The sauna is one of the oldest wellness rituals in human history, with origins dating back over 2,000 years in Finland, where it was—and still is—a central part of daily life. Originally dug into the ground and heated with wood-burning stoves, early saunas served not only as places for cleansing and relaxation, but also for childbirth, healing, and spiritual rituals.
At the same time, in Ancient Rome, the culture of public bathing flourished in the form of the Thermae—vast architectural complexes that combined calidarium (hot rooms), frigidarium (cold baths), and tepidarium (warm areas). These spaces were not only dedicated to hygiene but also to social interaction, restoration, and mental well-being—principles that remain at the core of modern spa design.
Over the centuries, thermal traditions evolved across Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the Mediterranean, giving rise to practices such as the Banya, Hammam, and Aufguss rituals. Today’s saunas and steam rooms continue this legacy, merging ancestral wisdom with technological innovation.
