A Finnish sauna is a small room designed for heat sessions, traditionally made of wood. It uses a stove to heat stones, which radiate warmth, creating a relaxing environment. The temperature typically ranges from 70°C to 100°C (158°F to 212°F). People often pour water over the hot stones to produce steam, increasing humidity and enhancing the experience. Saunas are an essential part of Finnish culture, promoting relaxation and social interaction. They are often used for health benefits, such as improved circulation and stress relief. Many Finnish homes have a sauna, reflecting its importance in daily life and well-being.
