The History

The tradition of sauna bathing dates back thousands of years, with its roots deeply embedded in various cultures across the world. The word "sauna" itself comes from Finland, where the practice has been a cornerstone of daily life for centuries. In Finland, saunas were initially small, wooden huts where stones were heated to high temperatures, and water was thrown over them to create steam, promoting relaxation, detoxification, and social bonding.

However, the concept of heat therapy is not unique to Finland. Ancient Romans had their own version of saunas known as *thermae*—public bathhouses that were central to Roman social life and hygiene practices. Similarly, the Native American sweat lodge was a place of spiritual and physical cleansing.

Over time, the sauna evolved from these ancient roots, with various cultures developing their own interpretations of heat therapy.
Today, saunas are enjoyed worldwide for their health benefits, ranging from improved circulation and detoxification to stress relief and enhanced recovery. Modern innovations like infrared saunas have further expanded the appeal and accessibility of this ancient practice, blending tradition with technology to meet the needs of contemporary wellness seekers.
