The history of saunas traces back to over 2000 years ago in countries like Finland and Sweden. In the later years, the Finnish began to construct saunas above the ground. Initially, rocks were used to generate heat inside a room that equipped a vent to emit smoke. Around 3,000 years back, Mayans also used sweat houses to promote balanced health and spiritual practices. Saunas such as Forest Room are found to be established in diverse cultures across the world and are being used for relaxation, health, therapy, and rituals.
