I'm an immigrant in Scandinavia, originally from a hot country, in my experience a 73C steam sauna is quite tolerable for a 2*15 min session.

The first time I was in a sauna after moving was a bit harder than after getting used to it but doable.

Nowadays I just love them, my friends and I built a couple of saunas to leave by the lake in their summerhouses, the cravings of going from hot -> very cold, and back to the heat is hard to explain, and I totally recommend it.



It's sensory overload as a reaction to cold dark grey murky winters.
