When a human has made himself useful to the discovery that the rocks are able to accumulate the heat of fire, he secured for himself the ability to effectively heat their homes and - by increasing the temperature - develop in a heavy sweat. Today, scientists have proved that our ancient people living in the Stone Age used a physiotherapy. The concept of bath or a sauna bauen there, as in all European languages, and in most languages of the peoples of Asia. In Europe, the ritual baths must have been left at the end of the Middle Ages, with the exception of Finland and most of the Russian Empire. Interestingly, the hot air used in the warmer regions of Europe and even Asia. In the first place we should mention the Romans, with their high bathhouse culture. As for the East, it has long been widely known Turkish steam bath. But at a time when almost all the countries history and bath business has evolved, with varying success, Finnish sauna tradition can boast having almost two thousand years of history. Moreover, this story covers all the historical stages, and all social strata. The Finns brought into the territory of the modern sauna in Finland with their places of origin - from Asia, bordering the expanse of the Urals. In ancient times, saunas were held in tents and huts on the depressions in the ground, in which hot stones were placed. The oldest form of saunas were dug into the ground or in hillside pits. These were the earliest structures saunas do not require special construction materials and the cost of work. And the earth saunas have been widely used in Finland until the early 20th century. True, they were poor saunas in Finland. From excavation to modern sauna bauen. Before sauna we got the usual type, she passed many stages of development. East sauna looked more like a sauna bath. West-Finnish sauna, in contrast, was a rather large wooden structure with a full veranda and was similar to the typical in those days in Finland sheds. While in Northern Finland the sauna culture saunas were closer western Finland, but the farther north, the smaller the size of them. Design sauna that, however, can be attributed to the saunas of Central Finland, gave stability powerful roots. In addition to the above-mentioned types of patriarchal in Finland was still a lot of options that have disappeared because of historical or economic situation or because of problems with the building material. As an example, the sauna from Ostrobothnia, which were built of marsh peat. Black or so-called smoky sauna, in which the Finns initially build a fire under the stones, but later began to make holes to vent smoke in the walls, stopped building in the early 19th century, when the sauna bauen were installed furnace to the chimney, and later, and specially designed sauna stoves. Until then, saunas were heated only by open stoves without chimney. Later it was replaced by a closed metal or stone oven with chimney. Unfortunately, technical innovation and new building materials have led to the fact that the best features of old and traditional Finnish sauna has been successfully forgotten. The reasons for this were, inter alia, in furnaces with external traction, large selection of building materials, different architectural styles and, of course, the issue of savings. The design of the old black sauna was "breathing", ie, the walls of untreated wood to absorb excess moisture, and if necessary, again to give it to hover in the sauna. Ventilation was provided entirely by the log structures. The use of natural materials, soothing color dark brown to gray massive logs of Finnish spruce polar ensure smooth and healthy washing in a traditional Finnish sauna. These old wisdom, which provide a traditional and reliable design was rejected and forgotten. Although, recently, some companies are trying to revive the ancient culture of the Finnish sauna, for example, company B + S Finnland Sauna. Now on the market in most saunas are elementary constructions. But recently the trend is noticeably changed, due to which producers and prefabricated sauna in the growing demand for moving production of solid wood sauna. The most durable is the design of saunas bauen from whole logs - but here there are significant differences in quality. It depends on what kind of experience is a manufacturer of saunas in the manufacture of whole logs and how it can solve the problem with living material such as wood.
