Product detailed description

Sauna: The Power of Deep Heat - Emma O'Kelly

Regular sauna sessions provide deep physical and mental restoration, support the immune system and offer a mindful slowing down in today’s fast-paced world. Sauna bathing is not just about exposure to high temperatures, but above all about community, traditions and a connection with nature. The book Sauna: The Power of Deep Heat captures the revival of sauna culture and its transformation in the modern world. The author offers a detailed account of Finnish and Nordic sauna rituals, introduces you to the mythology and history of sweat baths, and explains the health benefits of alternating intense heat with cold water. The text is complemented by large-format photographs by Finnish photographer Maija Astikainen, capturing the authentic atmosphere of traditional log-cabin and modern saunas.
