Winter Wellness: At-Home Saunas for Every Living Situation

  • Written by The Times

In recent years, the barrel sauna has emerged as a popular wellness trend, captivating health, and design enthusiasts alike with its unique aesthetic and a myriad of health benefits. Originating from the traditional Finnish sauna, barrel saunas have become a sought-after addition to modern homes, with a growing number of homeowners opting to embrace this trend for relaxation and well-being.

Looking to add one to your own home? If you have the outdoor space for it, Luxo Living's 4-person Luola Barrel Sauna ($6,489) is fantastic for the whole family and an aesthetic addition to your Zen backyard dream. This pine fixture can be heated using a 6kw Harvia heater or a wood burning stove for an absolute relaxation.

If you have slightly less outdoor space, Luxo Living also offers a Luola 2-person barrel sauna ($5,259) that provides all the same health benefits and aesthetic appeal. Even better, the barrel saunas is more compact making them a popular choice for homeowners with limited space, as they can be easily installed in gardens and decks.  

One of the primary attractions of barrel saunas lies in their health benefits. These saunas utilize a distinctive circular shape that allows for better heat circulation, resulting in a more efficient and comfortable sauna experience. The enclosed design ensures that the heat remains evenly distributed, enveloping users in a cocoon of warmth. The high heat promotes relaxation, helping to soothe muscle tension and reduce stress levels, while the sweating process helps to detoxify the body by flushing out toxins and impurities. 

As more individuals seek solace and rejuvenation in the comfort of their homes, the growing trend of barrel saunas shows no sign of slowing down. With their fusion of health benefits and tasteful design, barrel saunas are undoubtedly here to stay, empowering homeowners to embark on a journey of relaxation and well-being right in their own backyards.
