The tradition of saunas, according to the latest archaeological research, dates back to the Scythians, who had heated baths in the tents. Then ancient Rome, where in the hot rooms called caldarium were bathed. Further leads us to the Indians, who in their huts (pots of sweat) dug down the pit to which the heated stones were put, also leads to a Turkish steam bath called hammam, which is the direct successor of the Roman baths. To the Slavs, who served the wooden saunas called the bulbs, up to the Finns, who had cavities hollowed out in the ground, but in every obligatory in the middle was a stove in which stones were heated. Thanks to that, the room was warm. In order to increase the perceptible heat, water was poured on the stones or snow was poured.

It's a way of life, rest, regeneration, and the Finns say it's also the cleansing of the body and soul. Regular use of the sauna not only provides beautiful skin, but cleanses the body of toxins, effectively reduces muscle pain, joints as well as daily stress and fatigue. It improves circulation, immunity, regenerates the skin, restores physical and mental health.

Types of saunas:

Not everyone knows that you can use two types of saunas.

First, it's a steam room

Sometimes referred to as the wet, turkish or Roman sauna, In the steam bath the temperature is 35-55oC and the humidity reaches 100%. This is a room finished with ceramics, glass or plastic, Steam generator, which is placed in a separate room (so-called), Through the nozzles blows steam inside to heat up the bath. This type of sauna requires special technical and construction conditions.

The second type of sauna is dry sauna (Finnish)

In the Finnish sauna there is a high temperature and very low humidity. Today's saunas are wooden outdoor spaces or houses built of wood in which an electric or wood burning stove heats the sauna to 80-110 ° C.

Each furnace has stones that heat up giving heat to the sauna. Skilfully pouring heated stones will cause steam to temporarily increase the humidity in the sauna (at the temperature of the sauna about 100 ° C, pouring water on the stones will give about 20% of humidity) giving a feeling of greater heat.

Saunas are guided by a simple rule:

The higher the temperature, the lower the humidity.
The higher the humidity, the lower the temperature.
