Sauna traditions vary from nation to nation. Although lots of regions, including Ancient Rome, Finland, Turkey, and Russia, appreciate the effects of hot steam for health and well-being, their traditions are different, as well as the sauna accessories they use.
If you want to experience 100% Russian sauna (also known as a banya), you need more than just a pair of sauna slippers and a towel. Russian sauna tradition is to use special sauna whisks called veniks for massaging and enhancing blood circulation. In Univermag, we meet the wishes of our clients to try Russian banya and offer a comprehensive collection of true sauna whips.
The essence of the Russian sauna is to enjoy hot steam, which boosts blood circulation, opens skin pores, and warms up the body. At once, these effects become even more pronounced when you get intensive massaging with Russian bath leaves, which are called the venik. Russian banya venik is a bunch of tree or plant stems with leaves, which are thoroughly dried before use. Traditionally, for sauna massage, specific tree and plant species are used. Each of them has its distinctive healing properties.
Each sauna venik should be soaked in hot water before use, and this encloses its aromatic features and makes dried leaves softer to the skin.
If you want to try a venik massage, we have great news for you. At Univermag, we have a range of all-natural sauna whisks made in Russia in stock.
