Finns have a sauna for every three people. Why do they like saunas so much?

In the eyes of many people, Finns are relatively indifferent. People who have been to Finland will think that Finns are more wary of strangers. People should keep a certain distance even when waiting in line. However, people who pay attention to distance like them are much easier to get along with in the sauna. Many people can sit in the sauna or chat. Some people say that the population of Finland is only about 5 million, but there are 200 to 300 people? Millions of saunas show that Finns really like saunas. Many people will wonder why Finns like saunas so much, which should be a habit left over from their ancestors. This smoked sauna has spread all over the country with the footsteps of Finns. For a long time, Finns have bathed in this way.

Finns began to do this in the 5th and 8th centuries when taking a bath in the bathroom. They put some stones into the fire, which made them red. Then they watered them, and in an instant there was no smoke in the whole bathroom. Finns sweat like rain in the smoke, sweating all over, and then feel comfortable, so they fall in love with this bathing method. They call it a "smoked sauna". This bathing method has been an important part of Finns for a long time.

Later, this way of using smoke sauna began to be out of harmony with modern life, so people invented the electric sauna stove. There are also some public saunas in front of Finns, and many Finns will wear them to saunas.

At present, many hotels in Finland are equipped with sauna rooms, just to cater to this hobby of the people.
