WHY SAUNA?

Bathing culture and heat therapy have been used for thousands of years throughout many

cultures. A few examples include, the Finnish Sauna, Roman Baths, Japanese Onsen, Indigenous Sweat Lodge, Turkish Hammams, etc. In Finland, a population of 5.5 million people, an estimated 3 million saunas exist. Roughly 90% of Finns go to a sauna once a week.*

 

This isn't a new age health hack. Sauna is a ritual. Saunas in Finland are not just for bathing. They are central to social life and have played a role in spiritual and healing ritual. We love sauna for how it makes us feel, the connection to ourselves and others, and the tradition with our family. Modern day science has caught up to what people have feeling for thousands of years. Heat therapy/sauna is good for you!

 

The sauna is a source of wellbeing. A space where the mind and body can relax and become cleansed. In our busy modern world, sauna helps you shake off everyday to-do lists and worries, significantly reducing stress, improving sleep quality, and promoting holistic health.*
