Repeated exposure to heat and cold stimuli trains the regulation of the autonomic nervous system, which has a positive effect on stress resistance and general well-being.

A sauna infusion is therefore much more than just a heat experience - it is a holistic wellness programme for both body and mind.

The infusion has established itself as a central element of every sauna session and is increasingly celebrated as a ceremony and event.International world championships in sauna infusion promote this trend and help to further increase the popularity of the infusion. Due to its positive health effects and the increase in physical resilience, it is hard to imagine modern saunas without infusions. The infusion is therefore "state of the art": no commercial sauna today can do without an infusion!

During infusion, water vaporises and the humidity in the sauna rises abruptly. This leads to condensation cooling: the body "cools" by sweating, whereby the increased humidity makes it more difficult for the sweat to evaporate and heats the body further.

The sudden increase in humidity causes more heat energy to be transferred to the body, as the high number of water molecules in the air transports this energy.

Thermodynamics: About a minute after the infusion, a sauna towel is swung in a circular motion to evenly distribute the humid air in the upper part of the cabin. Various waving techniques are then used to create a strong air flow. This air flow destroys the thermal layer on the skin and brings additional moist, warm air to the body, which further increases overheating.

Waving correctly is therefore an art that needs to be skilfully mastered. And this is precisely why KLAFS has perfected the distribution of hot air in the VITALITY BOOST. The methodical waving completes the infusion with an effective function: the generated air flow distributes the water vapour evenly and whiska away the cooling protective layer that has formed on the skin during sweating. The heated water vapour thus hits the skin directly and the body temperature rises. This in turn stimulates our body's vitalising turbo functions.

We see the VITALITY BOOST as a valuable addition to the daily operation of commercial spa facilities and as a helpful support for operators and staff. The VITALITY BOOST does not compete with specialist staff and is not intended to replace them.

Taking a sauna is a real treat for both body and soul! The hot phase in the sauna has a relaxing effect, increases overall blood circulation and stimulates the immune system. To fully enjoy these beneficial health effects, the subsequent cool-down is of central importance. It is a necessary and indispensable part of a sauna session andas essential as a ladle to a bucket: the heat in the sauna causes the body's core temperature to rise by up to 2°C and the blood vessels to dilate. A thorough cool-down afterwards helps the body to constrict the blood vessels again, restore its usual body temperature, normalise the heartbeat and regulate blood pressure. The interplay of heat and cold stimuli acts as effective training for the blood vessels, the immune system and the cardiovascular system and enhances the relaxation effect.
