ärnusse tasub alati tulla! Seda vaatamata „valele” aastaajale või hoolimata „halvast” ilmast. Tegelikult on just väljaspool suvehooaega Pärnus palju häid võimalusi oma igapäeva stressi maandada, energiataset tõsta ja värskeid mõtteid leida.

Seda nii päris üksi kui ka koos perega või kolleegidega.

Eestimaa talved on olnud heitlikud ja see on kujundanud erinevaid võimalusi, mida Pärnu ümbruses talvel teha. Lumevabal talvel saab näiteks kasvõi aasta läbi golfi mängida, külmal

Meie majas on vähe kulda ja karda, aga seda rohkem ideid ja häid mõtteid

talvel mööda jääteed Kihnu saarele sõita, lumerikkal talvel aga Pärnumaa metsades suusatada, mis on eestlaste üks lemmikspordiharrastusi. Lumisele talvele järgneb ka ainulaadne looduslik ime Soomaal, kus tekib selline üleujutus, et naabrile küllaminekuks tuleb kanuu appi võtta.

Pärnu kui Eesti spaapealinn pakub laia valikut tegevusi igale maitsele. ESTONIA Resort Hotel & Spa tahab kolleegide/konkurentide väärikast seltskonnast eristuda just sisu poolest. Meie majas on vähe kulda ja karda, aga seda rohkem ideid ja häid mõtteid. Meie sisekujundusest leiab palju kodumaist disaini ja Pärnumaa tootjate toodangut, hoolikalt valitud spaahoolitsuste juures kasutatakse nii värsket kohalikku toorainet kui ka idamaist eksootikat, spaa- ja saunakeskuses saab nautida Eesti saunatraditsioone ning meie aktiivspaa eristub oma individuaalse ja teadliku lähenemise poolest treeningute läbiviimisel.

Rääkimata restoranist NOOT, kus eestimaine ja oma on eriti au sees.

Me oleme andnud endast parima, aga me ei ole veel kindlasti valmis ja iseendaga rahul. Me teame, et me saame veel paremini. Selleks, et meie pingutused läheksid õiges suunas, andke meile head nõu ja tagasisidet!

Soovime Teile sisukaid elamusi!

oming to Pärnu is always a good idea regardless of the ‘wrong’ time of the year or ‘bad’ weather! Quite the contrary, it is in fact out of summer season that there are plenty of opportunities in Pärnu for relieving everyday stress, boosting your energy level and coming up with new ideas. And you can do it all by yourself, with your family or with colleagues.

Estonian winter weather has always been changeable, which has conditioned leisure opportunities in the Pärnu region. For instance, in

Our building is remarkably quiet and safe, but there are many ideas and good thoughts

case of a snowless winter you can keep playing golf all year round; however, if it is especially cold, an ice road can take you to Kihnu island. Pärnu County forests are also perfect for skiing, which is one of Estonians’ favourite pastimes in winter. Extremely snowy winters are followed by the unique natural phenomenon in Soomaa, where floods are so high that one needs a canoe to go visit a neighbour.

Moreover, as the spa capital of Estonia, Pärnu provides a broad range of opportunities to fit every taste. ESTONIA Resort Hotel & Spa wishes to stand out among its colleagues and competitors in terms of content. Our building is remarkably quiet and safe, but there are many ideas and good thoughts. Our interior decoration features plenty of local design and products made by Pärnu County manufacturers; our carefully selected spa treatments use fresh local raw ingredients as well as exotic eastern components. The spa and sauna centre provides an opportunity to experience Estonian sauna traditions while our Active Spa stands out due to its individualized and conscious approach to classes, and then there is the NOOT restaurant, where everything Estonian and our own is especially valued.

We have done our best, but we can do even better. In order for our efforts to go in the right direction, we need your feedback and good advice!

We wish you a content-packed experience!

PAIK

Saun on juba iidsetest aegadest olnud koht, kus oma keha turgutatakse ning ka haigustest üle saadakse.

Kuigi eri maailmapaigus on saunatraditsioonid erinevad, on eesmärk siiski olnud juba aegade algusest üks.

Ü

hed vanemad tunnusmärgid veeprotseduuride kasutamisest ravieesmärgil võib leida juba Vana-Egiptuse papüürustelt, nõudelt ja seinamaalingutelt.

Sõltuvalt kliimast, aga ka religioonist ja kultuurist on tavad olnud erinevad, ent puhastavaid veeprotseduure saunas mainitakse pea kõigis pühakirjades.

KUUM ÕHK JA HEA TUJU

Hiina meditsiini kohaselt on kuumus tervise ja hea tuju kohustuslik eeltingimus. Saun avab inimese isikupära, loob teatud meeleolu. Sauna peab kogema pikkamööda, kiirustamata. Saun on läbi aegade olnud meeleolukate ja huvitavate vestluste paik, millega kaasneb tuju paranemine.

Sauna on hügieenilistel, profülaktilistel ja raviga seotud eesmärkidel kasutatud juba iidsetest aegadest alates. Erinevatel maadel ehitatud saunad erinevad arhitektuuriliselt. Ka vee- ja soojaprotseduure on läbi viidud erinevalt.

Näiteks muistsed ja mõistatuslikud inkad ehitasid kuplikujulisi aurusaunu. Kairos võib aga näha kivisse raiutud lavatseid ehk vanne, mida vaaraod kasutasid kümblusprotseduurideks ja massaažiks – vaarao lebas eelnevalt soojaks aetud vannis, millesse oli lisatud lõhnataimi, peale vanni aga masseeriti teda mitmel moel.

Rooma keisri Nero saunas korraldati lausa elektriprotseduure. Sooja veega täidetud vaati asetati elektrikala (kalaliik, mis

12 I RESORTMENU

kasutab suhtlemiseks nõrka elektrivoolu ja määrab suunda eriliste elektroretseptoritega), kes oma „särtsudega” meeldivalt ergutas.

Saunaprotseduuridele on oma tähelepanu pööranud kuulsamad vana aja ravitsejad, teiste seas ka tolle ajastu tippteadlasi Hippokrates.

Levinud oli veendumus, et vana ja haiget organismi tuleb soojendada ning niisutada.

VANA-KREEKA SAUN

Algselt kasutasid vanad kreeklased kümbluspaikadena maapõuest voolavaid kuumaveeallikaid. Maatükk, millel asus mõni allikas, oli nii väärtuslik, et selle pärast sõditi.

Kümblusrituaalide

Ajalugu pilt: TIIT EFERT

kirjeldusi kohtab juba Vana-Kreeka eepostes.

Saun oli pühendatud peajumal Zeusi võimsale pojale Heraklesele. Seetõttu kutsuti ka keha kuuma vette kastmist Heraklese supluseks. Usuti, et vee ja auru elustav võim võib kümblejale anda sama suure jõu, ilu ja väe, nagu on sangareil.

Väljakaevamiste tulemusena on leitud vanu kuurortlinnu basseinide, spetsiaalsete kaevude ja vesiravilatega. Kreeka puhtuse ja tervise jumalanna Hygieia nimest on tuletatud termin „hügieen”.

Viis-kuus sajandit enne Kristust olid saunad Kreekas laialt levinud ning kehtestati isegi seadus, mis nõudis kõigilt regulaarset saunaskäimist. Ilu ja armastuse jumalanna Aphrodite tempel Halikarnassosel oli kuulus oma kuumaveeallikate ja sauna poolest. Kreeklased uskusid, et vihtlemine annab tagasi nii tervise kui ka kaotatud armastuse.

VANA-ROOMA SAUN

Pariisis Orsay muuseumis oleval maalil on kujutatud tepidaariumi – ruumi, kus naised pärast saunaprotseduure puhkasid ja kuivatasid. Kõrvaloleval pildil on varemed Albaania varemetelinnas Apollonias.

SAUNAS OLID KÕIK VÕRDSED

Ka Rooma imperaatorid ehitasid suurepäraseid saunu – terme. Tänaval kohtudes oli vanadel roomlastel tavaks nüüdisajal nii enesestmõistetava tervitamise asemel üksteiselt hoopis pärida: „Kuidas higistate?” Rohke higistamine oli suurepärase tervise tunnus. Saunas käimine oli kui omaette kultus, seal käidi kasvõi iga päev.

Esimesel sajandil enne Kristust oli Roomas 150 ühiskondlikku sauna, sajand hiljem aga juba 865 avalikku ja 1000 erasauna.

