The KIHD Research On Sauna Use will Amaze
In the 1980s, researchers in Finland tracked 2,315 men over 20 years. What they found about sauna use changed the conversation about preventive health: → 65% lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer's in men who sauna-ed 4–7x per week → 46% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality → 63% lower risk of sudden cardiac death This wasn't a wellness blog. This was the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease study, published in Age and Ageing by Oxford University Press. We don't sell saunas as a medical treatment. But we do believe that how you choose to spend your evenings — every evening — compounds into something significant over a lifetime. Four sessions a week. Twenty minutes of heat. That's the habit the research points to. Our Finnish outdoor saunas with Harvia heaters are built to reach the temperatures used in that research: 79–100°C. That's authentic Finnish heat — not infrared, not warm air. Learn more at puresweatsauna.co.nz the 1980s, researchers in Finland tracked 2,315 men over 20 years.

Contrast Therapy- Hot sauna. Cold plunge. Repeat. Contrast therapy is one of the most powerful recovery rituals in the world and it's been part of Finnish culture for thousands of years. Heat opens you up. Cold sharpens you. The alternating between the two is where the real magic happens. Norepinephrine up 300%. Inflammation down. Sleep deeper. Recovery faster.

We built our home setup in Rotorua with the Luukas sauna and our stainless steel ice bath — and we use it 4–5 times a week as a family. It's the best thing on our property. 📍 Nationwide delivery across New Zealand 🇫🇮 Genuine Finnish heritage

🇫🇮 Coming home to Finland reminded us why we do what we do.

Over our visit, we experienced around 20 different saunas - from my sister's outdoor sauna to Finland's best ice swimming spot, from modern apartment saunas to the humble sauna at my mum's house.
Every single one was different. Yet the end result was always the same: more relaxed, calmer humans.
What struck us most? Finns aren't bothered about which wood is used or fancy specifications. What matters is the time spent with loved ones, making connections, and finding deep relaxation after a long day.
No loud music. No performance. Just blissful warmth, quiet chatting about life, and genuine presence.
This is the sauna culture we grew up with. This is what we're bringing to New Zealand - a thousand-year-old tradition of slowing down and just being.

Sauna Session #15+ This Trip 🔥
Just captured our apartment sauna here in Iso Syöte on video, and it’s another perfect example of what we keep telling you: in Finland, saunas aren’t special—they’re standard.
Houses have them. Cabins have them. Apartments like this? Yep, they have them too.
Sauna isn’t a once-in-a-while treat here. It’s part of the weekly routine. It’s at every celebration. It’s just… life.
Over 15 saunas on this trip alone. Hundreds—maybe thousands—over the years. We’ve sweated in tiny cabin saunas, sleek modern builds, and everything in between.
This isn’t just research. It’s how we live. And it’s why we’re so confident in what we do.
When you’ve experienced this many saunas, you know what works. You know what feels right. You know how to sell the perfect sauna for each client, install, and build them the Finnish way.

If only the rest of the world had the same access to sauna products as the Finns do! 🇫🇮
Walking through a Finnish hardware store is like stepping into sauna heaven – aisles dedicated to everything you need for the perfect sauna experience. It’s just part of their everyday life, and honestly, we’re a bit jealous!
At Pure Sweat Sauna, we’re on a mission to bring that same Finnish sauna culture to New Zealand. We’re proud to offer quality saunas that bring authentic relaxation and wellness right to your doorstep.
And guess what? We’re working on expanding our range to include sauna accessories in the future, so you’ll have everything you need for the ultimate sauna experience. Stay tuned! 🔥

There's something incredibly special about returning to your hometown and sharing the traditions that shaped you with your own children.

This video was taken at Musta Sauna in Raahe, a new sauna establishment combining traditional Finnish sauna and ice swimming in the same Gulf of Bothnia waters where I plunged in as a young person.

Watching our youngest, and our middle son take their brave dips into these freezing waters brought everything full circle.
Growing up here, ice swimming and sauna were just part of life. When we couldn't get to open water, we'd roll in the snow between sauna sessions for that same incredible contrast effect.

These experiences are exactly why we started Pure Sweat Sauna—to bring this powerful Finnish tradition to others.

The benefits are real: improved circulation, boosted immunity, mental clarity, and that unbeatable endorphin rush. And when combined with sauna? Pure magic. ✨

Pro tip for the ladies: Research shows women often benefit more from slightly warmer water (12-16°C) rather than near-freezing temps. Too cold can create excess stress—it's about finding your optimal temperature!

From the frozen Gulf of Bothnia to your backyard. 🧊🔥

"One of the things I absolutely love about Finland 🇫🇮 – walk into any larger supermarket and you'll find an entire aisle dedicated to sauna essentials! From whisks and brushes to luxurious scents and wooden buckets, everything you need for the perfect sauna experience is just part of the regular grocery run.

It's such a uniquely Finnish thing and I'm here for it! 🧖‍♀️✨

Where else in the world does your local supermarket treat sauna supplies as everyday basics?

We just had another great Finnish sauna session! 🇫🇮

This one made us reflect on something important: lighting can make or break your sauna experience. This particular sauna was a bit too bright for our liking—it really took away from that relaxing atmosphere you want.

We have two small solar lights outside our sauna back home, and honestly, that’s all we need. They create just the right amount of soft, ambient light for a peaceful sauna session without overpowering the vibe.
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best ones. 🔥✨

🇫🇮 Pure Sweat Sauna NZ Ltd is in Finland—the birthplace of sauna culture—gathering inspiration for our future outdoor and indoor sauna designs!

So far, we've experienced three different saunas, and while the same core principles apply, each offers its own unique experience.

We often hear questions like "How hot should a sauna get?" or comments such as "We only want a sauna that reaches close to 100°C." Here's the thing: saunas in Finland, just like ours back home, typically operate around 70-80°C. We focus on how the sauna feels rather than what the thermometer reads.

And here's a gentle reminder: water boils at 100°C, and the human body is largely made of water! 💧

It's all about finding that perfect balance of heat, humidity, and comfort for an authentic sauna experience.

When did we last sit together—really together—with no screens, no distractions, just us?

We schedule everything except what matters most. We optimize everything except our relationships.

Connection isn't a nice-to-have. It's ESSENTIAL. Studies on the world's healthiest, longest-living people consistently show: strong social bonds matter as much as diet or exercise.

The sauna has become our family's sacred space. In that heat, with nothing to do but BE together, something shifts. Real conversations happen. Bonds strengthen. Life slows down.

And here's the thing: wellness isn't seasonal. Summer or winter, your family needs this.
Affordable, authentic Finnish saunas designed for Kiwi families who value connection.

Another happy Pure Sweat Sauna customer 😀
I spent a lot of time researching the perfect sauna and considered countless options before choosing the Luukas Electric Sauna from Pure Sweat Saunas.

Their team were good to deal with and came up with creative shipping solutions that kept the cost low.

The build itself was very satisfying and enjoyable, pretty simple. Just gotta plan carefully and take your time. The quality of materials and Sauna components really stood out during assembly. All very well made.

Once the build was complete and I used it for the first time, it was an absolutely amazing experience. The natural wood
scent is beautiful, it heats quickly to a genuinely high temperature, and I’ve used it every single day ever since. I absolutely love it.

I couldn’t be happier with my purchase (The Luukas electric sauna) and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pure Sweat Saunas to anyone considering one. - Geoff S, Nelson
