Nordic bath

Nordic baths are a traditional form of body cleansing and relaxation in Nordic countries, particularly Finland, Sweden and Norway. They have a long history and are closely linked to Nordic culture and nature.

In Finland there is the sauna bath, which plays an important role in the daily life of Finns. The sauna is a room heated with wood where people sweat and relax. Sauna bathing has a long tradition in Finland and is often viewed as a social event where family and friends come together. Sweating in a sauna is considered to cleanse the body and can also provide health benefits.

In Sweden there is bathing in the sea or lakes, which is called "dipping". This includes immersion in cold water after sauna bathing or after sweating. Bathing in cold water is considered refreshing and invigorating and can stimulate blood circulation and the immune system.

In Norway there is the tradition of the "bathhouse", which functions similarly to a sauna. It is a room heated with wood where people sweat and relax. The bathhouse is often connected to a lake or river so that people can jump into the cold water after sweating.

Nordic baths offer a way to relax and cleanse the body and mind. They are often connected to nature and use natural elements such as wood and water. These baths also have a social component where people come together and spend time together. Nordic baths are an important cultural tradition in the Nordic countries and provide a way to experience the nature and heritage of this region.
