Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 finnland it is customary to use the sauna, as they say it helps with the body and helps with the mind. can you tell me an ayurvedic reasoning for why the finnish find this recreation so necessary in their life. of course the climate is much different there with extreme cold and also very little sunlight at times. obviously the need for heat is a need to counteract what dosha force by the way? sincerely, Raja G.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Sauna is a very great self-nurture in many places including India. Other forms of self-nurturing heat include Sun-baths, steam, etc. In my limited knowledge, the heat forces sweating which clears out the pores allowing better exchange of topical gases/elimination of toxins through the skins. It also spurs growth of new cells (not sure how) and helps clear out/replace the old dead cells by loosening them (skin gets soft in heat). The over all effect on skin is also rejvenating and younger-look. __________________________ can you tell me an ayurvedic reasoning for why the finnish find this recreation (sauna) so necessary in their life.