Tegemist oli suisa spordi-, kultuuri- ja meelelahutuskeskustega. Lihtsama variandi puhul olid saunas olemas rõivistu, kuum pesemisruum, leige ruum ja jaheda veega pesemisruum koos basseiniga. Lisaks olid ruumid massaažiks, puhkamiseks ja ravitsemiseks. Luksustermid võtsid enda alla aga enam kui 12 hektari suuruse pindala. Neis termides võis korraga viibida kuni 2500 inimest. Sealsetes aedades ja terassidel sai kuulata muusikuid, lauljaid, oraatoreid ja luuletajaid ning külastada raamatukogu. Staadioneil leidsid aset spordivõistlused ja mitmesugused mängud.

JAAPANI FURO

Saun pole jaapanlastele pelgalt hügieeniprotseduur, vaid koht, kus saab mõtteid vahetada, tehinguid sõlmida ja lihtsalt ennast hästi tunda.

Kodustes tingimustes on saunaks puiduga vooderdatud metallist tünn, mis täidetakse umbes 40-kraadise veega. Seal istutakse nii pikalt kui võimalik. Kartes külmetust, mähivad jaapanlased veest väljumise järel enda ümber erilised soojad vööd. Furo’t tunnustavad ka teadlased, põhjendades sellega jaapanlaste vähest haigestumist südame ja veresoonkonna haigustesse. Tavaliselt ligunetakse vees õhtul kella kuue ja seitsme vahel, mis on hea aeg ülepingest vabanemiseks.

Jaapanis on levinud veel üks iselaadne kümblusvorm – laastukümblus. Selleks kasutatakse kõrkjalaaste, mis on segatud kuni 60 lõhnataimega. Segu asetatakse erilisele lavale või vaati ja seda kuumutatakse 60 kraadini. Laastusegus kümblemisel imendub higi laastudesse. Seansi pikkus on veerand tundi. Jaapanlased peavad seda protseduuri eriti kasulikuks kehakaalu langetamisel.

Türgi saunas lebatakse palavuse ja auru käes kõhuli kuumal marmorlaval, mis on kaetud rätikuga. Massaaž algab siis, kui on alanud higistamine. Pärast massaaži valatakse klient üle mitme ämbritäie külma veega. Seejärel minnakse basseini.

945. aasta Lavrenti kroonikas on mainitud sauna vürstitar Olga lossis Kiievis. Ka Novgorodi kroonikad sisaldavad ülestähendusi Vana-Vene sauna kohta, kus viheldi erinevat sorti vihtadega ning kasteti end külma veega.

On ka märkmeid, mis väidavad, et kui slaavlastel polnud võimalik endale sauna ehitada, kümblesid nad suurtes leivaahjudes. Päris esimesed saunad olid aga slaavlastel mullast onnid.

Tsaar Peeter I käsul hakati 17. sajandi lõpul ehitama Venemaale avalikke saunu. Vene kuulsad kirjanikud, nagu Puškin, Lermontov ja Tolstoi, on oma loomingus samuti saunamõnusid ära märkinud.

Türgi sauna ruumide asetus meenutab kujult inimese kätt. Peopesaks on köetud põranda ja kivilavatsitega sauna eesruum, sõrmedeks aga nišid, kus asetsevad erinevate temperatuuridega lavad. Türgi sauna ei minda alasti, vaid puusadele võetud rätikuga. Jalas on puust kotad, sest põrand on kuum.

Soome sauna iseloomustab tuhande aasta pikkune traditsioon, aga ka lihtsus. Õhk saunas on kuum ja kuiv, lühiajalist niiskust lisatakse leili viskamisega kerisekividele. Sauna köetakse seni, kuni temperatuur on 70–100 kraadi, ning astmelisel laval saab valida erinevate temperatuuride vahel. Oskuslikult köetud Soome saunas hajub leiliaurust tekkinud niiskus kiiresti ja asendub taas kuuma kuivusega. Pärast igakordset laval käimist võib end kasta jaheda veega või jahutada end värske õhu käes. Soome vanasõna ütleb: „Enne õhtust söömata, kui saunas käimata.”

EESTI SAUN

Esimesed kirjalikud teated saunast siin ilmanurgas (täpsemalt Läti aladelt) pärinevad Läti Henriku kroonikast. Eesti kohta leiab infot Liivimaa vanemast riimkroonikast (kirjeldab sündmusi 13. sajandi teisest poolest), kus kurjade mõtetega eesti taluperemees saadab saksa nõelakaupmehe sauna. Arvata on, et saun on olemas olnud siin juba tuhandeid aastaid varem, sest sõnad „saun” ja „leil” esinevad kõigi läänemeresoome rahvaste keeltes. Eesti saun on Soome sauna lähisugulane – tähtsaim protseduur on laval higistamine, millele lisatakse vürtsi vihtlemise ja leiliga.

Vanim saunatüüp Eestis on korstnata suitsusaun, mis ehitati eluhoonetest kaugemale, võimalusel veekogu ligidale. Lõuna-Eestis on tavaks olnud maasaun, kus ehitis on osaliselt või täielikult ehitatud künka sisse.

Sauna mineku rituaal nõudis, et tülid ja pahandused jäetaks sauna ukse taha. Sauna sisenedes tervitati regilaulu vormis: „Tere-tere, saunakene, tere, sauna leilikene.” Eesti vanasõna ütleb, et päev magamist ja saunaskäik on vennad. RM

PLACE OF

HEALING Since ancient times, the sauna has been a place where to energize one’s body and to recover from illnesses.

Although sauna traditions vary in different places of the world, since the beginning of time they have had the same purpose. tekst: TIIT EFERT pildid: VISITFINLAND, GETTYIMAGES

S

ome of the earliest signs of using hydrotherapeutic treatments for healing purposes can be seen on Ancient Egyptian papyri, dishware and murals.

Depending on the climate, religion and culture, customs varied, but mentions of cleansing water activities in the sauna are found in almost all scriptures.

HOT AIR BRINGS GOOD MOOD

According to Chinese traditional medicine, heat is a mandatory prerequisite for health and good humour. The sauna reveals the personality, creating a certain mood. It must be experienced

slowly, without haste. Throughout ages, the sauna has been a place for spirited and exciting conversations, which are bound to improve one’s mood.

The sauna has also been used for hygienic, disease preventing and healing purposes since olden times. The saunas built in different countries vary from the architectural point of view. For example, mysterious ancient Incas built domed steam saunas. In Cairo, you can see benches or bathtubs cut in stone that were used by pharaohs for bathing and massage: the pharaoh would soak in the previously heated bath with aromatic plants added to the water and would be massaged by various methods afterwards.

The sauna of Nero, the Roman Emperor, was even the place where electric treatments were performed. An electric eel (a fish species that uses weak electric current for communication and determines direction, using special electric receptors) was placed into a barrel ow warm water and created a pleasant stimulating effect with its “discharges”.

Sauna treatments also drew the attention of the most famous healers of ancient times, including one of the top scientists of the era, Hippocrates. It was a wide-spread belief that old and ill bodies had to be heated and moisturised.

SAUNA IN ANCIENT GREECE

Initially, Ancient Greeks used hot water springs flowing from the earth depth as bathing locations. A plot of land with a spring on it was so valuable, that a military conflict could break out over it. Descriptions of bathing rituals can be found as early as in Ancient Greek epics. The sauna was dedicated to Hercules,

the mighty son of Zeus. This is why dipping one’s body in hot water was called ‘Hercules’ bathing’. It was believed that the invigorating spirit of water and steam was able to give the bather the same strength, beauty and might as heroes had.

Excavations have revealed ancient resort cities with pools, special wells and balnearies. It was the name of the Greek goddess of cleanliness and health, Hygieia, from which the word ‘hygiene’ originated. Five-six centuries BC saunas were widely used in Greece, and even a law was established that required everyone to go to sauna regularly. The temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, in Halicarnassus was famous for its hot water springs and the sauna. The Greek believed that whisking could restore both one’s health and lost love.

ALL ARE EQUAL IN THE SAUNA

Roman emperors built excellent saunas as well, which were called ‘thermae’. When Ancient Romans met one another in the street, a common thing to say instead of obvious greetings used nowadays was “How are you sweating?” Heavy sweating was a sign of good health. Going to the sauna was somewhat of a cult in itself, and could be done every day if one pleased. In the first century BC there were 150 public saunas in Rome, and one century later there were already 865 public and 1000 private saunas.

These were in fact genuine sports, culture and entertainment centres. Simpler versions included a wardrobe, a hot bathing room, a warm room and a bathing room with cool water and a pool. In addition, there were rooms for massage, resting and healing. Luxurious thermae could occupy an area up to 12 hectares. They could host up to 2500 people at once, and one

could listen to musicians, singers, orators and poets on the terrace and in the gardens or visit the library. Sports competitions and various games were held on stadiums. There was also trade in art and luxury items. Romans were the first to prepare special sauna soap from goat fat and beech ash.

