Accordingly, after being in the hot room for 10-20 minutes your pulse rate rises to 120-150/min, your skin temperature to about 40°C and you are sweating profusely.

Saunas have got two different waves: infrared and conventional. The infrared waves have the capacity of reducing temperatures to more than 3 times than a conventional sauna.

Again, a sauna is such a central and distinguishing feature of everyday life because it is a significant and unique place to be.

The scientific dilemma of trying to discover the inventor of the sauna is like the question of the where abouts of Hansel and Gretel's ginger bread house.

Ngabonziza says a sauna's status is secure if not undisputed in our changing lifestyles. Sauna creates togetherness refrains from fatigue and certain illnesses, like influenza, headache, and skin rashes, among others.
