Saunas add the finishing touch to your hydrotherapy session, facial, or massage. Step into the sauna and make your spa visit complete.
Saunas in the spa setting are typically closed-in steam rooms or small separate buildings designed as places in which clients can experience wet or dry heat sessions in a highly humid atmosphere. In the home setting, saunas are generally designed as small rooms with a dedicated heat source.
The heat source in saunas varies and may include woodstoves or fireplaces with chimneys or electrical or infra-red sources of heat. The steam, which permeates through saunas and makes the heat tolerable, is provided by moistened, heated stones or other sources of moist heat. Wooden benches are provided for sauna visitors to sit on and relax. Because heat rises, higher benches are provided for a more intense sauna experience, whereas low benches are provided for those desiring a less intense sauna. The heat in saunas usually ranges from 75 to 110 degrees Centigrade or from 160-200 degrees Fahrenheit.
The History of Saunas
Saunas were first introduced in the 8th century by the Finns in the form of the smoke sauna or savusauna. The early smoke saunas, which were located adjacent to bathing areas, were outdoor pits or small houses without chimneys heated by a pile of hot rocks. Smoke saunas are not used when a fire is burning under the rocks. Instead, the sauna room is prepared for use. After the fire is put out, the room is freshened and ash and embers are removed from the hearth. Because the stones retain heat, and moistened hot stones provide humidity, traditional smoke saunas provide hours of relaxation. Later Finnish smoke saunas used chimneys and lidded heat storage stoves with stone compartments as a means to reduce smoke.
Health Benefits
The moist heat in saunas induces relaxation and sweating, relieves congestion, and reduces arthritic pain. Saunas are particularly beneficial for patients with respiratory conditions including asthma and bronchitis. In patients with arthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome, saunas are reported to increase joint mobility and reduce pain and inflammation.
In therapeutic saunas, hot and cold heat may be alternated according to specific regimens designed for specific chronic conditions. These sessions should only be used under the direction of a physician, physical therapist or other health professional.
