Savusauna

Savusauna refers to the original form of sauna, where in an enclosed room some water was thrown onto hot rocks and the room had a small fireplace and no chimney. The fireplace radiated plenty of heat even after the fire had died. The use of Savusauna also known as Smoke Saunas has been reduced with the advancement in the technology. Presently, the latest in trends are infrared saunas.

In infrared saunas, electric heaters are used to generate the radiations. Such infrared rays are beneficial for health. The rays penetrate the skin to improve perspiration. There are other heat sources available than electric heaters which are proven to be as beneficial as electric heaters. One such source is continuous fire, with a firebox and smokestack and plenty of stone is placed in a compartment above the firebox. The best part of continuous fire is that it doesn’t smell of smoke.

You can have a personal sauna of your own in your home and even in your backyard. There are endless innovative possibilities for building a sauna, depending upon your requirements.
