Saunas have long been celebrated for their numerous health benefits, relaxation properties, and social significance, but not all saunas are created equal. There are several different types of saunas, each offering unique experiences and benefits.
Traditional Finnish Saunas
They are heated with wood-burning and electric stoves, providing a high-temperature environment (typically between 65°C and 90°C) with low humidity. Users can enjoy the experience of adding water to heated stones, producing steam and elevating the humidity to create a more intense heat experience.
Infrared Saunas
These saunas use infrared heaters to emit light that is absorbed by the skin, producing heat at a lower temperature (usually 45°C to 60°C). This type of sauna allows users to sweat profusely while staying comfortable at lower temperatures, making it a popular choice for those who may find traditional saunas too intense.
Steam Rooms
Steam room focuses on humidity rather than dry heat; steam rooms are typically set at lower temperatures but provide a higher humidity level, making the air feel heavier and allowing for a different kind of soothing experience.
Portable Saunas
Additionally, there are portable saunas, which can be set up in homes for a more personal experience. These are often small structures that can be heated and used almost anywhere.
Salt Sauna
Lastly, there’s the novel concept of a salt sauna, which incorporates Himalayan salt bricks into the design, creating an environment that promotes respiratory health while harnessing the sauna experience.
