    Sauna: An essential part of being Finnish

    How did sauna become par o heFinnish naional ideniy? Is i

    because o he Finns passion orcleanliness, he long cold winers near hearcic, or he endency o he Finns o as-similae ino oher culures wih heir passionor sauna (pronounced SOW-nah sowrhymes wih WOW) inac? Finnish-Amer-ican pioneers oen buil heir saunas rs,even beore he house.

    Perhaps i is because much o Finnish lie re-volved around he sauna. In years pas, womengave birh in he sauna and amilies prepared

    bodies or burial here. Even oday, babiesare assimilaed o bahing in he sauna a aew monhs old and he radiion coninueshrough o old age.

    Saunas have been an insiuion in Finland

    or 7,000 years and nearly every householdhas one in ac,he Finns boas abouhaving 2 million sau-nas in a counry wiha populaion o only6 million. Saunas can

    be ound in all hehoels and in mos

    privae homes. Finn-ish people ypically

    ake a sauna bah a leas once a week, oendaily a heir summer cabins.

    Te sauna is a place or relaxaion, media-ion, rejuvenaion and bahing. I is believedo srenghen he immune response, helpdeoxiy he body, cleanse he pores and calm

    he soul. Conrary o wha one migh hink,

    he hea in a rue Finnish sauna is never dry,hanks o lyly, he seam ha lls he room

    when waer is hrown on he ho sove. Oneis expeced o chose a sea in he sauna basedupon how much seam one can olerae, heupper benches being prime seaing or a goodswea. Te average emperaure in a Finnish

    sauna is 70-80 C (158-176 F). Seam is enjoyedbeore bahing. I is cusomary o ake a saunabah wihou clohes on (i is difcul o baheproperly wearing a swimsui). In public saunas,men and women bahe separaely, and in privaesaunas, genders are usually segregaed, wih heexcepion o amily (i.e. husband and wie, oramilies wih young children). Men may akea urn in he sauna rs, when he seam is he

    hotes. A rue Finnish sauna experience mayinclude a mid-seam jump in a icy lake or a rollin he snow. In he summer, birch branches aregahered, ied ogeher in a viha and used oswa ones back in he sauna, which is said oimprove circulaion. Te smell o warm birchleaves in he sauna seam is enough o leave anyFinn dreaming o midsummer.

    SAUNA ETIQUETTE

    Beore leaving he sauna one is ex-peced o check he sove, add woodand soke he re i needed.

    I is considered bad manners o holdhe door open oo long and allowhe seam o escape.

    In public saunas one is expeced ouse a owel o si on o help keep he

    bench saniary.

    An old Finnishproverb saes:One shouldbehave in hesauna as one

    does in church.
