Traditional Sauna
Traditional sauna.
Scandinavian sauna bathing takes two traditional forms. The classic sauna
is best enjoyed at temperatures of 75–90°C in a relative humidity
of 20–35%. Now and then you sprinkle a ladle of water over the hot
sauna stones and feel the unique, tingling sensation as wave after wave
of heat penetrates deep into your skin. Your pores open, you perspire freely
and dead skin cells simply disappear in the shower. Rounding off by pouring
water over the stones is part of the ritual. A slightly more extreme variation
on this theme is the dry sauna in very high temperatures (95–110°C)
and an almost totally dry atmosphere. This form of sauna bathing is popular
among those who like to feel the searing sensation of heat on their skin,
when perspiration is the only way to cool the body. For devotees of traditional
sauna bathing, we recommend a classic Tylo heater or a model from the
Mega series.
