FINNISH SAUNA

Finns love sauna, it can be visited any time, every day or once a week, very often at the week-end. The temperature may vary for instance
between 60 and 100 grades Celsius,the sauna hat is used by some persons like me to prevent migraine after sauna!
The scoop is needed for throwing water on the sauna oven which adds both heat and air humidity. The bath whisk is usually made of birch branches,
for the winter use the whisks are deep-freezed or dried. What do we do with the bath whisk?
Believe it or not, we beat ourselves with it, everywhere, thus stimulating the circulation! Nothing is better after a hot summer day than a hot sauna bath..:)

Yes, we have saunas at up-scale spas in the US. It's not my thing, but my husband loves it. Once I show him this, he will want to hop on a plane. Thanks a lot, Ceya:)) Great information and wonderful image, stunning light. What kind of leaves? V

Sin duda la sauna provoca una estimulación muy sana de la circulación .. -V-
