The sauna has a long history, going back at least several thousands years, maybe more. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans enjoyed the wonder-working sweat.

    In the Slavonic culture sauna has always played an important role - it is not only a washing room, but a special club, where friends can gather and have a heart-to-heart talk. The positive effect of sweat on human physical and emotional state has been noticed and scientifically proved long time ago. The heat urges every organ of the body into action, it stimulates the heart, and the blood circulates faster. Sweat has the function of being a judicious garbage collector; it draws out toxic metals and substances. Sauna is also famous for its rejuvenating effect.

    There are a variety of different sauna types in the world: Russian banya, Finnish sauna, Turkish hamam steam bath. Each culture has its own version of the sweat bath, but there is one thing that they have in common - after visiting sauna you will feel renewed physically and emotionally. In Riga the number of saunas, offering different services - everything from sweat bath to aroma massage, is quite big. One can choose something according to his taste and preferences.
