Lämmönkeruun

Lämmönkeruun is a traditional Finnish sauna accessory designed to generate heat and maintain optimal sauna temperatures. It is typically made of copper or cast iron and features a handle and a spout for pouring water. The device is placed inside the sauna, and water is poured into it, which then evaporates, releasing heat and raising the sauna's temperature.

The lämmönkeruun plays a crucial role in the sauna experience by ensuring that the temperature remains consistent and comfortable for users. It is particularly useful in larger saunas or during colder weather, as it helps to counteract the natural cooling effect of the sauna's environment.

The use of lämmönkeruun is a long-standing tradition in Finnish sauna culture, with each family or sauna often having its own set of these devices. They are typically used in conjunction with other sauna accessories such as a sauna bench, a sauna stone, and a sauna stove.

The lämmönkeruun is an essential tool for maintaining the traditional Finnish sauna experience, which is characterized by its communal atmosphere, relaxation, and health benefits. It is an example of the country's rich cultural heritage and the importance of traditional practices in Finnish society.
