How to Enjoy a Sauna


Introduction

Are you looking for radiant skin and improved health? Embracing the tradition of sauna can lead to these benefits through detoxification. Discover how to enjoy the Finnish style of steam sauna and explore modern, natural methods.

Understanding Sauna Basics


With the rise of infrared and steam saunas, it’s important to know how to use them effectively. The Finns have mastered this art, with about one in five residents owning a sauna. Before starting a sauna routine, consult with your healthcare practitioner. Remember, millions of Finns benefit from saunas without adverse effects when used correctly.

Traditional Finnish Sauna Steps


1. Preparation

Before entering the sauna, completely disrobe and remove all jewelry to avoid burns. Contact lenses, glasses, and dental plates should also be taken out. While kick-off sandals are common, traditionally, a bowl of water was used to clean feet upon entry.

2. Hikoilu ?" The Dry Heat

Find a bench, with higher benches being hotter. This stage involves a dry heat and is a time of silence, lasting about 10 to 20 minutes, allowing the body and mind to refresh.

3. Vilvoittelu ?" Cooling Down

Once you've worked up a sweat, step out for a cooling session. This can involve a swim, cold shower, or simply sitting in cool air. Wait until your heartbeat normalizes before returning to the heat. Drinking water or fruit juice can help rehydrate.

4. Vihtominen Loylyssa ?" Second Heat Session

During this session, traditionally, birch twigs soaked in warm water are used to gently tap the body, releasing oils and opening pores. Nowadays, dry brushing before entering can prep the skin. After about 10 minutes, cool down again.

5. Peseytyminen ?" Scrubbing

Take a bucket of cold water, soap, and a scrubbing brush back into the sauna. Traditionally, people helped scrub each other’s backs.

6. Huuhtelu ?" Intense Cooling

Engage in a longer cooling session with a swim or cold shower to refresh the body thoroughly.

7. Jälkilämmittely ?" Final Warm-Up

Finish with a short sauna session followed by a quick cold plunge or shower. Always end with cold to invigorate the body.

8. Jäähtyminen ja Kuivattelu ?" Relaxing Air Bath

Allow your body to cool naturally in the air. Only dry your hair and neck. Let your body adjust naturally to the ambient temperature.

Modern Sauna Options


Saunas go beyond simple steam baths. The use of water ensures the air doesn’t dry out your eyes or mucous membranes. It's a matter of personal preference. In northern Finland, enduring hot steam was considered a feat of pride.

While traditional saunas may seem outdated, the core principle of cleansing and rejuvenation remains relevant. Portable steam saunas and far infrared models are modern alternatives offering similar benefits. These saunas penetrate deeply, aiding detoxification effectively.
