If you are a frequent sauna user you already know the
value of a
healthy sauna. Many cultures have used the
sauna as healing tool. Native American sweat lodges
were used to clean both the spirit and the body of the
poisons of life for thousands of years. A
healthy sauna
meant a warrior would enjoy a healthy mind and body.
Northern Europeans and in particular the Finnish
people perfected what we call the traditional Finnish
sauna more than 1500 years ago. The Finns also knew
that a
healthy sauna meant that your body was clean
and well.

Finnish saunas were used to heal people of all types
of illnesses including fevers, colds, wounds, broken
bones and effects of old age. Frequently a
healthy
sauna
was used to start a pregnant woman’s labor.
Saunas were frequently used for giving birth due to
the fact that they frequently were the cleanest
environment available. In Finland taking a sauna was a
family affair that included men, women and children. A
healthy sauna was an important part of every Finnish
family.

Finnish immigrants brought their culture and
traditions to the Upper Midwest during the mid to late
1800’s. As they settled in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula,
Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota they continued
their
healthy sauna traditions. Many other immigrant
cultures discovered the benefits of a healthy sauna
and began their own sauna traditions. Many families’s
built a sauna adjacent to their homes in order to enjoy
all the benefits of a
healthy sauna.

In mining communities commercial saunas were
established to serve the miners that would emerge
from the mine covered with the grime and dirt of hard
rock mining. Mining was a tough and rough
occupation that required long hours of physical labor
deep underground. As a result muscles and joints
were frequently inflamed. Working underground in a
damp environment caused additional ailments
including respiratory diseases. Miners quickly came to
know that the best way to remove all the dirt and
toxins from their bodies was a hot sauna. The
combination of dry and moist heat healed injuries and
sprains. A
healthy sauna was frequently the only way
for a miner to continue to be able to work and provide
for his family.

Farmers and loggers also used a
healthy sauna to
keep their bodies and minds well.  A sauna was most
appreciated during the long winter months that are
part of living near the Lake Superior shore. Cold
viruses and fevers were common during winter
months and frequently the only source of relief came
from a good
healthy sauna. Research has since
supported what sauna users have know for hundreds
of years and that is that a good
healthy sauna
stimulates the immune system to fight infections.

The benefits of a
healthy sauna continue today. The
traditional sauna is still used to provide all the benefits
that have been enjoyed in the past. New technologies
in the form of infrared sauna heat sources allow just
about anyone to place a
2 person sauna or larger 3
person sauna in their home. These new saunas
provide a dry sauna that provides most of the benefits
of the traditional sauna. It is easier than ever to enjoy a
healthy sauna right in your own home at a very
reasonable price.
