Steam bath and sauna

MeineBase® (AlkaBath) in a steam bath

You should prepare carefully for this heat treatment so that you don’t suffer any unnecessary losses of minerals and cell water during the inevitable sweating.

Two hours before going into the steam bath, drink one litre of 7x7 KräuterTee ( 7x7 AlkaHerb), and then if possible another liter of uncarbonated water which is low in minerals. You should also take two to three teaspoons of WurzelKraft aromatic or fruity(AlkaLife aromatic or fruity).

In this way you will equip your body with “dishwashing liquid” and aids to elimination, but above all with plenty of water and minerals, so that during the strong sweating your body won’t suffer any losses of these two important substances.

In the steam bath we apply a mixture of alkaline salt and liquid honey, mixed together in equal proportions to make a paste which is easy to spread. First put the salt in a bowl, then add a shot of water, stir briefly and then add the liquid honey.

Applying the paste to the body is a real pleasure. After 5 to 10 minutes, the honey and salt mixture is massaged in using the massage technique described on the next page.

Firstly you should sweat in the steam bath for 10 minutes, then remain in the steam bath and massage the honey and salt poultice in well for a further 10 to 15 minutes using the recommended massage technique. Shower the paste off, take a short rest and then the process may be repeated in the steam bath.

It is both surprising and enjoyable to see how much can be eliminated by the skin both during the preparation phase, when drinking the tea and water, and during the steam bath, when the WurzelKraft encourages metabolization and kidney function. This can often be seen by the towel changing color.

Please avoid washing your pleasantly self-oiled skin with shower foam. Instead enjoy the deep satisfaction of experiencing the wonderfully self-oiling effect and the very agreeable skin care provided by the honey and salt alkaline mixture, which will have successfully activated the sebaceous glands all over your body.

This skin care will give you truly baby soft skin such as you have not experienced on your own body for many years!
