By: Jill Johnson

The discovery of steam bath was first in Finland. Moreover steam bathing is a tradition as Finns consider saunas not as a treat but as a vital part of their culture.

Finns have been using saunas for generations. Nearly all the homes in Finland are equipped with built-in saunas.

Though saunas have varied impressions among people in different parts of the world, in recent times they have become very popular because of their advantages. Apart from stress reduction and relaxation, people now know the other benefits that saunas present.

An orthodox Finnish sauna gives exhaustive purification to the body. It is also deemed to be the best natural treatment for the skin. It not only cleanses but also regenerates the activity of the skin from inside out.

Moreover, Finnish sauna is a good work-out for your cardiovascular system. It is also an immune system developer and provides refreshment for the mind.

What is a traditional Finnish sauna? It is basically a hot air bath that takes place in a warm environment with low humidity. Many people find that they sweat excessively while bathing. You may find that you have to use a sauna regularly for 2 to 6 weeks to become accustomed to the relaxing process of dry heat bathing.

In a sauna the lighting is shady and the people usually prefer to sit in the sauna in silence and relaxed mood. The temperature is kept between 80?C and 110?C for the hot air bathing.

Furthermore, it is a common practice among sauna bathers to make a vihta, which means that they bind together fresh birch branches with leaves and belt themselves and their fellow sauna bathers with it. It is believed that usage of vihta improves blood circulation and also it has pleasing birch odor which helps in relaxation.

However, there are some precautions that you need to keep in mind. The traditional hot temperature leads to increase in cardiovascular activity. Thus, for this reason dry saunas are not recommended for people who suffer from heart disease or other cardiovascular ailments.

In addition, it is advisable for the people with high blood pressure to consult their doctor before they decide to take the dry sauna bath. The hot dry sauna is also not recommended for elderly, pregnant women and small children.

You have to be careful if you have been working out; your body must be cool before it is exposed to the hot temperature of the sauna bath. These precautions ensure the requisite effects of sauna bath.

The said benefits of the Finnish sauna are authentic, emotional and physical. Post sauna experience makes you feel and look better. Your body becomes more efficient and you will be relaxed.
