Sauna cup for aromatic applications in the sauna, or simply for improving humidity level

Description Hukka Sauna Amfora

It is best to place the Hukka Sauna Amphora between sauna stones. You will need totake care that the cup does not touch the heating elements themselves. Just fill the cup with water to keep a pleasantly humid atmosphere in your sauna. In addition, you can add your favorite sauna aroma. While the sauna oven is heating up, the Sauna Amphora creates a pleasing sauna ambience, with or without fragrance, depending on your preference.

Optimum air, heat and humidity are essential for a healthy sauna atmosphere. If the air in the sauna does not contain enough moisture, the air may dry out the mucous membranes and the respiratory tract. The traditional infusion at the end of a sauna session also serves to maintain the humidity levels and avoids the air becoming too dry. A sauna session may last up to 15 minutes. The infusion is then carried out with water (possibly combined with an aromatic infusion concentrate) by pouring it onto the hot stones of the stove.

Sauna applications strengthen the circulatory system, protect you from colds and make your skin look beautifully. What makes a sauna application so special is the alternation of hot and cold, which strengthens the immune system in a natural way. A sauna treatment improves the self-healing power of the body in a different way too: the heat helps to stimulate the blood flow and the skin will look fresher.
It is recommended to visit the sauna at least once a week for a few months in order to benefit from its positive effects. You will notice a feeling of relaxation and recreation right away. In the long term, regular sauna sessions can also help to normalize high blood pressure. The heat makes the heart beat a little faster, but the heat is also acting at the same time on the blood vessels and is dilating them. Regular sauna applications also contribute to stabilize the cardiovascular system. It is important to cool the body immediately after the heat in order to enjoy all the benefits it offers. You can refresh your body also by taking a cold to warm shower instead of immersing in cold water. However, if this is the case, the shower should last slightly longer than the cold water application. After this treatment you should rest. Lie down, keep the legs above heart level if possible and relax before continuing with a second round.Mother Nature gave soapstone mythical capabilities to withstand the harsh, Nordic environment. It can handle equally well hot fire or freezing cold. It is capable of accumulating both heat as well as cold. And it stays warm or cold for a long time. This is one of the unique characteristics of the Hukka products.

When sweating strongly once a week, your body gets rid of toxins faster than usual, which is very beneficial for your whole well-being. Asides of detoxification, sauna applications also prevent from influenza. However, if you already notice the first signs of the flu, you should avoid visiting the sauna.
How come that the sauna causes such a pleasant feeling of relaxation? First of all, the high temperatures help to relax the muscles, the blood pressure lowers, and in addition to this, the body releases certain hormones that cause the comforting feeling of happiness. The single duration of a sauna session depends on how long it is good for your body. In case of sauna temperatures of 80 degrees, sessions of 8-12 minutes are recommended. No sauna session should last longer than 15 minutes and you should only stay as long as you feel comfortable. People with complex, hard to control cardiovascular diseases or people who suffer from epilepsy or acute inflammations should avoid sauna applications.
2.2 billion years ago earth was still at the very early stage of it´s history. There was not a single living thing (besides single and multiple cell "creatures") on earth and the continental blocks started moving to their modern day positions. Volcanic activity was very high even in Scandinavia, which is one of the oldest geological areas on earth.

As the solid surface of earth was moving and the continental blocks collided a high mountain range was formed in the area, that nowadays borders between Finland and Russia. As the mountains where rising, huge air pockets where forming underneath them. Fluid, volcanic stone was filling those pockets. Under this intense heat and extremely high pressure very special stone, soapstone, was formed.

It lay at rest under the high mountains for billions of years till the northern hemisphere was re-shaped by quite another type of force from nature: The Ice Age. Huge masses of continental ice swept over the area, so enormous was the pressure that it even levelled down the Carelian mountain range, that had been hiding one of the most interesting gifts of nature: soapstone.
Still it had to wait for quite a long time before anybody understood to start making all sorts of items of it. Tens of thousands of years of midnight sun in the summer and beautiful symphonies of northern lights in the winter made the stone even more special.
