As far as wellness hacks go, saunas are nothing new. History tells us that the tradition of heating ourselves until we sweat dates back to the Bronze Age, with sweat houses, saunas and sweat lodges an integral part of many ancient communities, from Western civilisations to Native American culture.
Fast forward a few thousand years and saunas are having a moment. No longer simply associated with Northern European countries (Finland has been dubbed the sauna capital of the world), it's becoming commonplace to find saunas pretty much everywhere. That said, you'd usually expect to go to a spa or a swanky country house to use one.
