Finnish Sauna

Heat That Heals From the Inside Out

Our Finnish sauna uses dry radiant heat to help your body sweat out toxins, boost circulation, and deeply relax — supporting physical detox and emotional unwinding.

What Is Finnish Sauna Therapy?

The Finnish sauna is a centuries-old tradition that uses dry heat to raise your core body temperature and activate the body’s natural detoxification systems. As you sweat, the heat stimulates circulation, reduces inflammation, and strengthens cardiovascular and immune function.

At Mountains of Hope, our dry sauna offers a quiet, cedar-lined space for daily cleansing and nervous system restoration. We often pair it with cold therapies for contrast and metabolic healing.

What It Helps Treat

  • Toxin buildup and sluggish detox pathways
  • Circulatory issues or water retention
  • Stress and nervous system overload
  • Muscle tension, soreness, and joint stiffness
  • Skin clarity and collagen support
  • Immune system resilience

It’s ideal for guests in fasting, emotional integration, or recovery from fatigue.

How It Works at Mountains of Hope

Guests are welcomed into a dry sauna heated to around 160–180°F, where they’ll sit or lie on cedar benches for 15–30 minutes depending on tolerance and goals. Sessions may include:

  • Optional aromatherapy or breath coaching
  • Hydration support before and after
  • Guided hot-cold contrast therapy with Cold Plunge or Ice Bath
  • Calm, private space for inward reflection

You’re encouraged to listen to your body and ease into the rhythm of heat and release.

Tired of treatments that weaken your immune system instead of strengthening it?
