Platinum VIP Kojootti Posted May 3 Platinum VIP Posted May 3 What is the best temperature to take a sauna @saunakiuas? Also, welcome my fellow sauna enjoyer 13 hours ago, saunakiuas said: Hello, My name is saunakiuas. I am a sauna enjoyer from Finland, the land of saunas. I would like to tell you more about myself, but for now, let's talk about saunas. Brief introduction to saunas There are two main types of saunas: traditional saunas and infrared saunas. A traditional sauna is equipped with either an electric heater, or a wood stove. There are fist-size rocks on top of the heating system that are heated up to heat the sauna. As the sauna is being heated, heat-energy from the rocks is released through thermal radiation. After reaching a certain temperature, water is thrown on the rocks, producing steam inside the room. An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to emit infrared light, which is experienced as heat in the body. Important note I have never been in an infrared sauna and only recently heard about them, so Google is your friend in that matter. I have used a traditional sauna since I was a child and feel no need to even try any other method, unless I am offered money of course. Translation of my name Some people have been wondering about the meaning of the second word in my name, kiuas. Kiuas is a Finnish word referring to the heating system used to heat a sauna: an electric heater or a wood stove, as mentioned above. In case of an electric heater, word sähkö can be added in front the word, creating conjunction sähkökiuas (sähkö meaning electricity). In case of a wood stove, word puu can be added in front of the word, creating conjunction puukiuas (puu meaning wood). Closing words Summer Holiday season started yesterday in Finland regarding companies' vacation policies about timing employees' vacation days. This means, that tons of saunas will be heated during the next five months, just like they were during the previous seven months. The only difference is, that in summertime people sauna more in their cottages in the countryside and heat specifically a pihasauna. Pihasauna is translated outside sauna meaning the sauna is it's own separate building near the main building. If you want to learn more about saunas or discuss any other matter, send me a message. Happy Summer! sauna 2 4 1 Quote
saunakiuas Posted May 4 Posted May 4 (edited) 20 hours ago, Kojootti said: What is the best temperature to take a sauna @saunakiuas? Also, welcome my fellow sauna enjoyer There are multiple factors in determining the best temperature. It is also possible to use a thermometer inside the sauna. However, as a true sauna enjoyer, I don't use a thermometer. I just adjust the heating system and feel how the temperature is. Usually the right temperature is achieved within 30 - 60 minutes of heating the sauna. Key factors for best temperature 1. Sauna-goer's experience: A person going to a sauna for the first time may want to reduce the overall temperature of the sauna to make sure they feel comfortable in a heated environment and to let them safely experience the sudden spikes in temperature. 2. Sauna-goer's physiology: Ability to withstand heat is different for each person. Some people's bodies are able to withstand increased temperatures better than others so they may increase the overall temperature of the sauna to optimize their experience. 3. Sauna-goer's goals: Regardless of a person's experience or physiology, they may desire different temperatures at different times. If they are talking with somebody, it may be helpful to lower the overall temperature of the sauna to prolong the stay time. Main ways to adjust temperature 1. Heating system: First possible chance at adjusting the overall temperature of the sauna is when the sauna is being heated. An electric heater has a button for adjusting the temperature and a wood stove heater is adjusted by the amount of wood burned. Optimizing the heating time is also an important factor. 2. Throwing water: Controlling the amount of water thrown on the rocks is an important step in adjusting the overall temperature in the sauna. Quantity of water thrown with each spoon should be optimal and also thrown with reasonable frequency. Finding a balance is an important safety measure. 3. Person's position: As warm air moves upwards, a person can increase or lower their experienced temperature by moving up or down the steps that are on different levels. It is also possible to adjust the experienced temperature by changing body alignment between sitting, ducking and laying down. There are also different saunas and sauna types that affect the equation. If the sauna room is big, it needs more time to heat. There are also more subtle ways that affect the temperatures. One may throw cold water onto themselves to reduce their body temperature, or go outside the sauna once in a while to let their body cool down. Edited May 4 by saunakiuas 3 1 3 Quote
