The Laconium is a mild and gentle variant of the sauna, which has its origins in ancient Roman bathing culture. It offers a consistent, dry radiant heat that penetrates deep into the body and gently warms it without overheating. The Laconium is particularly suitable for people who want to avoid the high heat of a classic sauna but still want to benefit from the cleansing and relaxing effects of the heat.
In the Laconium, temperatures range from about 55 to 65 degrees, providing a pleasant, not too intense heat experience. The room is mainly heated by heated walls, floors, and seating areas, so the radiant heat acts evenly on the body. This leads to a slow but steady increase in body temperature, causing the body to naturally begin to sweat without excessively burdening the circulatory system. A stay in the Laconium can therefore last up to 30 or even 60 minutes, allowing for long-lasting and deep relaxation.
The main effect of the Laconium lies in its gentle detoxification. Through the slow onset of sweating, toxins are excreted through the skin without putting a heavy strain on the body. This has a positive effect on metabolism and promotes regeneration. At the same time, the immune system is strengthened, and circulation is stimulated, supporting the entire organism. The slow temperature increase also has a relaxing effect on the muscles, relieves tension, and improves general well-being.
Unlike other types of saunas, which often work with humid air, the Laconium is a dry heat chamber. As a result, the heat is perceived as less oppressive, and the respiratory tract is spared. In addition, the dry heat is ideal for people seeking gentle but deep warmth to cleanse the body and reduce stress.
The Laconium is perfect for anyone who prefers a longer, consistent heat application that gently detoxifies and regenerates the body. It is also excellent as an intermediate stage or complement to hotter sauna sessions and offers a pleasant and soothing form of relaxation. Those who long for a relaxing and regenerating sauna experience that pampers both body and mind will find the right balance of warmth and well-being in the Laconium.
