bsdmeco on 19 Mar 25From the 5th to the 8th century AD, saunas had already appeared in Finland. At that time, the bath was a single-room circular log structure. People burned firewood in the stove, placed several layers of broken stones on top, and poured water on them when the stones turned red hot. Smoke immediately filled the sauna. People would quickly sweat and feel very comfortable in the bath. This bath method was called the "smoky sauna" and became very popular once it appeared.