A Roman would go to such a leisure facility to spend the whole day there. Thermae were also the only places in Rome where status differences were erased. Although the Cristian church initially forbade its members from going to thermae, their construction in Europe started again when crusaders returned from crusades. Both public and private saunas were widely spread in the 15th century. One of the most popular locations was the Prague royal sauna visited only by a select circle. This was where scientists used to go to bathe in warm water in order to preserve sound judgement and sharp intellect.

JAPANESE FURO

For the Japanese, the sauna is not just a hygiene facility, but a place to exchange ideas, close deals and just feel good. At home, the sauna is a metal vat lined with wood, which is filled with water at around 40 degrees. The person then sits in it for as long as he or she can. Fearing the cold, the Japanese wrap themselves in special warm sashes after they step out of water.

The furo has also earned the recognition of scientists who believe it to be one of the reasons why the Japanese rarely suffer from cardiovascular diseases. People usually soak in water between six and seven o’clock in the evening, which is a good time to free oneself from excessive stress.

Another type of ‘bathing’ widely spread in Japan is the so called ‘chip bathing’, which uses bulrush chips mixed with aromatic herbs that can number up to 60 species. The mix is placed on a special bench or in a vat and heated to 60 degrees.

When the person ‘bathes’ in the chip mix, sweat is absorbed in the chips. The session lasts for fifteen minutes. The Japanese believe this treatment to be especially useful for weight loss.

History

ESTONIAN SAUNA

Traditional Estonian sauna is often bulit near pond or lake for cooling dive in after hellish steam.

OLD RUSSIAN SAUNA

The myths of East Slavs say that even gods have been whisked in saunas and that the birth of a person as well as the strength and perseverance of the Slav are associated with sauna. Andrew the Apostle is said to have been amazed at log cabins in Novgorod, in which naked people heated themselves in the steam, having first sluiced themselves down with kvass, had their bodies whisked with twigs, and then lurched into an ice-hole with loud yells and seemed to rather enjoy it.

The Laurentian chronicle of 945 mentions the sauna in the castle of Princess Olga in Kiev. Novgorod chronicles also contain records about the Old Russian saunas where whisks of various wood species were used and people poured cold water over themselves.

In addition, there are records stating that if Slaves could not build a sauna, they would use a huge bread oven instead, and Slavs’ very first saunas were mud huts.

At the end of the 17th century, the construction of public saunas started in Russia, ordered by Tsar Peter the Great.

Such great Russian writes as Pushkin, Lermontov and Tolstoy mentioned the joys of sauna in their works as well.

HAMMAN: TURKISH SAUNA

The layout of the rooms in Turkish sauna resembles a hand. The sauna vestibule with heated floor and stone benches is the ‘palm’, and the niches where benches of various temperatures are located are the ‘fingers’. Patrons do not go into Turkish sauna naked, but wrap a towel around their hips and wear wooden clogs because the floor is hot.

In Turkish sauna you are supposed to lie face down on the hot marble bench covered with a towel. When sweating has started, the massage can begin, after which several buckets of cold water are poured over the patron and he or she can go to the pool.

FINNISH SAUNA

Finnish sauna is characterised by simplicity and traditions that go back several thousand years. The air in the sauna is hot and dry, and short-term moisture is provided by throwing water on hot stones of the stove. The sauna is heated until the temperature has risen to 70–100 degrees, and stepped benches allow various temperatures to be chosen. When a Finnish sauna has been skilfully heated, the steam moisture disperses quickly and is again replaced with dry heat. After each round in the sauna

you can either pour cool water over yourself or go outside and cool down in the fresh air. A Finnish saying goes ‘Better skip dinner than sauna’.

ESTONIAN SAUNA

First written mentions of saunas in this part of the world (namely, the territory of Latvia) are found in Livonian Chronicle of Henry. We come across information about Estonia in the oldest Livonian Rhymed Chronicle (describing the events starting from the second half of the 13th century) in the story about an Estonian farmer harbouring ill will towards a German needle merchant and sending him to the sauna.

Saunas are believed to have existed here thousands of years before, because words similar to Estonian ‘saun’ (‘sauna’) and ‘leili’ (‘steam’) exist in the languages of all Baltic Finns. Estonian sauna is a close relative of Finnish sauna: sweating on the bench is the most important part of the process spiced up with steam and whisking.

The oldest type of sauna in Estonia is a smoke sauna without a chimney. These were generally built at some distance from dwellings, preferably near to a water body. A type common for southern Estonia was a dug-out sauna with its building fully or partially constructed in a hill.

Sauna rituals required that disputes and grudges be locked out. Entering the sauna, people would sing a runic song that went like this: “Tere-tere, saunakene, tere, sauna leilikene” (‘Hello, hello, dear sauna, hello, dear sauna steam’). An Estonian proverb says that going to the sauna is worth a day of sleeping. RM

Kui saun on köetud, lastakse viimane suits välja, tuulutatakse ruum ja saunalised võivad tulla. Õigesti ja korralikult köetud suitsusaunas ei ole vingu ega suitsu, õhk on kerge ja leil ei kõrveta.

SMOKE sauna

The traditional smoke sauna is a sauna without a chimney. The sauna room is equipped with a large stove with a heating stone, which take several hours to heat. In the process, smoke goes into the sauna room and provides more heat in addition to what the stone gives out. When the sauna has been heated, the remaining smoke is let out, the room is ventilated, and people can come in. A smoke sauna that has been heated in the right way has no residual smoke or fumes, the air is easy to breathe, and the steam is not scorching.

AURU saun on nagu nooruse allikas, mõjudes organismile lõdvestavalt ja tervendavalt.

Tänu suurele õhuniiskusele ja kuumusele on aurusaun tõhus paljude tervisehädade puhul.

STEAM sauna

The STEAM sauna with its relaxing and healing effect on the body is a genuine fountain of youth. High moisture content and the heat make the steam sauna very effective in case of numerous health problems. Steam also cleanses the skin, which is the largest organ in the human body. This is the easiest and most comfortable way to remove the toxins that the body has accumulated. Better blood supply and accelerated metabolism improve skin texture, elasticity, tone and complexion.

SOOLA KASULIKKUSEST Kuigi tervisliku toitumise spetsialistid soovitavad soolakogust meie toitudes järjest vähendada, pole kosmeetikas seisukohad siiski nii ühesed. tekst: TIIT EFERT pildid: SHUTTERSTOCK ja TRIIN RAA

K

osmeetikatööstuses leidub võrdselt nii nahka niisutavaid, koorivaid ja rahustavaid, rõhutatult soolavabu tooteid kui ka neid, milles sool on uhkusega lisatud koostisainete nimekirja. Vaatamegi, kas sool iluarsenalis on midagi sellist, mida peab kasutama, või tuleks seda hoopis iga hinna eest vältida. Vastus peitub tegelikult küsimuses, millist kosmeetilist probleemi on tarvis lahendada.

SOOLA MÕJU JUUSTELE

Keegi ei kahtle selles, et sool kuivatab juukseid.

Seda võib tähele panna näiteks pärast puhkust mere ääres, kui juuksed on muutunud rabedamaks ja läiketuks. Merevesi sisaldab ju tegelikult sedasama naatriumkloriidi, mida me kasutame oma toitude maitsestamisel.

24 I RESORTMENU

NaCl

Sool koosneb naatriumist (40%) ja kloorist (60%), millest tuleneb ka soola teaduslik nimetus NaCl ehk naatriumkloriid. Tähtsaim on leelismetalliühend, mida rahvapäraselt tuntakse keedusoola nime all.

Looduses leidub naatriumkloriidi põhiliselt lahustatuna merevees (keskmiselt 2,5%), soolajärvedes (Surnumeres 20%) ning tahke kivisoolana ehk haliidina, mille lademed on tekkinud kunagiste merelahtede või soolajärvede kuivamisel.

Merevee aurustamisel saadakse soolade segu, milles naatriumkloriidi on 77,8%. Keskmine merevee soolasisaldus on 35 g/l.

Ka paljud juuksehooldustooted sisaldavad naatriumkloriidi, mille eesmärk on vedelikku paksendada – soolakogus neis pole siiski eriti suur ega oma seega olulist mõju. Siiski, kui on käsil juukseid sirgendav keratiinihooldus, tuleks soola sattumist juustesse vältida, sest sool vähendab keratiini toimet ja võib rikkuda tulemuse.

Teisest küljest võib soola kuivatavatest omadustest ka kasu olla. Nii on sool näiteks suurepärane vahend peanaha rasususe vähendamiseks ja võitluseks kõõma vastu. Lisage koduse protseduuri käigus supilusikatäis soola pihutäiele šampoonile ja hõõruge see hoolikalt peanahale. Seejärel loputage juuksed korralikult, peske veel kord šampooniga ja kuivatage. Sool aitab üleliigsel rasul imenduda ja avab ummistunud karvanääpsud. Antud moodus on suurepärane lahendus ka juuste hõrenemise all kannatavatele inimestele, sest sageli muutuvad juuksed õhemaks just ummistunud karvanääpsude tõttu. Ummistumisest tekkinud põletik soosib peanahal ka kõõma ja psoriaasi teket.

