Ahhh the Sauna, I'm actually pronounced “sow-nah” in Finland. Did you know “sauna” is Finnish for bath house and I’m the only Finnish word that exists in the dictionary? I’m built with passion from Finnish hands, with an estimated 3 million saunas in Finland today and a population of just over 5 million, that works out to be an average of one per household so you can kind of call them the experts!
Even hundreds of years ago when bathing was done only rarely or never at all, the Finns were cleaning themselves in a sauna at least once a week. Not only are saunas an important part of Finnish culture, they are a place to relax as well as a place for physical and mental relaxation. Before the health care and nursing systems began almost all Finnish mothers gave birth in their sauna!
So why does any of this matter? Believe me, I care about you, so if you do too, let's get to the benefits of using me. The three entwined aspects of oneself (mind, body, spirit) are all soothed with some quality time with me. I can help remove toxins and cleanse the body, I'm great for relaxing sore muscles, detoxifying and can aid in lowering your blood pressure. I also help to create heat shock proteins that allow your cells to manage stressful conditions.
My heat soothes your nerve endings and warms and relaxes you, relieving tensions from your body and minimizing joint pain. I’m especially good for people suffering from arthritis, painful migraines and headaches. I help to reduce the stress of everyday life, thus ensuring a better night's sleep.
You deserve to be relaxed and pampered, and what better way than to enjoy a sauna built from Finnish hands? I’ll be here waiting for you at Port Franks Getaway!
