The practice of taking a sauna started in Finland as a way to cleanse the body of impurities and relax the mind. This tradition began before taking a bath was common practice to keep good hygiene. It was common for the sauna to be built prior the house was built on new property. This was done because you could use a sauna to live in before the house built. A sauna is basically a sterile environment. The original saunas were designed with a fire pit. The fire pit would heat the room along with the rocks the smoke would fill the room until it got up to temperature than fresh air was let in.

What makes a sauna a Finnish sauna is the heater that is used, though many people believe that there are several different types of saunas the only real saunas are the ones that only use wood fired heaters unlike wording to describe the differences between the other saunas in use today. The average temperature is around 150 degrees to 200 degrees.

Wood is burned to heat stones that sit on top. Once the stones are thought to be warm enough the fire is put out and the sauna is cleared of smoke and water is dripped over the stones to release the steam. The steam is the spiritual part of the sauna. A basic RSS feed for comments on this post