SOOLA MÕJU NAHALE

Soola mõju nahale on sama mis juustelegi. See kuivatab. Nimetatud omadus teeb aga soolast suurepärase koorija. Oma jämedal, kristalsel kujul

Nii oligi sool sajandeid vaid rikastele kättesaadav luksuskaup. z Keskaegne Tallinn oli tähtis soolakaubanduskeskus – linna on nimetatud ka soolale rajatud linnaks. z Soola on paljud rahvad kasutanud oma usurituaalides, eriti heebrealased, kes tarvitasid seda ka ravimina. Läbi aegade on levinud uskumus, et sool tõrjub kurje vaime ja deemoneid, kes põhjustavad haigusi. z Hiinas vormiti soolakangid, mis märgistati imperaatori pitsatiga ning lasti ringlusse kui valuuta. z 14. sajandil kehtestas Prantsusmaa soolamaksu, mis sundis inimesi ostma igal aastal teatud koguse soola, mille müük oli riigi monopol.

Kolm sajandit hiljem oli sool Suure Prantsuse revolutsiooni üks ajendeid. Maks tühistati 1790. aastal, kuid Napoleon kehtestas selle taas, misjärel see kehtis Prantsusmaal Teise maailmasõja lõpuni. z Kõigile kättesaadavaks muutus sool alles 19. sajandil.

stimuleerib sool naharakkude uuenemist, parandades seeläbi naha väljanägemist. Väga lihtne protseduur on segada peotäis jämedamapoolset soola kvaliteetse õliga – nahale hõõrutuna eemaldavad soolakristallid surnud naharakud, õli aga taastab vajaliku niiskuse.

Kui soovite teha nahale soolahoolitsust, mis samas ka niisutaks, eelistage võimalusel tooteid, mis sisaldavad Surnumere soola. Asudes 430 meetrit allpool Vaikse ookeani pinnast, jääb Surnumeri atmosfäärirõhu ja kõrge temperatuuri unikaalse koosmõju sfääri, tänu millele on järvevee soolal väga tugev tervistav toime. Naatriumi, kaaliumi, magneesiumi, kroomi, seleeni, broomi ja kloori kontsentratsiooni ning paljude mikroelementide sisalduse tõttu on sool erakordse – nii naharakke kui ka kogu inimorganismi taastava – toimega.

Surnumere soolade imettegev mõju on teada juba ammustest aegadest. Kuningas Saalomon ravitses sellega oma hinge ja ihu, Kleopatra ja Seeba kuninganna aga kasutasid soola selleks, et oma juukseid lopsakamaks ja keha nooremaks muuta. Mineraaliderikkal Surnumere soolal on unikaalne võime nahka niisutada, mis teeb sellest suurepärase vahendi võitluses kortsudega. Lisaks on mineraalid põletikuvastase toimega, tänu millele aitab sool leevendada ekseemi, psoriaasi ja isegi aknet. RM

ERINEVAD VÄRVUSED Kuigi meie kööki jõuab sool enamasti kas lumivalgena või hallina, on soola värvigamma võrratult palju laiem. Soolale annavad erinevaid värvivarjundeid merevees leiduvad mineraalid, vetikad või muu floora ja fauna, mis võivad värvida soolakristallid punakaks, roosaks, oranžiks, pruuniks, halliks või koguni kirjuks.

SOOLA LEIDUB z merevees; z soolajärvedes; z iidsete veekogude põhjas; z paljudes leiukohtades kõikidel mandritel (v.a Antarktika). z Soolavarud on piiramatud, seega pole soolapuudust inimkonnal karta.

Advice Although healthy eating specialists recommend lowering our salt intake more and more, opinions are not that unanimous in the cosmetic sphere.

BENEFITS OF

SALT tekst: TIIT EFERT pildid: SHUTTERSTOCK ja TRIIN RAA

The cosmetic industry features an equal amount of pronouncedly salt-free moisturising, peeling and calming products and of those which proudly display salt in their lists of ingredients. Let us review whether salt is something to be used in one’s beauty arsenal or something to be avoided at any cost. The answer actually depends on which cosmetic problem needs treatment.

EFFECT OF SALT ON HAIR

No-one doubts that salt makes hair dry. You can notice this effect, for instance, after a seaside holiday when your hair has become more brittle and lost its lustre. Sea water does indeed contain the same sodium chloride that we use for seasoning our food.

26 I RESORTMENU

NaCl

Salt consists of sodium (40%) and chloride (60%), which is also the origin of the scientific formula for salt, NaCl or sodium chloride. In natural sources, sodium chloride is primarily found diluted in sea water (2.5% on average) and salt lakes (20% in the Dead Sea) or as solid rock salt or halite, its deposits having formed after the drying of sea bays or salt lakes. Vaporization of sea water yields a mixture of salts with sodium chloride content of 77.8%. The average salt content of sea water is 35 g/l.

Numerous haircare products contain sodium chloride as well, and its purpose is to make liquids thicker; still their salt content is not very high and does not have a significant effect. However, when a keratin hair treatment is in progress, the contact of hair with salt should be avoided because salt reduces the effect of keratin and can have an adverse influence on the results.

On the other hand, drying properties of salt can be useful. For example, salt is a perfect component for reducing scalp oiliness and fighting dandruff.

For home treatment, add a tablespoon of salt to a handful of shampoo and rub your scalp with it thoroughly. Then rinse your hair properly, wash it once more with shampoo and dry. Salt absorbs excessive skin oil and opens the hair follicles that have been blocked. This method is also an excellent solution for people suffering from hair thinning because it is often the case that hair becomes thinned due to the blockage of hair follicles. The in-

Salt in history z The first known records of salt production date back to Egypt, Rome and Greece approximately 4000 years BC, and Phoenicians were the first to start gathering salt from the sea. z Salt used to be a valuable means of payment (from Ancient Greece to the Middle Ages) and barter (Roman legion soldiers received a part of their salaries in salt). Salt trade influenced the development of civilization and contributed to the emergence of trade routes. Wars have even been fought over salt. z Salt reserves in the world are not distributed evenly, which is why for centuries salt was a luxury item that only the rich could afford. z Medieval Tallinn was an important salt trade centre, and it was even once called ‘the city built on salt’. z Salt was used in religious rituals by numerous nations, especially Hebrews, who also employed it as a medicine. It has been a widespread belief through ages that salt could repel evil spirits and demons which caused illnesses. z In China, salt was shaped in bars branded with the emperor’s stamp, which were put into circulation as currency. z In the 14th century, France established a salt tax, which made people buy a certain amount of salt per year whereas salt trade was monopolized by the state. Three centuries later, salt tax became one of the triggers of the French Revolution. The tax was abolished in 1790, but it was re-established by Napoleon to remain in force in France until the end of World War II. z It was only in the 19th century that salt became available to everyone.

flammation caused by the blockage can result in dandruff and psoriasis.

EFFECT OF SALT ON THE SKIN

Salt has the same effect on your skin as on hair. It dries the skin, and this feature makes it an excellent peeling agent. In its solid crystal form, salt stimulates skin cell regeneration and thus improves the skin’s appearance. A very simple treatment calls for mixing a handful of coarse salt with high-quality oil: rubbed on the skin, salt crystals will remove dead skin cells, and the oil will restore the necessary level of moisture.

If you would like a salt treatment to be moisturizing as well, try to choose products that contain salt from the Dead Sea. Due to its altitude of 430 metres below the Pacific Ocean level, the Dead Sea is within the unique sphere of the combined influence of atmospheric pressure and high temperature, which is why the salt from the lake has a significant healing effect. Because of the concentration of sodium, potassium, magnesium, chrome, selenium, bromine and chlorine as well as numerous microelements in its composition, this salt has an exceptional restoring effect on skin cells and the human body as such.

The miracle-working influence of Dead Sea salts has been known since ancient times. King Solomon used them to heal his body and soul; Cleopatra and the Queen of Sheba used salt to make their hair fuller and body younger. Dead Sea salt is rich in minerals and has unique skin moisturizing properties, which makes it an excellent component for fighting wrinkles. In addition, the minerals in it have an anti-inflammatory effect, which is why the salt helps alleviate eczema, psoriasis and even acne. RM

DIFFERENT COLOURS Although salt mainly finds its way to our kitchens in its snow-white or greyish variety, salt colour range is much wider. Salt gets its colour from the minerals, algae and other flora and fauna found in sea water, making salt crystals reddish, pink, orange, brown, grey or multi-coloured.

