The smoke sauna differs from other saunas in many ways, so it is recommended to learn a few basic concepts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You must set aside sufficient time, because a smoke sauna is not the place for a quick wash.<\/li>\n<li>The smoke is present in the sauna only during the heating process, after which it will be let out \u2013 so the air will be clear when you go inside.<\/li>\n<li>When entering the sauna, words of greeting are spoken. When leaving the sauna, gratitude is rendered. For instance, the most common words of greeting are \u201cJummal sekka!\u201d (or: May the Lord be with us!), and the people in sauna answer \u201cJummal h\u00e4\u00e4 miis!\u201d (or: The Lord is a good man!). To show your gratitude you can say \u201cAit\u00fcma sannak\u00fctjale, ait\u00fcma saus\u00fc\u00fcjale, ait\u00fcma viituujale, ait\u00fcma vihahaudjale!\u201d (or: Thanks to the sauna-heater, thanks to the smoke-eater, thanks to the water-carrier, thanks to the whisk-soaker!).<\/li>\n<li>The door of the sauna is kept closed.<\/li>\n<li>While using the sauna, no wood is added to the oven, nor is the ash or charcoal in the oven stirred. Likewise, rubbish must not be thrown into the hearth.<\/li>\n<li>It is not wise to lean against the walls \u2013 they are hot and grimy. Likewise, it is not recommended to rake the walls or ceiling with a whisk, because the whisk will become grimy and this will make the body dirty, too.<\/li>\n<li>Even the walls of the sauna vestibule can be grimy. Bear this in mind while removing your clothes.<\/li>\n<li>If your body or clothes become dirty, you must clean them with cold or cool water.<\/li>\n<li>The water used to make steam must not be thrown in the heater all in one go, but must be allowed to trickle around the stones in the heater. You cannot use cold water for making the steam \u2013 the water must be hot or at least lukewarm.<\/li>\n<li>The steam from a smoke sauna is not sharp and hot, but very damp and long-lasting.<\/li>\n<li>A dry threshing whisk is soaked in a separate bowl or a bucket filled with hot water, until the leaves of the whisk are soft. The whisk must not be placed into the heater, because the leaves can fall between the stones and release carbon monoxide into the room.<\/li>\n<li>When rinsing with hot water in between several bouts of taking steam and threshing, the body becomes clean even without the use of modern washing facilities. You can ask the sauna\u2019s owner about washing customs and about which washing facilities are customarily used.<\/li>\n<li>Smoke saunas are usually not equipped with electricity. During darkness, oil lamps, candles and other sources of open flame are used. But one must be careful while using them!<\/li>\n<li>The water (especially hot water) must be used sparingly, because it is usually not available in large quantities.<\/li>\n<li>The sauna is a place for healing one\u2019s body and mind, so no contentious or irritating stories are to be told in the sauna.<\/li>\n<li>While threshing, it is good manners to offer thanks.<\/li>\n<li>You do not thank the person who washes your back or gives you a massage, but offer him\/her some kind of healing wishes in return.<\/li>\n<li>After the sauna you must rest and refrain from work. A light meal is taken, and a small drop of alcohol may be consumed if you wish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every smoke sauna is a little different and sauna customs can vary from one family to the next, so it would be wise to ask for assistance and observe the local customs carefully.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/savvusann.ee\/et\/tule-kulla\/turismisaunad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Smoke saunas in tourist farms of historical V\u00f5romaa and Setomaa<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those of you who have never been in a smoke sauna, some aspects might be surprising, unexpected or might even spoil the sauna experience.
