In most spa establishments, a sauna is just a small room where heating facilities are installed to release high temperature. The word sauna comes from a Finnish word which refers to “traditional bath house” which is usually made of wood and that is also true nowadays since saunas are also constructed with wood. Back in the olden times, the first saunas were pits underground where people dwell during the winter season. It has a fireplace where stones are heated. This is the concept adapted by some saunas in spas where rocks are heated and are then poured with water to give off hot steam. As the years pass, the evolution of saunas is evident and they are manifested by the modern saunas present in many day and destination spas nowadays. The evolution of saunas also gave birth to therapeutic sauna which is mainly designed to treat certain physical conditions.
Wet and dry saunas are the two main types of saunas and these two hold another specific types of sauna.
