Authentic Finnish Sauna Whisk (Birch)

Examples of health benefits associated with steaming.

• Improves blood circulation: Steaming stimulates the skin's surface blood circulation, which helps improve blood circulation and increase blood flow to tissues.
• Muscle tension relief: Steaming helps relax muscles and relieve muscle tension, which can be especially beneficial after sports or physical work.
• Skin well-being: Steaming removes dead skin cells, opens skin pores and promotes skin renewal, which makes the skin softer and healthier looking.
• Stress relief: The relaxing effect of a sauna combined with steaming can help reduce stress and anxiety, which improves overall well-being.
• Respiratory opening: Birch leaves release oils that can help open the airways and improve the quality of breathing.
• Strengthening the immune system: Sauna bathing itself is known to strengthen the immune system, and steaming may enhance this effect by improving blood circulation and stimulating the body's defense mechanisms.
• Pain relief: Steaming can help relieve various types of pain, such as back pain and joint pain, as it relaxes muscles and promotes blood circulation.
• Psychological well-being: The communal nature of sauna bathing and steaming can strengthen social bonds and improve mood.

The benefits of steaming are based on the combination of both the heat of the sauna and the steaming. However, it is important to remember that steaming should be gentle and pleasant so as not to cause skin irritation or other discomfort.
