The Sauna - Stimulating and Relaxing

O Hanninen

The sauna - a hot air bath - is a centuries old cultural tradition in Finland and is now spreading to fitness centers and private homes around the world. The exposure to hot air at 70-100° C and low humidity for 10-20 minutes causes skin temperature to rise, resulting in heavy sweating and other physiological changes. A major reason for the sauna's continuing popularity is that it leaves the bather with a pleasant feeling of deep relaxation.
