Swimming in the sea, combined with a hot sauna, provides a number of health benefits that contribute to both physical and mental well-being.

At Risør Havbad on Solsiden you can try this refreshing combination all year round.

The health benefits of sea bathing

Swimming in cold seawater has been shown to improve circulation, increase energy levels, and boost the body's ability to handle temperature changes. The cold water triggers a natural response in the body, drawing blood to vital organs, which can boost the immune system and reduce stress. Sea bathing is also known to relieve muscle pain and speed up recovery after exercise.

Sauna – ideal after swimming in the sea

After a swim in the ocean, there's no better way to unwind than in a hot sauna. Saunas help improve blood circulation, remove toxins from the body through sweating, and reduce muscle tension. The warm air in the sauna also has a calming effect on the body's nervous system, which can help lower stress levels and improve sleep quality.

Bath rituals and infusions

The combination provides maximum effect

Alternating between cold seawater and a hot sauna provides optimal health benefits. The body is trained in its ability to regulate temperature, which provides a boost to both physical and mental well-being. Many also experience a feeling of deep relaxation and renewed energy afterwards.
