Sauna has been known to be in existence for over 2000 years. The evolution of the sauna is pivoted on the development of science and technology. From being dug into the earth to being built above the ground, enormous changes have been observed about the sauna. These changes are visible in the framework of the sauna, the method of steam/heat generation, the entire sauna facility e.t.c. The origin of the sauna is traced back to the Finnish people. Often, the sauna is referred to as a sweat house because, with the increase in temperature, the body begins to release sweats. The oldest sauna is known to be in Finland which was made by digging pits in the earth and heating rocks or stones to bring about a temperature increase. Saunas have been found and accepted by other cultures across the globe, and they are often used as centres for relaxation, therapy, and also for health purpose.
A sauna is a heated room with a temperature of about 150F (70C) designed to be a place to experience heat sessions. With the improvement in technology, there is a wide variety of sauna options with heat sources such as wood, gas, electricity, etc. Others forms of sauna include:
[B]Dry sauna:[/B] With a dry sauna, heating is done with the aid of the stones. The stones are heated, and no water is ladled on the rocks. This generates a high temperature with very low humidity. Individuals who can’t tolerate high temperature for long would have to switch to other types of sauna for safety reasons.

[B]Wet sauna:[/B] This is similar to the dry sauna, having heated stones, a bucket of water, a ladle to it. The water helps in regulating the humidity of the sauna. It is also known that the higher the temperature, the lower the humidity.
[B]Infrared sauna:[/B] The infrared sauna is quite different from other conventional or traditional saunas. It is best for individuals with a low tolerance for high temperature. There is absolutely no humidity in this sauna; the individual’s body is directly heated by infrared ray and envelop in a heat glove.
[B]Steam sauna: [/B]Humidity in the steam sauna is at 100%. This makes the sauna feel hotter regardless of the temperature, which is usually low.
It is imperative to be aware of the different types of sauna before buying a sauna for your home. Sometimes seeing and discussing with your doctor could be of great help. Individuals who have a low tolerance to heat would instead go to [B][URL=https://poshh.co.uk/saunas.html]poshh.co.uk[/URL][/B] for the infrared sauna as to the steam sauna whose high humidity makes the sauna very hot and also set up a garden sauna would be great if the family is a large or extended one.
