What is Finnish sauna?
The sauna originates from Finland, where it is a real institution. The sauna is indeed considered a place of purification, from a physical point of view and also from a mental point of view. It is almost a place of meditation and relaxation for the Finns, the ideal place to release pressure and forget the worries of everyday life.
The sauna consists of a wooden cabin, where the temperature can reach up to 130°C. Don't panic, there is no risk of being burned by contact with the walls or the backrests, which are also entirely made of raw wood.
Airtight surfaces prevent any passage of hot or cold air and help create a soothing and soft atmosphere.
There are several types of sauna on the market: the smoke sauna , which is the traditional sauna without a chimney, where the wood is burned in an oven and the smoke is then evacuated; the wood-fired sauna with a chimney , which is very romantic and requires less preparation than the smoke sauna ; and finally, the electric sauna , which does not require prior preparation and is ideal for everyday use.
What are the benefits of the Finnish sauna?
The dry heat of the sauna provides benefits appreciated for eliminating accumulated tensions, whether they are related to stress or fatigue. The sauna therefore allows you to relax. Another benefit is that of detoxification: the sauna , by its heat, encourages perspiration and the evacuation of toxins, impurities, as well as bad fats from the body.
The sauna is particularly ideal after a sports session: if you suffer from muscle aches, the heat of the sauna followed by the cooling will stimulate blood circulation.
The Finns know this well: they don't hesitate to roll around in the snow or dive into the icy waters after the sauna to enjoy a guaranteed and beneficial boost.
