Ajoasennot

Ajoasennot, also known as "Ajo" or "Ajoase" in some contexts, are traditional Finnish saunas that have been used for centuries for their health and relaxation benefits. These saunas are typically built outdoors and are often located in rural areas or near forests. The construction of an ajoasennot typically involves a small wooden building with a simple roof and a single room. The interior is heated to high temperatures, usually between 70 to 100 degrees Celsius, using a wood-burning stove. The sauna is typically used for short periods, usually around 10 to 20 minutes, and is followed by a cool-down period in a nearby water bath or by simply stepping outside into the cooler air. The use of ajoasennot has been linked to various health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, reduced stress levels, and enhanced immune function. The tradition of ajoasennot has also been preserved and promoted by organizations such as the Finnish Sauna Association, which works to educate the public about the benefits of sauna use and to promote the preservation of traditional sauna culture.
