And even now, in Finland, the sauna is seen as almost a philosophy of life, so that there are few homes that do not have them.

The explanation lies in the functioning of the body when the outside temperature is higher and the corporeal, the body through sweat pores, the fluid secreted evaporates and disperses body heat. If the humidity, like the turkish bath, covering the entire skin, sweating is not necessary to the body because it’s the steam that serves to dissipate excessive heat.

The heat that is put on the body during this treatment, forced him to speed up its metabolic functions: blood circulation are stimulated and the nervous and hormonal systems, with consequent beneficial effects on the body. The hammam also promotes the revitalization and oxygenation of tissues, as well as delaying the process of skin aging. The pores are dilated and the skin breathes eliminating toxins and resulting in smooth and purified in depth.
