TRADITIONAL SAUNA USE
Congratulations! You are ready to enjoy your sauna! You may use your sauna in a wet or dry fashion. A dry sauna means
you do not sprinkle any water onto the stones, while wet means you increase the humidity of the room by sprinkling
water on the stones. Please note that not much water is needed to achieve a wet sauna experience.
The sauna as we know it originates in Finland. The typical sauna experience follows the steps below, but you may enjoy
your sauna in any way you like!
