Christmas sauna 5.12.23 Unisex

CHRISTMAS SAUNA EVENT – UNISEX

The body, mind and soul relaxes in the Christmas sauna. During the evening, we take a relaxing sauna trip to the world of traditional treatments. You can enjoy e.g. from the smell of birch whisk and peat treatments. You will also get ideas for your own Christmas sauna and easy home treatments.

The Christmas sauna is an old Finnish tradition and it belongs to almost every one of our Christmas celebrations. Various beliefs and customs are traditionally associated with the Christmas sauna, such as taking a sauna in silence so that mosquitoes will not strike in the coming summer and leaving the sauna warm so that the elves can take a sauna after the household. Straw has also been left on the sauna benches as a cushion for the gnomes and a linen towel has been used to bring the harvest to next summer’s linen fields.
