P156- Finland - Finnish traditional sauna


Finnish traditional sauna, Soumenniemi , Finland




The Finnish sauna is a substantial part of Finnish culture. There are five million inhabitants and over two million saunas in Finland - an average of one per household. For Finnish people the sauna is a place for easing with friends and family, and a place for physical and mental relaxation. Finns think of saunas not as a luxury, but as a necessity. Before the rise of public health care and nursery facilities, almost all Finnish mothers gave birth in saunas.


芬蘭全國有不同大小桑拿共百多萬間,遊客無論在任何大小城鎮,也不難找到這地道特色。首先各酒店均備有桑拿房供住客使用,除此之外,還有更具規模及傳統風味的選擇。

在芬蘭享受蒸氣浴,習慣有一套沿用已久規格。首先桑拿室以純木材建造,當中亦必包括蒸汽房、洗澡間和更衣室。蒸汽室有加熱石頭,而室溫通常調較至攝氏50度到80度間。進行芬蘭浴過程時,人們不時澆水於燒熱石頭上以產生蒸汽,不過濕度規定一立方米空氣含水氣50到60克。為了調節濕度,蒸汽房裝有隨時可開關的小窗。

芬蘭浴第一步先淋浴清潔,隨即赤身進入蒸汽房(所有公共桑拿也男女分開使用,而攜帶毛巾只作墊坐之作)。享受熱氣蒸浴時,人們都慣以浸軟白樺樹枝葉拍打身體,讓血液運行加快,皮膚毛孔盡量張開,汗水更暢順流出體外。

當出汗一段時間,大家便要來趟淋浴清潔並冷卻身體(在郊外的桑拿,人們很多時直接跳入湖水洗身),待熱氣散去後再回蒸氣房拍打、出汗,跟著又淋水冷卻。

如是者來回數遍,體內污垢排出,人也充分鬆馳,最後再作徹底清潔,芬蘭浴才告完成。浴後緊記吃點高鹽份食物,以補充身體所失。
