This Steam Sauna Birch Whisk is 20" and 4oz. It is a bundle of young birch tree twigs that are used as a traditional Finnish massage.
In the traditional banya/saunas the whisk is referred to as venik in Russian and vihta in Finland. It's benefits have been well known for centuries and die-hard sauna bathers still use them today.
After being doused or dipped in warm water, the whisk is lightly lashed or slapped against the skin. This helps the body release toxins and lactic acid to the surface of the skin where it is perspired out of the body.
It helps relieve joint and muscle pain after workouts or hard work, improved blood circulation helps with wound healing and clearing of the skin. The whisk can help with respiratory relief while loosening mucus and phlegm from the bronchial passages. This is good for smokers or those with asthma.
Its always helpful when you can have another sauna bather use the whisk on you while you relax.
