bakitraasi

Bakitraasi is a traditional Finnish sauna experience that involves a series of steam baths and dry sauna sessions. The term "bakitraasi" is derived from the Finnish words "baki," meaning "to bake," and "sauna," referring to the sauna itself. This practice is deeply rooted in Finnish culture and has been an integral part of Finnish life for centuries.

The bakitraasi ritual typically begins with a warm-up session in a steam bath, where the body is exposed to high humidity and heat. This is followed by a dry sauna session, where the body is exposed to high temperatures without any moisture. The dry sauna session is often accompanied by a sauna bath, where the body is submerged in hot water. This cycle of steam baths and dry sauna sessions is repeated several times, with each session becoming progressively hotter.

The bakitraasi experience is believed to have numerous health benefits, including improved circulation, detoxification, and stress relief. It is also a social event, often enjoyed with friends and family. The bakitraasi ritual is an important part of Finnish culture and is celebrated in various festivals and events throughout the year.
