DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION OF SAUNA

The History of Sauna

SAUNA, correctly pronounced "sow (rhymes with wowl) nah," is the only Finnish word in the English dictionary; it means "bath" and "bathhouse". Sauna has been a way of life in Finland, where it was invented, for over 2000 years. One of the first written descriptions of the Finnish Sauna was 1112. The earliest Sauna was dug into an embankment in the ground. Later Saunas were built above ground with wooden logs. The rocks were heated in a stone stove with a wood fire until the rocks were super hot. This room did not have a chimney but a small air vent in the back wall. The smoke was allowed to fill the room while it was heating. It was a half-day process to heat this type of room. When the Sauna reached temperature, the bathers entered after

the smoke cleared. The walls and ceiling would become dark black. This original Sauna was called "savu" (Finnish for smoke) Sauna. The name Sauna it thought to be a derivative of the word savuna, literally " in smoke". The Sauna later evolved to the typical metal woodstove heater with chimney. Wherever Finns traveled they brought their Sauna culture with them. It was first brought to America by Finns who settled in the current state of Delaware in 1638. Modern day life and electricity evolved the Sauna again. Saunas became more accessible in the U.S. After the electric Sauna stove was developed in the 1950s. Some Americans that lived near Scandinavian communities may have been lucky enough to discover Saunas early on. After 360 years in U.S. , the Sauna has became an established tradition for many Americans as it has been for the Finns.

After testing the Sauna also many Turks with their own tradition of türkish bath prefer the Sauna after testing it. So today if you like to have your own Sauna in your home we have professional personal to contruct to you the best by you requested Sauna..

Adds value and luxury to your home
A Sauna is an affordable amenity that adds monetary value to your home. Plus, with its relaxation and health benefits, the Sauna is a sanctuary that creates value for your whole family.

SAUNA BENEFITS

Soothes and relaxes tired muscles
Athletes use Saunas to improve their range of motion and to help loosen tight muscles after a hard workout.

Helps to relieve mental fatigue
When your body is relaxed your mind feels better and you feel better. The Sauna promotes a wonderful sense

of well being.

Relieves tension and stress
You will feel rejuvenated and have increased energy levels. The Sauna helps many get a more restful sleep.

Provides a cardiovascular workout--helps condition the heart
Finnish researchers have reported that the regular use of Saunas helps maintain the blood vessels. Vessels become elastic and pliable longer due to regular dilation and contraction from the process of heating and cooling the body repeatedly. The heart rate increases in the Sauna creating a demand for more oxygen, which in turn burns calories and provides a mild workout for the heart.

Increases metabolic rate
Regular Sauna usage helps speed up the metabolism in a way similar to exercise.

Improves circulation
Blood vessel dilation brings blood closer to the surface of the skin and, as blood vessels expand to accommodate increased

blood flow, circulation in the extremities improves.

Provides temporary relief for arthritic pain
Heat therapy benefits joint and muscle pain and helps with range of motion.

Promotes healing and releases natural pain killers
Beta Endorphins and Norepinephrines are released as the body’s natural pain killers temporarily raise the body’s pain threshold.

Increases resistance to illness
The Finnish Medical Society, Duodecim, has conducted tests that show a 30% less chance of getting a cold when Saunas are taken regularly. Saunas have even been shown to help in preventing a cold from getting worse. Sauna heat puts the body into

and artificial fever state (hyperthermia). Fever is part of the body’s natural healing process. This “fake fever” stimulates the im-mune system resulting in an increased production of disease fighting white blood cells and antibodies.

Burn as many as 300 calories during a Sauna session
The Sauna should not, of course, be used as a weight loss aid by itself, but when used with a good diet and exercise program,

a Sauna can help burn more calories. Weight is lost in a Sauna, but most of it is water loss from sweating.

Helps maintain clear, healthy skin
Increased blood flow promotes cellular growth and development by bringing important nutrients to subcutaneous and surface tissue. While taking a Sauna, blood flow to the skin increases to as high as 50-70% of cardiac output (normal is 5-10%). Sauna heat relaxes facial tension, skin pores are opened, and heat stimulates the epidermis, thus increasing circulation. Vasodilation (expansion of blood vessels) brings essential fluids to the surface, enhancing collagen production, to maintain skin elasticity and a wrinkle-free complexion.

Sweat out toxins and impurities from the body
Sauna is the deepest cleaning bath in the world. Perspiration induced by a Sauna opens the body’s pores and naturally expels impurities and toxins from the body. There are many detoxification programs that use the Sauna daily to rid the body of chemicals. The Sauna has been used to sweat out nicotine, pesticides, and other toxins. Skin is the largest organ of the body and 30% of body wastes exit through the skin. The Sauna elevates the body’s ability to rid itself of this waste.

Relieves allergies and sinus congestion
Steam inhalation is excellent for relieving throat irritations and helping the inflammation of upper respiratory mucous membranes. Sauna steam loosens secretions and can stimulate discharge of mucous from the lungs and throat.

Reduces pain from sunburn
Heat from the Sauna soothes sunburned skin as blood rushes to the surface to aid in healing.

Helps with kidney function
Sauna bathing can augment proper kidney function. Perspiration through the skin’s pores excretes a good amount of the body’s wastes and reduces the load put on the kidneys. Sweating is such an effective detoxifier that some doctors recommend Sauna usage to supplement persons on kidney dialysis.

Requires little maintenance
Saunas are only on when being used, unlike spas and hot tubs. Sauna heaters have very few moving parts so there is less chance of anything breaking. The only maintenance involved is periodically cleaning the floor.

How to enjoy a Sauna

When planning to take a Sauna, allow yourself plenty of time to relax. Turn on your Finlandia Sauna heater at least one half-hour before you enter the room (unless you have the Ever Ready heater which has instant heat). This

will give enough time to heat the room to the proper Sauna bathing temperature (Average temperatures range from 175° F to 195° F). Take your Sauna in the nude. Shed your worries as you shed your clothes and let the relaxing Sauna aura surround you. Allow your body time to adjust to the high heat. Sit or lie on a towel on the top bench for the best heat. You may sit on the lower bench for cooler temperatures. As desired, pour 1 to 2 ladles full of water over the hot Sauna stones to produce steam, which will aid in perspiration. After 10-20 minutes, or when you feel ready, exit the Sauna and cool down by taking a shower or plunging into a refreshing pool or lake. Rest for a while in the cooling room or area. Ideally, it is nice to have a dressing room and shower next to or near your Sauna. You should spend about as much time cooling down as you have spent in the Sauna. Re-enter the Sauna and repeat the process as desired. Finish with a final shower. Then, relax with your favorite beverage and enjoy that wonderful after-Sauna feeling.
