How to bathe in your sauna, Eero's Helsinki sauna tour, and Cardamom Bread

In this episode of "The Upper Bench," we dive into the experience of sauna bathing, washing in the sauna, and how these traditions are still very much alive in Finland. Join us as we discuss the differences between wood-burning and electric saunas, the best way to keep clean in the sauna, and unique setups in Finnish apartments. Whether you’re throwing water onto the rocks or stepping into the rain post-sauna, we cover the full spectrum of authentic sauna life.
