The word sauna is an ancient Finnish word referring to the traditional Finnish bath and to the bathhouse itself. In Baltic-Finnic languages other than Finnish, sauna does not necessarily mean a building or space built for bathing.
It can also mean a small cabin or cottage, such as a cabin for a fisherman.
The first, hot sauna, and then jump to water, and swim in the lake icy water
Maybe we are not as clean and tidy as the Japanese, but a bit least, to one time a weeks, because then is a sauna day... ...if we are found slightly the water.
The first Finnish saunas are what nowadays are called savu-saunas, or smoke saunas.
Winter swimming
These differed from present-day saunas in that they were heated by heating a pile of rocks called kiuas by burning large amounts of wood about 6 to 8 hours, and then letting the smoke out before enjoying the löyly , or sauna heat. A properly heated "savusauna" gives heat up to 12 hours

Sauna (/ s ɔː n ə / or / s aʊ n ə /: Finnish pronunciation: [sɑunɑ]) is a small room or house designed as a place to experience dry or wet heat sessions, or an establishment with one or more of these facilities
As a result of the Industrial Revolution , the sauna evolved to use a metal woodstove, or kiuas [ˈkiu.ɑs], with a chimney. Air temperatures averaged around 70–90 °C (158–194 °F) but sometimes exceeded 100 °C (212 °F) in a traditional Finnish sauna. When the Finns migrated to other areas of the globe they brought their sauna designs and traditions with them.
The attack phase. This sauna are captured from Russians
In Europe , the Nordic countries have a sauna tradition. The Finnish sauna culture is well established, there are built-in-saunas in almost every house in Finland. The oldest known saunas in Finland were made from pits dug in a slope in the ground and primarily used as dwellings in winter.
The sauna featured a fireplace where stones were heated to a high temperature. Water was thrown over the hot stones to produce steam and to give a sensation of increased heat. This would raise the apparent temperature so high that people could take off their clothes.
---------------------------------
In Mexico and Central America, more specifically in the highlands of central and southern Mexico and Guatemala , there is a version of the sauna indigenous to the Americas, called a temazcal. It is the Mexican, Central American version of the sweat lodge used by indigenous peoples of the Americas, though the temazcal is usually made of clay or stone rather than wood.
Archeological sites in Greenland and Newfoundland have uncovered structures very similar to traditional Scandinavian farm saunas, some with bathing platforms and "enormous quantities of badly scorched stones
