Sauna, the Finnish bath, cleanses through perspiration.  In its simplest form, stones are heated until they become red hot, water is then thrown on them to produce temperatures as high as 210 degrees F (100 degrees C).  The air remains dry because the moisture is absorbed by wooden walls characteristic of the bathing room.  After perspiring, a true Sauna buff beats his body with leafy birch branches to stimulate circulation, then follows a washing with Vaasa Sauna Soap before a cold shower or plunge into a nearby lake or snowbank.  Relaxed, the bather enjoys a short rest while his body cools down completely.