SALT IS FOUND z in sea water; z in salt lakes; z at the bottom of ancient water bodies; z in numerous deposits on all continents (except for Antarctica). z Salt reserves are unlimited, so human race does not have to fear a shortage of salt.

SALT IS PRODUCED z in salt mines; z by freezing and vaporizing natural water

SÄRAVAD

SÕSARAD 5 Sõsara kosmeetikasarja lugu sai alguse Eesti naistest, kes ühendasid oma teadmised, oskused ja kire, et pakkuda koostöös kauni loodusega kosutust nii kehale kui ka hingele. tekst: TIIT EFERT pildid: SÕSAR

013. aastal tuli Piret Laasikule külla lapsepõlvesõbranna Kerttu Lohu koos oma Hiinas turunduspraktikal olnud õe Triin Mägiga. Piret tundis kohalikku looduskosmeetikaturgu väga hästi ja oli enda tarbeks kõiksugu kraami kokku seganud. Seepeale uuriski Triin, et kas Eestis on mõni bränd, mis kasutaks oma toodetes Eesti loodusest pärit tooraineid. Just Eesti looduse puhtus oli see, millest ta oli Hiinas olles puudust tundnud. Lisaks teadis ta, et hiinlased peavad väga lugu Põhjamaade loodustoodetest.

Pireti teada Eestis sellist tegijat tol hetkel ei olnud. Nii tekkiski sõbrannadel idee üheskoos midagi korda saata. „Sõsar tähistab meie jaoks Kerttu ja Triinu sugulussidemeid. Mina olen

Tänapäevased teadmised ja tehnoloogia on ühendatud kodumaiste taimede raviomaduste ja Eesti pärimusmeditsiiniga, kust ammutatakse inspiratsiooni esivanemate tarkusest.

KODUMAINE TOORAINE AITAB TALVE ÜLE ELADA

Maskides, huulepalsamites, kehakoorijates ja seepides on kasutusel Eestimaa puhtast loodusest pärinevad ravimtaimed ja muu tooraine. Kodune maapind pakub nii palju erilist, ja meie kliimas kasvavad taimed omavad justkui võlujõudu, et karm talv üle elada. Sedasama võlujõudu annavadki edasi kosutavad kehahooldusvahendid ja maitsvad taimeteed.

Sõsara missioon on pakkuda puhtaid ja orgaanilisi loodustooteid kõigile, kes on leidnud oma tee mahemaailma. Oma toodetega soovitakse pakkuda rõõmu ja kosutust nii kehale kui ka hingele. Unistuseks on, et kõigi meie lapsed,

TOETUS VÄIKESTELE

Sõsara toodetes kasutatud tooraine pärineb Eestimaa väiketootjatelt ja eelistatud on mahemärgisega tooted. Eesmärk on toetada väikseid kogukondi ja talunikke, et mahepõllumajandus säiliks ning leiaks veelgi suuremat kandepinda.

Toodetes on kasutusel parimad taimed, õlid, rasvad, mesindussaadused ja maavarad, mis on imepärased just oma

HOOLITSUSTEST Hoolitsuste väljatöötamisel lähtusime minu pärimusmeditsiiniõpingute käigus omandatud teadmistest ja ka tooraine kättesaadavusest kohalikul turul.

Kuna ESTONIA Resort Hotel & Spa soovis, et pakutavad hoolitsused oleks võimalikult ehtsad ja eestimaised, siis nii saigi tehtud. Hoolitsustes on kasutatud parimat toorainet, mis on pärit puhtast Eesti loodusest. Lõhnaained ja taimed, mida kasutasime, aitavad luua mõnusa tunde – otsekui hingaksid koos suvise Eestimaaga. Kohaliku tooraine kasutamine paelub nii kohalikku klienti kui ka turisti, sest turistina saad ülemaailmselt tuntud brändide toodangut tarbida kõikjal maailmas.

Midagi nii ainulaadset, kui seda on koostöös ESTONIA Resort Hotel & Spaga loodud tooted, pakutakse ju ainult siin. Rõhk ongi tooraine kvaliteedil. Teeme väikeseid partiisid, tooraine on värske ja pärineb sügavalt maapõuest. Soovime, et iga hoolitsus rahustaks meelt, muudaks naha siidiselt pehmeks ja turgutaks nii külmadel talveilmadel kui ka taastaks nahka pärast suvise päikese paitust.

kosmeetilise toime poolest. Eesti ökosüsteem on sedavõrd hästi säilinud, et siinsed loodussaadused on oma olemuselt mürkainevabad. Lisaks kannab põhjamaine loodus endas energiat, mis kandub edasi ka toodetesse.

Toodete valmistamisel lähtub Sõsara naiskond ka reeglist „vähem on rohkem”, seega ei sisalda tooted lisaaineid, lastes põhitoorainel särada kogu oma headuses. Sõsar eelistab alati kvaliteeti kvantiteedile, isegi kui tooraine hind tuleb selle võrra kõrgem.

TAASKASUTATAVAD PAKENDID

Selleks et muuta keerulist kosmeetika- ja nahahooldustoodete maailma lihtsamaks ja läbipaistvamaks, on iga toote pakendil selgelt välja toodud koostisosade nimekiri ning kasutatava tooraine päritolu ja kosmeetilised omadused.

Pakendeid valides mõtleb Sõsara naiskond sellele, mis on parim nii toodete tarbija tervisele kui ka meid ümbritsevale keskkonnale. Just seetõttu on otsustatud vältida pakendites plastikut. Esiteks võivad plastikpakendis peituvad kemikaalid ja mürkained imenduda toodetesse ja sealt ka tarbija organismi ning teiseks reostab plastik meie kaunist loodust.

Kõik Sõsara pakendid on trükitud Ecoprindis, mille eesmärk on valmistada trükised võimalikult keskkonnasõbralikult. Pakendites kasutatav paber on FSC-sertifikaadiga, tänu millele saab olla kindel, et metsa, kust paberi valmistamiseks puitu saadakse, on majandatud keskkonnasõbralikult ja majanduslikult elujõuliselt ning tööjõudu koheldud õiglasel viisil. Samuti kasutatakse kõiki tootepakendeid ja ka tooraine transpordiks kasutatavaid pakendeid mitmekordselt.

Klaaspakendid on täielikult taaskasutatavatest materjalidest ega sisalda ohtlikke kemikaale, mille kinnituseks omab pakenditootja ka vastavat sertifikaati. Kontrollitud kvaliteediga klaaspakendid on toodetud Euroopas – teisel pool maakera valmistatud pakenditega võrreldes tekitab pakendite transport märgatavalt vähem heitgaase. RM

n 2013 Piret Laasik got a visit from her childhood friend Triin Mägi and her sister Kerttu Lohu, who had been to China for her apprenticeship in marketing. Piret knew the local natural cosmetics market back to front and had mixed various “potions” for personal use, and her friend’s sister asked whether there was a brand in Estonia that used ingredients from the Estonian nature in its products. It had been the purity of Estonian nature that she had missed.

She also added that the Chinese highly valued Nordic natural products.

turers in Estonia, so the idea that they could organize something together was born. “To us, the word ‘sõsar’ means the sisterhood of Kertu and Triin. I am their childhood friend. Moreover, we care about the nature in a sisterly way, and letter ‘õ’ is only found in the Estonian alphabet,” says Piret, explaining the choice of the name.

Thus, a company was established that created natural cosmetics from the best Estonian raw materials, taking the needs of the people living in Northern Europe into consideration. Contemporary know-how is combined with Estonian traditional medicine, which uses the healing properties of local herbs and draws inspiration from the wisdom of ancestors.

LOCAL RAW MATERIALS WILL HELP YOU GET THROUGH THE WINTER

The composition of masks, lip balms, body scrubs and soaps contains herbs and other raw materials derived from pure nature. The soil of our homeland can offer so many unique ingredients, and the plants growing in our climate seem to possess special magic to help one get though the severe winter. This magic is transported through energizing body care products and delicious herbal teas.

Product COOPERATION WITH ESTONIA RESORT HOTEL & SPA Developing the treatments, we used the wealth of knowledge I accumulated during my traditional medicine studies and relied upon the raw materials available on the local market.

As Estonia Resort Hotel & Spa wanted spa treatments to be as authentically Estonian as possible, this was what we did.

The products designed for the treatments come from the pure

Estonian nature and contain only the best raw materials. The fragrances and herbs that are used create a pleasant sensation of breathing in time with summertime Estonia. I believe that the use of local raw materials will attract both local customers and tourists because a tourist can find the products of any world-known brands, but something as unique as what we have created together can only be

experienced here.

