What Are the Benefits of Dry & Steam Saunas?
For thousands of years, people have used dry and wet saunas for therapeutic purposes. In his 1978 book, “Sweat,” Mikkel Aaland traces the history of the sauna to ancient Greece and Finland, where it was championed for cleansing the body and ridding it of toxins. Wet and dry saunas are still quite popular in Europe and Asia, and are typically found in North America at fitness clubs and ski lodges.
