Traditional Lithuanian sauna

When it comes to sauna, there’s never a bad time for it. A few hours spent therein will relax and recharge you in any season. More than that, science has by now demonstrated in no uncertain terms that sauna is exceptionally beneficial to health and longevity. As it turns out, a healthy dose of acute stress can do wonders for the human body – and the chilly winter months are especially conducive to this. Once you’re nice and hot, and having taken a good lashing with a sauna whisk, submersion in cold water acts like a dose of healthy, natural steroids. By the way, if regular sauna isn’t doing it for you anymore, check out its more advanced varieties – trust us, you’ll be telling your friends about them for a long time afterwards! For instance, you may want to try the world’s first “amber sauna” that was built using as many as 3 tonnes of amber. Another good option might be a steam sauna that was popular in Lithuania during the pagan era. You can find one in Rumšiškės. Just remember – always listen to your body, for sauna should be a great pleasure, not an ordeal!
