Some Like It Hot

Whats all in this sauna book? For starters, tips for athletes and health benefits. And saunas made from cars, silos, and ice blocks, ancient savusaunas to state-of-the-art saunas, war saunas to peace saunas, as well as sweat-bath traditions of other cultures. There are proverbs, legends and tales, plus funny stories about the Sauna Queen, nakedness, embarrassing moments, birthing in a sauna, and cupping, an ancient, mysterious treatment. Sprinkled among the pages are also a few recipes to try in the sauna. Did forget sauna reggae? Or where to take a public sauna? That’s here, too, and lots more.
