When it comes to experiencing ultimate relaxation, traditional saunas have long been cherished as iconic sanctuaries of wellness across Europe and North America. These oasis of warmth and tranquility offer an unmatched experience, bringing a timeless touch of luxury and well-being to your life.

What Is a Traditional Sauna?

A traditional sauna, also known as a dry sauna, is a wooden room designed to create a controlled environment of elevated temperature and low humidity. The heart of a traditional sauna involves the ritual of pouring water over heating rocks, which generates comforting steam and is typically heated between 158°F and 230°F. 

The result? A dry, enveloping heat that not only soothes the body but also calms the mind. As you step inside, you're greeted by tiered benches to offer a comfortable and inviting space to unwind, socialize, and even practice mindfulness. How many people you can fit inside depends on the size of the sauna. Still, most traditional outdoor saunas can comfortably accommodate four people.

History of Saunas

Dry Saunas have a long history in Finland, with their origins tracing back to around 7000 BC. However, specific records from that era are scarce. The word "sauna" itself is of Finnish origin. While public baths were present in Europe during the same period, public sauna practices in Finland weren't well-documented for most of their history.

During the 1500s, the popularity of Finnish sauna types expanded beyond Finland as European bathhouses were demolished. The sauna's enduring appeal was due to its versatility. It was used for various purposes, from daily living and dining to maintaining hygiene. It was also used to provide a sterile environment for childbirth. 

An abundance of wood resources made sauna construction and heating easy, and in harsh climates, saunas provided essential warmth and comfort, both in summer and winter.

Benefits of a Traditional Sauna

Traditional saunas deliver a host of tangible health benefits. Their dry, soothing heat promotes relaxation and improves circulation. They foster a profound sense of tranquility, ultimately reducing stress and relieving muscle tension, while contributing to healthier skin.

Furthermore, the deep sweat experienced in saunas effectively purges toxins from the body, supporting detoxification and enhancing overall well-being. In essence, traditional saunas provide a practical and comprehensive approach to improving one's quality of life by combining relaxation, stress reduction, and detoxification benefits.
