Interestingly, if you're in a Finnish-style sauna, I'll stick with that, your core temperature actually doesn't go up that much.
It's really interesting.
Your skin temperature...
gets hot, especially when they do the steam thing, the lola, or the loyly, right?
They throw the water on the rocks, this blast of steam comes up.
Finnish people love that, and it's like awesome.
It's like injected into my veins.
It's this great feeling, but you have this intense heat on your skin.
Your core doesn't get that hot, interestingly.
So the sauna was akin to like the bathtub.
It's like where you went to get clean.
And it just happened to be, since each person couldn't have an individual sauna, it was like a family thing.
So you'd be in there with the whole family, sans clothes.
And it was a weekly thing or it was every few days, heat up the sauna and everybody would come in and get clean.
That was really it.
But it turned out to be this, one of those customs that had like, I don't want to say scalability, but it had like all these other benefits that we're kind of exploring now.
Now, interestingly, before we knew about germs, the Finns and Scandinavians and Russians and Ukrainians were going into these hot spaces that were hot enough to kill germs, right?
So they gave birth in saunas, which is the craziest cultural fact.
Imagine giving birth in a sauna.
This was quite common.
