Timber used is Spruce grown in Lithuania. Sauna master Alan is from Estonia.

The sauna is manufactured in Lithuania and mounted on a trailer made in Christchurch, New Zealand.

We clean the sauna thoroughly before every sauna day. All bathers must sit on a towel to avoid direct contact with the benches. High temperatures and proper ventilation make the sauna environment very sanitary.

Our sauna reaches temperatures above 60 °C+, which helps reduce many viruses, supporting a hygienic and safe environment.

No. The sauna is fully off-grid. The stove is wood-fired, and all lighting is solar powered.

In short: Light food is fine; wait at least 1 hour before eating a heavy meal.

After a sauna, your body is focused on cooling down. Blood vessels are widened, fluids are lost through sweating, and digestion is temporarily slowed.

Eating a heavy meal straight away creates competing demands for blood flow. Your skin needs it for cooling, and the stomach needs it for digestion. This can lead to headaches, dizziness, or nausea. Dehydration can make these symptoms worse if fluids aren’t replaced first.

Best practice:

• Rehydrate first

• Cool down for 30–60 minutes

• Choose light, hydrating foods like fruit, yogurt, soup, salads, or eggs.

• Save heavy, greasy, spicy foods and alcohol for later (1+ hour)

Short Answer: 1–1.5 litres of fluid for a 55-minute sauna session.

In a traditional 55-minute sauna session (three 15-minute rounds with short breaks), most people lose around 1–1.5 litres of fluid, and sometimes up to 2 litres in hotter conditions or if they sweat heavily.

Fluid loss increases with multiple rounds, as the body stays warm and sweating ramps up in later sessions.

Best practice: Sip water between rounds and rehydrate well after your session. Consider electrolytes if you’re sweating heavily or doing cold plunges.
