Sauna

Saunas have long been used for their rejuvenating and therapeutic benefits. Found in many public facilities and available in home models, the modern sauna is as popular as ever.

A sauna, also called a sweathouse or sudatory, is a small room that is thermally controlled to be exceptionally hot. These can be found at most public sports complexes accompanying swimming pools and gyms.

Evidence shows that the Finns built the first saunas over 2000 years ago using wooden logs and rocks over a smoldering fire. Today, public saunas are widely used around the world as a place to relax and refresh.

Under most circumstances, saunas are kept at temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Celsius. The heat and humidity cause the bather to expire, flushing the body of toxins and impurities. Even more beneficial, sitting in a sauna for even a short session increases circulation and helps transport essential nutrients to the skin.
