Sauna

Sauna is an indispensable part of every spa with its unique spa units such as Finnish saunas and Russian steam rooms in the spa tradition. Initially known only within the borders of Finland, saunas have gradually become an essential part of the lives of many people worldwide and are now found not only in hotels and sports complexes but also in our homes. Sauna provides a relaxing and rejuvenating space for people.

In the high temperature and low humidity environment of the sauna, a sauna bath causes a 10°C increase in the surface temperature of the skin of the person bathing, and at the same time, the temperature beneath the skin increases by 1°C, which increases the production of antibodies, protects the body against diseases, accelerates blood circulation, and triggers intense sweating in response to prevent the rise in temperature under the skin, allowing the body to eliminate toxins accumulated during sweating, relieving muscle pain by removing lactic acid, and providing the opportunity to have fresh, smooth skin by eliminating dead cells.

There are many modifications and versions of saunas. For example; Finnish saunas, Bio saunas, Russian saunas, and Outdoor saunas.

Comparing a Finnish sauna made of hemlock or Finnish pine, which operates at 80 degrees, with a Bio sauna, the Bio sauna has a milder heat. With light effects, you can enjoy an environment at a temperature of 50-60 degrees in a Bio sauna.
