Suoransuihkun
Suoransuihkun, or "sweat shower," is a traditional Finnish sauna practice that involves showering with cold water immediately after exiting a hot sauna. This method is believed to enhance the health benefits of sauna use by stimulating the body’s circulation and immune system. The practice is rooted in Finland’s long-standing sauna culture, which dates back centuries and is deeply embedded in the country’s lifestyle.
The process typically begins with spending time in a hot sauna, where temperatures can reach 70–100 °C
