Sauna The Natural Bath

SAUNA, pronounced "sow (like how) nah," is the only Finnish word in the English dictionary, and it means "bath" and the "bathhouse." Sauna has been a way of life for over 2000 years in Finland, where it was invented. It was first brought to America by Finns who settled in Delaware in 1638, and one of their first Saunas was built where the Philadelphia City Hall now stands. After 350 years, the Sauna is more popular than ever. And, it has become an established tradition for many Americans.

SAUNA — IT'S VERY UNIQUE
SAUNA is the only bath in the world in which both dry air and damp air are present at the same time.

SAUNA — WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS
SAUNA is a process—pure and simple—a sensual pleasure. It is the body's natural way to cleanse itself through perspiration. The high heat (average of 180°F) and the low humidity (about 25%) create an environment which promotes over-all perspiration and the deep cleansing of pores. The body's impurities are flushed away (even nicotine from a smoker's body). The special heat and humidity soothes and relaxes tired muscles, relieves stress, and promotes a wonderful feeling of satisfaction and well being. Additionally, a Sauna helps to maintain clear, healthy skin and there is that afterglow of a rosy complexion—the aura of good health! Also, during the Sauna process, the rate of blood circulation increases, the rate of breathing increases, and the pulse rate is faster. Ten minutes of sauna is like 10 minutes of exercise. An added benefit is that a Sauna is very inexpensive to operate, as it is on only when being used, and there is a short heat-up time (air is being heated rather than water such as in a hot tub). There is also no major upkeep for a Sauna, there are no harmful chemicals being absorbed into the body (instead, the body's poisons are removed through perspiration), there are no plumbing parts to freeze or repair, and there are no moisture problems for other areas of the house or building. (Sauna is not a steam bath.) The Sauna is a self contained unit.

SAUNA — WE BELIEVE IN IT!
Welcome to the relaxing world of Sauna! I am a native of Finland, where Sauna is a national institution, and I grew up taking Saunas as a weekly ritual. My Finnish pride in the Sauna and my desire to represent the "true" Sauna here in America prompted me to start my own Sauna business in 1964. My company is able to offer you the "best of two worlds"—Finland and America. We import the Finlandia and Harvia Sauna heaters from Harvia Oy in Finland, the world's largest privately owned Sauna factory, because their heaters are unequaled in quality and in providing the right Sauna climate for the bather. We manufacture our Sauna rooms in Portland, Oregon, the heart of the timber country, where quality and selection of lumber is unmatched! We take pride in "old country" craftsmanship, superior products, and personal service—SAUNA IS OUR ONLY BUSINESS!

With warm wishes,
