Tulennon

Tulennon is a traditional Finnish sauna, which is a small, heated room used for relaxation and cleansing. The word "tulennon" is derived from the Finnish words "tuli," meaning fire, and "noni," meaning room. Tulennon is an essential part of Finnish culture and is often found in homes, especially in rural areas. It is typically a small, wooden structure with a simple design, featuring a stove for heating and a bench for sitting. The temperature inside a tulennon can reach up to 90 degrees Celsius (194 degrees Fahrenheit), which is significantly higher than the body's core temperature. This high temperature is believed to help open the pores, detoxify the body, and promote relaxation. Tulennon is often used for social gatherings, as it provides a comfortable and intimate setting for conversation and bonding. It is also a popular destination for tourists seeking an authentic Finnish experience. The use of tulennon has been declining in recent years due to modern conveniences and changing lifestyles, but it remains an important cultural practice in Finland.
