What is the confusion over steam bath, sauna and Jacuzzi. Saunas have existed for thousands of years, but for many people, they are a new phenomenon. The sauna craze has overtaken the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa, with millions of people discovering the health and social benefits of regular sauna baths. Sauna The sauna is an integral part of Finnish and Swedish culure. Most homes have a sauna and most people use the sauna several times a week. These saunas generate a dry heat between 70 and 100 degrees Celsius. From time to time water is thrown on heated stones to produce a thick cloud of steam that makes the sauna feel hotter. After spending about 10 to 30 minutes in the sauna most people take a cold shower or swim in the lake. During winter, some people even roll in the snow. Finnish and Swedish saunas are social affairs and may include family members, friends or business associates. They are always taken in the nude. Whether or not men and women take a sauna together depends on their relationships and to some extent, their age. Public saunas however are usually single-sex. |
