In Finnish culture, sauna bathing is far more than just a method of relaxation, it is a path to spiritual enlightenment and the search for one’s inner being. The ritual pouring of water onto the glowing stones, known as “löyly”, not only creates a pleasant wave of intense heat, but also symbolizes a profound cleansing and renewal process.

Its history is a reflection of the deep cultural appreciation for the sauna in Finland.
