About Sauna
What is a sauna?
Sauna is originally a bathing method called “steam bath,” which is popular for its ability to improve metabolism and build a healthy body through sweating in a hot room. Wooden benches surround a sauna stove that keeps the sauna room at a temperature of 80 to 100 degrees Celsius, which is the common style. At B&V, we have introduced Finnish-style sauna stoves with high humidity and slightly lower temperature. Compared to a typical sauna, the B&V sauna warms the body slowly from the core.
What is “totonou”?
In a sauna, you sweat thoroughly, then cool down your body by immersing yourself in a cold bath or taking an outdoor air bath (resting). By repeating this process, your body gradually warms from the inside, your mind becomes clear, and you experience a sense of happiness. In Japan, this state is called "totonou" (being perfectly aligned or feeling refreshed and balanced).
Benefits & Effects
Since it helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, it can relieve stress. Additionally, improved blood circulation may lead to detoxification, enhanced metabolism, and other beneficial effects, though results may vary from person to person.
How to Enjoy a Finnish-Style Sauna
Before enjoying the sauna, start by hydrating well and washing your body and hair to prepare. Inside the sauna, you can relax at your own pace or increase the perceived temperature with löyly (steam from pouring water over hot stones). When you feel ready, step out of the sauna, rinse off your sweat, and relax with an outdoor air bath. Repeat this sauna and cooling process as desired. Unlike traditional saunas, a cold bath is not a must in a Finnish-style sauna, but you can use it between sauna sessions and outdoor air baths if you prefer.
Precautions
If you are not feeling well, tired, or a beginner, overexerting yourself may cause dizziness or dehydration. It is also not recommended for those with pre-existing medical conditions, pregnant women, and children under 10 years old. Please refrain from using the sauna after drinking or eating. Allow 1-2 hours after eating. Please drink water frequently and enjoy the sauna to the extent that it is comfortable for you.
