Traditional Banya Sauna

WHAT IS A
TRADITIONAL BANYA?
"SAUNA"

Banya is the cousin of Turkish hammam and Finnish sauna. However, there are some significant differences, in fact Banya is in between hammam and sauna. For example, Banya is more humid (around 40–70%) than a sauna (3–15%) but not as humid as hammam (95-99%). This level of humidity in Banya feels more natural therefore the heating is less aggressive and it has a deeper effect on the human body.

 

The other point of difference in Banya is aromatherapy. The water that used over the hot rocks usually would have a blend of essential oils or herbal brew. The aromatherapy in Banya helps to boost the immune system, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve sleep quality.

 

The correct combination of humidity, light steam and temperature in Banya provides a unique and effective environment for the authentic thermal treatment Parenie.

 

Banya is great place to relax, eat and drink, celebrate, do business or catch up with friends.

RITUAL OF PARENIE

Parenie is a traditional and invigorating thermal treatment which involves a leafy bundle of birch, oak or eucalyptus twigs (called venik) being brushed over your body.

It essentially heightens the Banya experience overall. Parenie treatment is done by manipulating the steam onto your skin and continuing skin stimulation by broom massage while the plants release essential oils. Ultimately, the result is a boost of circulation that will help relieve muscle tension, stress and joint pain. The oils also have an anti-inflammatory effect and able to calm the nervous system and reduce high blood pressure.

Once your treatment is over, you'll jump into refreshing pool. The change of temperatures has the duo effect of at first waking your entire body, before leaving you feeling incredibly relaxed. Afterwards you will lay down on lounges and covered with a throw. Time to relax. This final step lasts about 10-15mins and described as deep meditation or state of trance.

Please note: After the treatment you may also feel a tingling sensation and even slightly light headed.