The emphasis is on the quality of raw materials. We make small batches, and our raw materials are fresh and come from the depths of the earth. We also want each treatment to calm your mind, make your skin silky smooth, invigorate you in the winter cold and restore the skin after it has been caressed by blazing summer sun.

PIRET LAASIK

Quality is always preferred to quantity even if it makes the raw product more expensive. Our ancestress’ knowledge of healing herbs and traditional medicine are intertwined with modern science and technology.

RECYCLABLE PACKAGING

Sõsar’s mission is to offer pure organic natural products to anyone who has found a path to the world of organic living. The company wants its products to bring joy and nourishment to the body and the soul alike, and it has a dream of our children, grandchildren and their children seeing the beauty of the fresh untouched nature around us.

SUPPORTING SMALL ENTERPRISES

The raw materials used in Sõsar products are supplied by small-scale Estonian producers, and preference is given to products with the organic label. All this provides support to small communities and farmers, so that organic farming would persevere and gain a stronger foothold.

The company uses the best herbs, oils, fats, beekeeping products and mineral resources that have miraculous cosmetic effects. Estonian ecosystem has been preserved so well that local gifts of the nature are essentially free of toxic substances.

In addition to the above, Nordic nature is laden with magic and energy that are also transferred to the products. The main principle is ‘less is more’: the products do not contain additives, which lets the main raw ingredient shine in all its glory.

Kerttu Lohu

To make the complicated world of cosmetic and skincare products simpler and more transparent, packages also display easily understandable lists of ingredients. In addition, the origin of the raw materials used and their cosmetic properties are also stated.

In its selection of product packaging, the sisterhood of Sõsar thinks about what is the best for the consumer’s health and our environment.

This is why they have decided to avoid using plastic in packaging. First, the toxic substances and chemicals that hide in plastic packaging can find their way into the products and then into the consumer’s body, and second, plastic pollutes our beautiful nature.

All of Sõsar’s packaging is even produced by Ecoprint, a company that aims to manufacture printed materials that are as environmentally friendly as possible. FSC-certified paper is used for packaging, which ensures that the forest where the trees used for paper production grow is managed in an environmentally friendly, sustainable and socially fair manner. All the packaging employed for the transportation of the products and raw materials can also be reused several times.

Glass packages are made of recyclable materials and do not contain harmful chemicals, which is proven by the relevant manufacturer’s certificate.

Quality-controlled glass packaging is produced in Europe, so packaging transportation generates a significantly lower amount of exhaust emissions than the transportation of packaging from the other side of the world. RM

undãri puhul on tegu iidsete ajurveda ravitarkuste järgi loodud naha- ja spaahoolitsuste sarjaga, mis on vaba kõigist „paha-ainetest”, nagu parabeenid, mineraalõlid, ftalaadid ning sünteetilised värv- ja lõhnaained.

ENESEOTSINGUTE MAALT

Sundãri kaubamärgi lõi aastal 1999 supermodell Christy Turlington peale seda, kui ta oli pikemal eneseotsingul Indias ja soovis oma kodumaal edasi kasutada looduslikke ning puhta koostisega ajurveda ravimtaimedega rikastatud tooteid.

Sundãri tähendab sanskriti keelest tõlgituna „kaunis naine”. Sundãri defineerib naise ilu kui kogemust ja püüdlust rahulolu poole, mis väljendub sisemises tasakaalus, enesega rahulolus ning kokkuvõttes ka välises ilus. Sisemine rahulolu ja tasakaal on aga mõisted, mis põhinevad ajurveda elu- ja raviteadusel, millele Sundãri bränd ja tooted tervikuna ongi üles ehitatud.

Ajurveda (sanskriti keeles „teadus elust”; ayu = „elu”, veda = „teadus”) on India veeda kultuurist pärit teadus pikast ja tervislikust elust ning seda peetakse maailma vanimaks tervendamissüsteemiks. Seda rohkem kui 5000 aastat vana hindude rahvameditsiini ja elukunsti praktiseeritakse ka tänapäeval väga laialt üle maailma. Ajurveda on Indias tavameditsiini kõrval täiesti ametlikult aktsepteeritav ravi. Kui tavameditsiin keskendub

peamiselt haiguste ravimisele ja nendega toimetulekule, siis ajurvedas on põhirõhk haiguste ennetamisel ning see annab meile teadmised, kuidas haigusi juba eos vältida ja haigestumise korral tekkepõhjusi kõrvaldada.

Ajurveda kohaselt saad olla terve ainult siis, kui oled iseendaga täielikus kooskõlas, sest tavaliselt järgneb füüsiline haigus rikutud emotsionaalsele tasakaalule. Ajurveda õpetuses tähendab hea tervis aga tasakaalu, kuhu jõudmine toob kaasa sügava rahulolu- ja heaolutunde. Seepärast avaldab ajurveda meie organismile pikaajalist mõju, toetades eesmärki viia hing ja keha tasakaalu ning harmooniasse.

AJURVEDA KEHATÜÜBID EHK DOSHA’D

Ajurveda õpetuses on kesksel kohal veendumus, et meid juhib kolm eluks vajalikku energiat, mida nimetatakse dosha’deks. Dosha on sanskriti sõna, mis koondab endas erinevaid organismi, keha ja vaimu käitumisi. Dosha-kehatüübid jagunevad kolmeks: vata, pitta, kapha. Dosha’t on vahel iseloomustatud kui nähtamatut jõudu, mis vastutab kogu organismi keha, vaimu ja psüühiliste protsesside eest. Kui need eluks vajalikud energiad on tasakaalus, tagavad nad hea tervise ja pika eluea, tasakaalu puudumisel aga toovad kaasa kehva tervise ja haigused.

Ka inimesed jaotatakse dosha-kehatüüpideks vastavalt sellele, millise tüübi omadusi inimeses kõige enam leidub. Dosha’d ehk energeetilised kogumikud annavad meile mentaalsed ja füüsilised omadused. Nii meie iseloom, välimus, emotsionaalne tasakaal kui ka enesetunne ja tervislik seisund on iseloomustatavad kolme dosha abil. Igas inimeses on kõik kolm dosha’t ehk kehatüüpi olemas – mõnda rohkem, teist

vähem. Samuti peab teadma, et dosha’d on pidevas liikumises ja nende omavaheline tasakaal pidevas muutuses. Ideaalses variandis on inimeses kõik need kolm tüüpi tasakaalus, kuid enamasti kipub siiski üks tüüpidest domineerima. Dosha’de tasakaalustamise ja tasakaalu säilitamisega ajurveda tegelebki, pidades oluliseks isiksuse tüübile sobilikku toitumist ning ravivõtete ja elustiili õiget valikut. Kui arvestada elamisel oma isiksuse tüüpi ja hoida see tasakaalus, oleme õnnelikumad ja tervemad.

Vata dosha, milles domineerivad õhu- ja eetrielemendid, vastutab inimese füüsilise ja vaimse liikuvuse eest. Seetõttu ongi inimene, kelles domineerib vata-tüüp, liikuv, kiire ja kergesti vaimustuv. Ta on sageli kõhna kehaehitusega, peente näojoonte, väikese lihasmassi ning kuiva ja enneaegsele vananemisele kalduva nahaga. Vata on loomuselt muudatustele avatud, teravmeelne, kiire mõtlemisega, talle meeldib väga reisida ja ta ei talu rutiini. Tegu on kõige võimsama dosha-tüübiga, mis sageli inimestes domineerib.

Pitta dosha, milles domineerivad tule- ja vee-elemendid, on vastutav organismi muutumise ja omandamise eest. Pitta on reeglina keskmist kasvu, normaalkaalus, õhukeste juuste ja kombineeritud nahatüübiga. Pitta-tüübil on suurepärane seedesüsteem, oma loomuselt on ta enesekindel, analüüsiv, tulemusele orienteeritud, kergesti süttiv ja sihikindlalt tegutsev.

Kapha dosha, milles domineerivad maa- ja vee-elemendid, hindab kokkuhoidmist, lähedust ja täiuslikkust. Ta on loomult rahulik, kannatlik, traditsioone hindav, toetav, suurepärase rutiinitaluvusega ning teeb alati läbimõeldud valikuid.

Kapha on kehaehituselt tugev, suurte soojade silmadega, pehme ja suurepoorilise, sageli rasuse nahatüübiga. Kapha’del on aeglane seedesüsteem, mistõttu nad võivad kergesti kalduda ülekaalulisusele.

undãri is a face and spa care line created on the basis of ancient Ayurvedic knowledge; it does not contain any of such harmful agents as parabens, mineral oils, phthalates, synthetic colorants or synthetic fragrances.

