With their toxin blasting, circulation improving qualities, saunas could be the key to a healthier – and less stressful – 2021.
Not only increasing blood flow, improving cardiovascular and respiratory functions, saunas can even help the body battle common colds and viruses by encouraging the production of white blood cells – not to mention the mental health and relaxation benefits.
Leading the UK market in its wellness endeavour is Klafs at Guncast, a partnership that sees the very best German design engineering partner with a luxury swimming pool specialist to deliver wellness suites to British clients – and it’s becoming more and more popular by the day.
Gilles Darmon, Director of Klafs at Guncast explains; “The health benefits of regular sauna use has made it a popular activity for over 2000 years, with the tradition thought to date back to 2,000 BC when it became prevalent across Northern Europe. It’s reported that 1 in 3 Finns still use them, and in the United States, there are thought to be over a million saunas. Klafs have been designing the highest quality saunas and wellness suites for almost a century, and UK clients are finally beginning to see the value of regular use.
“The past year has had many people striving for the ability to switch off, relax and really focus on both their physical and mental wellbeing – this has resulted in more people looking for regular access to the fantastic benefits a sauna can provide, but within their own home.”
But it isn’t just a hot sauna that’s piquing interest. One of the most innovative products in Klafs’ range, the SaltProX is the first Microsalt device designed for private use, producing a very fine salt aerosol which, when inhaled, has powerful anti-inflammatory and disinfectant properties, stimulating the removal of mucus and dirt from the airways and helping clear the respiratory tract. This makes it particularly good for those who suffer from hay fever or asthma, frequent colds, sinusitis and skin complaints.*
Additionally, the InfraPLUS infrared Sauna can have a particularly intensive effect on the body. While a traditional sauna heats the air, in turn warming the body, infrared heats the body directly, without warming the air. The mild warmth from the rays gently penetrates the skin and can help to relieve pain in target areas, such as the back, shoulder or neck, as well as alleviate pain arising from wear and tear to the joints. The soothing warmth expands the vessels and can stimulate circulation and metabolism as well.*
Established in Germany in 1928, Klafs is widely regarded as a world-leader in wellbeing facilities thanks to their pioneering take on traditional saunas. Going beyond saunas, Klafs at Guncast offers the full range of specialist spa facilities, including steam baths, caldariums, mud baths, hamams, tepidariums, ice lounges, ice fountains and snow cabins – each crafted to the customers’ exacting requirements.
