Tips

For a Perfect Sauna Experience

Sauna is a special ritual in Finland. A good sauna temperature is usually around 80–90 °C.

• Have several steam sessions. Enjoy the smells of fresh birch and natural tar, lie in the calming peace and darkness on the wooden benches, close your eyes and feel how the stress goes away.

• Whenever you feel like adding more steam ”löyly”, just throw some water on the hot stove stones.

• Gently whip yourself with a bundle of fresh birch twigs “vihta”. Birch oils leave your skin smooth and clean.

• You can stay in the sauna as long as it feels comfortable for you. Make breaks to step out to the terrace to cool down or to go swimming in the clean waters of the lake.

• Drink plenty of water. Sweating in a sauna helps to get rid of the toxins and stress. Water is probably best for you, but beer and cider is what Finns enjoy the most.

• In winter time it is fantastic to have a dip in icy lake or to roll in the snow. It improves blood circulation.