FROM THE LAND OF SELF SEARCHING

The Sundãri brand was established in 1999 by supermodel Christy Turlington after she had spent quite a while in a quest of herself in India and

wanted to keep using the products made of natural and pure components and enriched with Ayurvedic herbs at home. Translated form Sanskrit, Sundãri stands for “Beautiful Woman”. “Sundãri” defines feminine beauty as experience and pursuit of satisfaction expressed by inner balance, selfcontentment and ultimately outer beauty. In their turn, inner balance and contentment are terms originating from the “Ayurveda” science of life and healing, which is the basis of the Sundãri products and the brand as a whole.

Ayurveda (Sanskrit “life-science”, where “ayu” means “life” and “veda” stand for “science”) is the science about long and healthy life with its roots in the Indian Vedic culture, which is also believed to be the oldest healing system in the world. This Hinduistic branch of ethnomedicine and art of life, which is over 5,000 years old, still widely practiced around the world. In India, Ayurveda is an officially

accepted form of treatment alongside conventional medicine. While conventional medicine mainly focuses on treating illnesses and coping with them, Ayurveda emphasises disease prevention and gives us knowledge on how to nip illnesses in the bud and how to eliminate the reason of the illness if it has developed.

According to Ayurveda, you can only be healthy if you are completely in tune with yourself, because physical illness normally results from disturbed emotional balance. Within the Ayurveda system, good health primarily means balance, reaching the sense of wellness and contentment. This is why Ayurveda has a longlasting effect on our bodies, supporting the goal which is to achieve the balance and harmony of the body and the mind.

BODY TYPES OR DOSHAS IN AYURVEDA

The Ayurveda system is centred on the belief that we are driven by three energies necessary for life, which are called doshas. “Dosha” is a Sanskrit word combining different behaviour patterns of both the body and the spirit. Dosha body types fall into three categories: Vata, Pitta, Kapha. Doshas are sometimes described as invisible forces that are responsible for the person’s bodily, spiritual and psychological processes. When these vital energies are in balance, they ensure good health and a long life, but a lack of balance results in poor health and illnesses.

People, too, can be distributed into dosha body types depending on which characteristics are the strongest in the person. Doshas are energy clusters that provide us with mental and physical characteristics. Our character, appearance, emotional balance, well-being and state of health can be described by means of the three doshas. Each person has all three doshas or body types, with some prevailing over others. It should

also be noted that doshas exist in constant movement and their balance keeps changing.

Ideally, all three should be balanced in a person, but in most cases one type tends to dominate.

What Ayurveda deals with is bringing doshas into balance and maintaining it, focusing on the diet, treatment methods and lifestyle suitable for the personality type. Taking our personality type into consideration in lifestyle choices and keeping it in balance will make us happier and healthier.

Vata dosha, dominated by air and etheric elements, is responsible for the person’s physical and spiritual mobility. This is why people with the dominant Vata type are agile, fast and easily amused. They are often slight in build, have delicate face features and low muscle mass, and their skin is prone to early aging. Vata are by nature open to change, witty, quick-minded, like travelling and do not tolerate routine well.

This is the most powerful dosha type which is often dominant in people.

Pitta dosha, dominated by fire and water elements, is responsible for changes in the body and for digestion. As a rule, Pitta people are of average height and weight, with thin hair and mixed skin type. The Pitta type has a perfectly functioning digestive system, and by nature they are confident, analytical, result-oriented, fast to flare up and determined in their actions.

Kapha dosha, dominated by earth and water elements, values frugality, closeness and perfection. Such people are by nature calm, patient and supportive; they value traditions, tolerate routine very well and always make well-considered choices. Kapha people are generally strong in build, with big warm eyes and soft, often oily skin with large pores. Their digestion system is slow, so they tend to be overweight.

You can determine your dosha body type by means of a test consisting of 21 questions. RM

PÄRNU COUNTY!

When you have already found your way to Pärnu, sights both in the city and around it are well worth exploring.

Let us introduce to you Pärnu County’s leisure options as well as its natural wonders.

SOOMAA NATIONAL PARK

The Park is located on the border of Pärnu County and Viljandi County and is the second largest national park in Estonia. Soomaa has bogs that are almost completely untouched by human activity and rivers flowing in their natural beds, and it is truly one of the jewels of Estonian nature.

Soomaa’s unique landscapes, bogs, floodplain meadows, and dunes provide new and surprising experiences every season. Soomaa’s most distinctive feature is what the inhabitants of the local villages usually refer to as the “fifth season”.

According to the villagers, they have the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but also a fifth season of high water.

44 I RESORTMENU

During the floods and high water, most of Soomaa is accessible by canoe, kayak, or dugout, and visitors are able to view areas that can otherwise only be reached in winter when everything is covered in snow and ice. The rivers as well as riverside floodplain meadows and bog forests have retained their natural appearance and pristine form. This means that during the high water, you can glide along a river and see animals and birds that otherwise hide from humans in the depths of the forests or in the shade of trees that line the banks of the rivers.

In springtime, the water level sometimes reaches so high that it carries off large stacks of firewood as well as lighter buildings. Rivers and

floods have influenced the development of several Soomaa traditions. One of the most characteristic of these is the tradition of making dugout canoes; the skills necessary for making dugouts are being passed on to this day. In the past, people began preparing early for the floods that occurred at the beginning of spring. Their preparations included baking several batches of bread, tying stacks of wood to fences, lifting grain containers on top of trestles, and nailing crosswise boards on the floor in order to prevent the rising water from carrying the floors away.

The high water sometimes persisted for as long as a couple of weeks. In Soomaa, even the dwellings were built differently than elsewhere in Estonia – with their front doors towards the river, since that was where all visitors came from and that was the way they went.

THE BEST RACETRACK IN THE NORDICS

auto24ring is the only road racing circuit exclusively used for car and motorcycle racing in Estonia. The complex was reconstructed in 2012 and now competitions can be held on four different race tracks, in terms of length and shape of the track, the longest of which is 3.2 kilometres.

For a very long time, this race circuit was the only road racing circuit in former Soviet Union. Since autumn 2012, auto24ring is the only road racing circuit in Estonia that is fully renovated and meets FIA Grade 4 requirements. It is also one of the newest racing complexes in the entire Northern Europe. In total 4.8 million euros were invested to the asphalt surface and renewed configuration.

Auto24ring has a meandering layout through the curves and straights in total track length of 3.2 kilometres, providing an excellent and safe driving experience for both professionals and beginners. Many of the clients have said that this is the best race circuit in Nordic that’s why we dare to call us in our slogan as “Probably the best race in the Nordic countries.”

46 I RESORTMENU

Car race in probably the best race track in Nordic countries.

One of Nordic miracles of nature is ‘ice roads’ over water bodies to places that can otherwise only be accessed by water or air transport.

Strong ice is able to bear the weight of people when it is 5–8 cm thick; cars require 18-20 cm, and tractors, at least 30 cm of ice. An ice road is officially opened in Estonia when the thickness of ice at any point is over 22 cm, and the ice road that has just settled is considered to be the safest because changeable weather has not yet managed to damage it in any way.

In Estonia, ice roads are marked with juniper trees placed on the ice at about 50–100 metre intervals because foliage trees are bare in the winter and not that well visible on the ice while fir trees and pines cost more. On an official ice road, the thickness of ice next to the junipers has been measured and exceeds the minimum required for opening the traffic. Ice cracks and other hazardous places are marked with two or more junipers. If necessary, wooden bridges are built over larger cracks.

When the temperature is consistently below zero, ice can be made thicker: holes are drilled in it and water is pumped on the ice.

The distance between cars on the ice road must be at least 250 m in order to prevent ice overloading and rear-end collisions because breaking distance on ice is very long. The speed is limited to 70 km/h in order to prevent the breaking distance from lengthening. At the same time, you cannot halt. The speed of 25–40 km/h should be avoided so that resonance is not created and the ice does not break. Traffic on ice roads is only allowed in the daytime. Seatbelts should not be fastened, and car doors are to be opened easily if necessary.

Estonian winters do not allow ice roads to be opened each year. The ice road in Pärnu County is known to have stretched for 12 kilometres to Kihnu Island.

Fitness YOGAFUNC

YogaFunc on ashtanga-joogal põhinev joogatund, mis viiakse läbi muusika saatel. Treening pakub mõnusaid väljakutseid ning arendab lihaseid, koordinatsiooni, painduvust ja tasakaalu.

Kestus: 60 minutit Juhendaja: Mari-Liis Sprenk

PILATES

Pilates on ohutu ja tõhus treening, tänu millele suureneb painduvus, jõud ja kontroll keha üle.

Harjutuste käigus jälgitakse õiget hingamist, keskendumist ning liigutuste sujuvust ja täpsust.

