Linden Leaf Venik for Russian Sauna

Veniks can either be dried or fresh and are most commonly made out of birch or oak, though other species of tree are also used. Each type of venik has its own set of health benefits and is used accordingly. The leaves of linden are soft and gentle. Linden (lime-tree) sauna whisk has Vitamin C that improves immune system.
