Traditional Finnish Sauna with Smartphone Control

There’s something timeless about a traditional Finnish sauna: the scent of cedar, the slow rise of steam, the quiet that fills the air as heat settles into the body. Now, imagine experiencing that ritual with the ease of modern technology. With smartphone-controlled traditional Finnish saunas, Glow Saunas is redefining wellness at home fusing ancient practice with contemporary comfort.

This isn’t just a sauna. It’s a premium, connected sanctuary made for the modern Australian lifestyle.

What Makes a Traditional Finnish Sauna Special?

Unlike infrared cabins, traditional Finnish saunas rely on a high-heat environment (typically 70–100°C) and steam, created by pouring water over heated stones. This practice has been part of Nordic culture for centuries, known for supporting cardiovascular health, improving circulation, and fostering mental clarity.

Studies from the University of Eastern Finland have shown that frequent sauna use is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke. One large-scale study found that men who used a sauna 4-7 times per week had a 50% lower risk of fatal cardiovascular disease compared to those who used it once weekly [source].

The deep, passive heat also encourages relaxation, reduces muscle tension, and supports better sleep [source].

Glow Saunas honours this tradition with locally-available, premium-grade saunas—crafted in beautiful cedar or spruce and designed to suit both indoor and outdoor Australian homes.

Introducing Smart Control: Wellness, Now at Your Fingertips

Traditional Sauna, Modern Benefits: Backed by Science

The science behind sauna bathing is extensive. Clinical trials have shown that regular use of traditional saunas may:

  • Lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure 
  • Enhance vascular function and reduce inflammation
  • Improve mood through endorphin release
  • Support long-term cardiovascular and respiratory health

Beyond cardiovascular advantages, saunas have been linked to reduced risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in long-term observational studies [source].
