Nella vera sauna finlandese non si utilizzano aromi o oli profumati, ne sulla pelle ne sulle pietre. Music is not provided even if modulated in low tones and with relaxing rhythms, it is not really used. However, in thermal centres, wellness centres or SPAs, the use of aromatherapy and music therapy have now mixed with the classic and ancient rituals of saunas. In the sauna clothing should be banned, in fact in Germany they maintain complete nakedness. With a temperature very close to 100°, clothes were not allowed to avoid the risk of collapse, now however, slightly lower temperatures are maintained so that you can be covered without risk. Normally the instructions of the wellness centers and saunas are respected as well as the common respect for the sense of modesty.