Läbi venituste ja sirutuste vormitakse kaunid pikad lihased. Pilates keskendub keha „jõujaama” – alaselja ning kõhu- ja tuharalihaste – tugevdamisele. Treenitud saavad vaagnapõhjalihased, kõhu süvalihased ja väikesed lülisammast toetavad lihased. Pilatese tehnika õpetab harjutusi sooritama keha jaoks õigetes ja turvalistes asendites, seetõttu saab õpitut rakendada igapäevaelu tegevustes ja ka teistel aladel treenides. Treening sobib east ja soost sõltumata nii taastusravi vajajatele kui ka tippsportlastele.

JOOGA – ASENDID JA VAHENDID

Tunnis õpetame erinevaid joogaasendeid, nendesse minemist ja seal püsimist. Selleks kasutame mitmeid eri vahendeid, nagu plokid, rihmad ja polstrid. Tund ei vaja eelnevat joogakogemust ja sobib kõigile, kes soovivad arendada oma keha ja meelt.

Kestus: 1,5 tundi Juhendaja: Mari-Liis Sprenk

VABATANTS

Vabatantsutunnis viib muusika meid rännakule, aidates meil avastada oma kehalist loovust, vabastada emotsionaalseid pingeid ja laadida end positiivse energiaga. Tund on sobiv kõigile ega eelda varasemat tantsukogemust. Iga tantsija tantsib oma tantsu, kuid tihtipeale tekib ruumis sünergia, mis võimendab vabanemisprotsesse.

Muusika on igas tunnis erinev ja spetsiaalselt juhendaja poolt kokku pandud, luues võimalusi nii ihuliseks kui ka hingeliseks eneseavastamiseks.

Igas plokis suunab juhendaja osalejaid kuulama oma keha ja meeli ning tajuma ümbritsevat rütmide kaudu. Lihtsad ettenäidatud sammud annavad võimaluse orienteeruda erinevate tantsustiilide vahel ning osapoolte koostöös kujuneb tunnist tõeline tantsupidu. Tunni eesmärk on viia osalejad reaalsest maailmast tantsu- ja muusikarütmide maailma, eemale olmest ja argirutiinist. Sellel teekonnal vabastame keha blokeeringutest, minapildi valehäbist oma liigutuste ees ning meeled muremõtetest.

Kestus: 90 minutit Juhendaja: Kristjan Puusild

BODYBALANCE

Rahuliku muusika saatel toimuv tund koosneb 12 muusikapalast, mille käigus tehakse erinevaid jooga, tai chi ja pilatese tehnikal põhinevaid liikumisharjutusi. Muusika ja harjutuste harmooniline ühendamine korrigeerib rühti, arendab painduvust, tugevdab lihaseid ning parandab koordinatsiooni- ja keskendumisvõimet ning tasakaalu. Lisaks mõjub tund rahustavalt meelele.

Esimene osa põhineb keskmise pulsisagedusega kergetel sammukombinatsioonidel, mille abil arendatakse vastupidavust. Teine osa põhineb funktsionaalsel lihaste tööl – treenitakse just neid lihasegruppe, mida tavaelus enim vaja. Tund lõpeb mõnusa venitusega. Treening sobib ka algajale.

Trenn suurendab aeroobset vastupidavust, parandab koordinatsiooni, põletab hulgaliselt kaloreid ja annab positiivse emotsionaalse laengu, sobides nii algajale tantsusõbrale kui ka edasijõudnule.

FUNKTSIONAALNE RINGTREENING

Tunnine väljakutse lihastele raju muusika saatel, mis kombineerib vastupidavus- ja jõutreeningu.

Kõigile, kes soovivad vaheldust jõusaalile, kaotamata seejuures jõusaalile omast tunnetust.

Tegu on pigem tiimitöö kui rühmatreeninguga.

BORN TO MOVE

Lasteprogramm pakub tunde viiele eri vanuserühmale. Kõik treeningukavad on loodud põhjalike uuringute alusel ja eri vanuses laste arengufaase arvesse võttes. Tundide põhiidee on pakkuda lastele innustavat ja motiveerivat treeningut selliselt, et kõik läbiviidavad harjutused on suunatud just antud vanuserühmale.

YOGA NIDRA

Füüsiline, vaimne ja emotsionaalne süvalõdvestus parandab mälu, loovust ja keskendumisvõimet ning mõjub rahustavalt närvisüsteemile. Yoga nidra ehk joogalik puhkus on sügava lõdvestumise tehnika, mis õpetab efektiivselt puhkama – tund sellist lõdvestust võrdub nelja tunni unega. Tunnis lamatakse mõnusal soojal matil, järgides juhendaja juttu, kelle abil jõutakse kiiresti sügava unega sarnanevasse lõdvestusse, säilitades samas teadvustamisvõime. Juba esimese korraga saab tunnis osaleja aru yoga nidra mõnusast sügavast mõjust nii kehale kui ka meelele.

Kestus: 45 minutit Juhendaja: Mari-Liis Sprenk

VINYASA FLOW JOOGA

Ashtanga-jooga liigutustel põhinev freestyle-jooga meenutab veidi joogatantsu, sest asendid vahelduvad loominguliselt ja voolavalt. Dünaamiline liikumine annab osalejale vabaduse ja väga hea füüsilise koormuse. Suur rõhk on tunnis hingamisel.

Kestus: 75 minutit Juhendaja: Mari-Liis Sprenk

HATHA-JOOGA

Terviklik enesearenduse õpetus, mis ei keskendu vaid asana’de täpsele sooritusele, vaid hõlmab ka hingamist, energiate liikumist, meele rahustamist ja üldise tasakaalu saavutamist. Tund kulgeb rahulikus tempos – tehakse nii dünaamilisi kui ka staatilisi harjutusi, mis on üles ehitatud pehmelt, läbi venituse ja pingutuse, ning vastukaaluks igapäevategevuste füüsilisele ja vaimsele pingele pööratakse tähelepanu ka lõdvestumisele. Tund lõpeb hingamisharjutustega ning mõnusa, keha ja meelt taastava lõdvestusega.

Conference centre

ROUTINE BREAKERS

The conference centre of ESTONIA Resort Hotel & Spa provides a variety of exciting options for the organization of training courses, conferences and other events for groups of different sizes.

T

he largest hall hosts up to 300 people. The broad doors of the hall on the ground floor open into the conference centre and into the patio, which allows receptions, car and motorbike presentations or fairs to be held in this room in addition to large-scale parties or seminars. The large hall is equipped with four interpreter booths that are essential for holding international events.

Four smaller conference rooms host up to 48 participants. All rooms are air-conditioned and fitted with modern technological solutions; they have large windows that provide natural daylight.

In addition, the conference centre features a club room with a fully equipped kitchen, which is perfect for the organization of food-related workshops, cooking events or cooking demonstrations for small groups. The chief administrator of the conference centre will make sure your events flow smoothly, preparing the rooms, instructing you in the use of the equipment and ensuring efficient information exchange within the building.

For small-scale meetings and parties, we recommend our JUNIPER club holding up to 16 participants. The function room with a terrace and a private sauna has a direct entrance to the

Artists can perform on the stage in the middle of the pool hotel SPA & SAUNA centre, where you can organize an exciting pool party while artists can perform on the stage in the middle of the pool.

Make sure you do not miss the WHISK sauna in the spa either. It features sauna rituals that will help you get rid of worries and cleanse your body and spirit. The SPA & SAUNA centre also contains a smoke sauna, which has become rather a rarity in Estonia, but to understand how the

SMOKE sauna in ESTONIA Resort Hotel & Spa differs from the traditional smoke sauna, you will have to see it for yourself.

For seminar participants, we have ‘energizing passes’ designed especially for long days of conferences. During the fifteen-minute energizing break called the Pilates Break, our active spa trainer will teach you to relax alongside intensive work. This break will have a restoring effect on the shoulder area, the spine and also on mental activity. It is a healthy addition to the coffee break, making an intensive day enjoyable and improving productivity in the seminar.

After the end of seminar activities, you can take part in group training classes or experience ancient Estonian massage. We have created opportunities for our clients to take conscious care of their health, body and mind balance.

Cooperation will become even more efficient if you take colleagues or business partners out to play golf or for an adrenaline-inducing ride on the racing track after a seminar or on the following day.

ESTONIA Resort Hotel & Spa draws inspiration from Estonian nature as well as national traditions, handicraft and culture. The menu of the NOOT a la carte restaurant is inspired by modern Estonian cuisine, and the menu selection made by chef Rudolf Visnapuu includes local ingredients and seasonal produce from the sea.

The restaurant can accommodate up to 250 guests, and a 60-seat terrace is open in the summer. At tea and coffee breaks, we can offer a classical selection as well as organic products made from Estonian ingredients. RM
