Sauna Whisks
Introduction to Sauna Whisks
Sauna whisk, known as ”vihta” or ”vasta” in Finnish, is an important part of our cultural heritage and authentic sauna experience. Using a whisk during sauna bathing is an ancient tradition and whisks have been in use for as long as saunas have existed.
If you ask a Finn what comes to mind when thinking of Midsummer, the celebration of summer, they will likely respond, ”the sauna and the scent of fresh birch leaves.” This is because birch branches and leaves are used for decoration during Midsummer and especially for making sauna whisks.
How to use a Sauna Whisk?
Using a sauna whisk is straightforward. If desired, you can let the birch whisk soak in the sauna water first. Towards the middle or the end of your sauna session, take the birch sauna whisk and lightly beat your skin with it. Focus on areas such as the back, shoulders and legs. Whisking can also be a fun activity for couples; you can ask your partner to whisk you and vice versa.
You can take short breaks and cool off and then continue whisking and sauna bathing for as long as you want. And what could be better than taking a refreshing dip in the cool lake water to swim and cool off after sauna?
How are traditional Sauna Whisks made?
Traditionally making a ”saunavihta” begins by gathering 20-40 fresh birch branches, which are then bundled together. The lower part of the bundle is stripped of leaves to create a comfortable handle for the birch whisk. The whisks are often bound with jute rope, or alternatively, they can be tied with twig or string. Some birch whisks are enhanced with eucalyptus, whose leaves add more fresh scent to the sauna.
The benefits of using a Whisk in the Sauna
The gentle and rhythmic beating with the traditional Finnish sauna whisk stimulates blood flow promoting circulation throughout the body, promoting detoxification and leaving bathers feeling energized. Also the gentle exfoliation provided by the birch leaves and branches removes dead skin cells, making the skin smoother and healthier-looking.
The aromatic oils released by the warmed birch leaves fill the sauna with a delightful fragrance, creating a truly soothing experience. This nature’s own aromatic therapy helps to relax the mind and alleviate stress.
Whisking is also used to relieve muscle tension and soreness, thanks to the rhythmic motion of the whisk. This can be particularly beneficial for those with active lifestyles, as it aids in muscle recovery and promotes flexibility.
In addition to its physical benefits, this ancient practice of whisking deepens the connection to cultural heritage and Finnish sauna culture.
A modern alternatives to the traditional Finnish Sauna Whisk
If you love whisking but want an option that lasts from one sauna session to another, consider trying a reusable whisk. These artificial sauna whisks are made of plastic, so you don’t have to worry about leaves falling from the whisk and making a mess.
Reusable sauna whisk is a convenient option. They are easy to clean and maintain and you can take them with you wherever you plan to enjoy sauna and whisking.
If you don’t have the opportunity or don’t want to go through the effort of gathering birch branches and making a whisk, these whisks are an excellent solution. These whisks are suitable for birch allergy sufferers while still containing all the health benefits of traditional birch whisks.
When the reusable whisk reaches the end of its lifecycle, the material can be recycled or disposed of with energy waste. Therefore the impact to the environment is minimal, making it a sustainable option.
