Greetings friends of sauna. I’ve joined the team here as a contributor and in this first post I’d simply like to share my favorite Finnish proverb.

“Jos ei viina, terva ja sauna auta, niin tauti on kuolemaksi.”

Translation: “If tar, liquor and sauna will not be of help the disease is fatal.”

This rings true for me, from head cold to hangover. I’m yet to experience an ailment for which the sauna doesn’t provide some measure of relief.

Looking forward to many more posts with Saunatimes as we lead the charge to spread sauna culture through the magic interweb.

Cheers
