In China, it is difficult for traditional sauna to enter the family. Why?

This is because the inherent characteristics of traditional steam sauna are quite unsuitable for Chinese families.

Traditional saunas use water to pour on hot stones to produce a lot of steam, so they can only be placed in the bathroom. But our family toilet is generally designed more compact, it is difficult to have space for traditional steam sauna, just this point, it greatly limits the popularity of traditional sauna.

In the traditional sauna room, many people can not enjoy the high temperature and depression. This is because it takes more than 100 degrees Celsius to turn water into steam, which can greatly increase the burden on the heart and make delicate skin and sensitive respiratory tract have a strong burning sensation, which is difficult for women, children, the elderly or frail people to tolerate. The traditional sauna originated in the Nordic countries, which is close to the Arctic Circle and ice and snow. The high temperature of the traditional sauna is very suitable for their special geographical environment.

The traditional sauna has a large power, which is 3-6 kW, easily exceeding the daily electricity load of our families. Because it takes a lot of heat to convert water into steam, it consumes a lot of electricity. In traditional saunas, water is poured on a red-hot electric stove, which will cause great potential safety hazards. Because splashed hot water can burn the skin, there is also the risk of electric shock and short circuit. The traditional sauna occupies a large area, because the sauna stove should be placed independently. Because of safety factors, people should stay away from the electric stove, which requires that the sauna room should not be too small.

This shows that Chinese families do not like sauna, but traditional sauna into the family has many inconveniences.
