Enjoying An Outdoor Wet Sauna

Many people think that all saunas are the same, but an outdoor wet sauna is different from a dry sauna. With an outdoor steam sauna kit, you have the added advantage of adding steam to the heat. This allows you to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of steam for clearing clogged pores and opening up your sweat glands. In a dry sauna, you do sweat a lot but because the air is dry rather than wet, the perspiration evaporates really fast.

In order to create steam, you need to look for outdoor sauna kits that allow wetting the rocks by pouring water over them. This produces the steam, which in turn keeps your body wet. The vapor you create by pouring the water over the hot volcanic stones does evaporate, but it evaporates inside the sauna. This helps to increase the humidity and to raise the temperature.



Most outdoor sauna users start each session with a dry sauna and then rest for a short period of time. After a shower, they then go back in with a bucket of water and a ladle to make the rocks wet, producing steam. You can control the amount of steam by controlling the amount of water you pour over the rocks that came with your kit. You decide how much or how little steam you need. You will definitely need another shower, go swimming or roll in the snow outdoors when you have finished the wet sauna session.

Some of the therapeutic benefits of wet saunas are:

  • Stimulates blood circulation
  • Helps you to breathe easier
  • Aids the heat in reducing tension in your muscles
  • The perspiration helps to rejuvenate your skin

It doesn’t matter what the temperature is because you control the amount of moisture and the heat inside the sauna. These kits for outdoor steam saunas are really affordable and are easy to use with the detailed instructions.
