Hau! I enjoyed your web site on native american sweat's.I am of Oglala Lakota(sioux)I am with the Eagle Bear clan here in Iowa.I am also a carrier or the sacred pipe.The sweat lodge we run is very close with each member of the clan.We are carefull about having too many outsiders join in,because of bad medicine(Negitive Energy) I canmake our water pourer very sick.We do hold open sweats.For people who are just curious.Some times they don't make it past the second door(LOL).But we beleive in the sacred ways,and the way of our mother earth.Being rebourn.We need to edgucate our young people and teach them of the old way's.It might keep them out of trouble(LOL).If any one would like to talk about the sweat lodge,or any other interest of this Way of life style,fell free to E-mail me.

Hi, nobody seems aware of the Porchester baths in londons Bayswater area.The baths built in the early 1920's is up and still generating steam.

Really enjoyed your web site on the Sauna. There are 1 or 2 old Finnish saunas in Lanesville, Massachusetts, near Gloucester, MA. which a friend and I enjoyed a few years back. I understand the Finnish moved to this part of the U.S.A. because of the rock quarrying jobs. Looking forward to your book on Japanese baths. I lived in Japan for two years, and the hot baths are one of my fondest memories.

Peter Ibsen asked in November if any body knew a steam bath in West London. Porchester Hall (Porchester Bridge Road, Bayswater)Men on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday 10a.m. until 9.30p.m.ish Tuesday,Thursday,Sunday up to 4.00 p.m. Women. Sunday after 4p.m. mixed (swimwear obligatory for mixed) Porchester is a lovely Edwardian bath with 2x steam rooms 2x dry heat rooms - an old style shvitz with a completely assorted clientele. You know..... come in stressed, moody,then stand in the middle of the steam and sigh.....
Anders joders@enteract.com from Chicago IL USA said on 22:49:46 Feb/04/2002:
Fun to go through your sweat site! Coming from a Swedish family, I especially appreciated the rivalry and misperceptions between the Finns and Swedes. It reminded me of a joke I heard in Sweden with the German, Finn and American getting captured by headhunters and thrown in a boiling caldron, with the Finn responding a half an hour later: Do you have a towel? I also enjoyed a hamman in Istanbul, but the modesty was difficult to get used to. Then I discovered that the heat is different than a sauna by almost blacking out, getting carried outby two small men, who then tried to perform CPR on me and squirt lemon juice up my nose. FYI for those interested in Chicago, there's a couple of legit ethnic bath houses worth checking out--Division Street Baths (Russian) and Paradise Bath on W. Montrose (Korean). There's also a group in Oak Park called the Shem Center that does ritualized Native American sweat lodges twice a year. To answer the Germans question about Scandinavian modesty--I can speak for the Swedes, who are more private than modest. With a lot of land, they don't have a culture of public nudity like in Germany. Mixed saunas among friends are common, but segrated at public pools, etc. But if a hotel only has one suana it will be mixed. Anyway, it would be great to strengthen the "sweat" culture in the US, especially here in the prudish Midwest. In the meantime, if and when I travel, I'll follow your example to find the good local sweat! BareBones barebones@mindspring.com from Phoenix AZ United States of America said on 20:36:37 Jul/31/2001:

Dear Mikkel: Just stumbled on your site while going though pages I'd torn from old computer magazines. Since I'm an old beatnik, CyberBohemia grabbed my attention. Then I was really hooked by "The Castle." Love castles, and actually live in one of my own design and creation. If you'd like to take a look at the castle, go to www.fakefruit.com and scroll to the bottom of the Thumb Nail page. Enjoyed your faire pictures. Mike /:o)

Good morning. I am searching for a proven/reliable design for a wood-fired sauna stove, with a water reservoir (stainless steel saddle tank). Can you please direct me to a plan? We are building a bath/bunkhouse, which will include a 10x10 sauna room. We would like to load the stove through an exterior all, under an extended eave (this means we need a "throat" extension from the front of the stove). Looking forward to receiving your reply, with thanks...... Tom

Thank you for the very descriptive hammam experience. My own memory of my one and only turkish bathexperience remains one of my favorite travel memories. I am currently trying to put together information on building a small but public/private hammam here in Portugal. I would particularly like to know of any books on design and building that you could recommend. I am interested in recreating a very traditional ambience and using materials appropriate to creating that ambience. Thank you in advance for any information that you can provide.

Good job on the site, I've saved parts of it to hard copy for my more "cautious" city guests. Here in northern Michigan (lower penninsula) we sauna often and I regularly have Wednesday and Sunday crowds converge to sweat and feast afterwards. It truly is the social event in winter especially and though my sauna is small (wood fired) it draws a crowd because of a rushing river just 30 feet away that does not ice over, no nieghbors at all, surrounded by state and protected lands. There are at least 5 other saunas (all wood fired) in my little social circle here in the north but none of them have access to flowing (or any) water, just buckets or snow and one that has a cast iron tub filled for each sauna. I find the flowing water to be an essential aspect of the sweat, either because of the cleansing of mind, body and soul or the euphoric rush that comes from the immersion. Once again an excellent site and good information. I too, would like to know if/when your book is reprinted. I have one picture of my sauna on my web page and it can be viewed at: www.deepwoodpress.com Thanks for the morning reading.... Chad

Hey Mikkel! What a wonderful sauna page! My father's side of the family is 100% Finnish and I remember well,as a child, sitting in my Uncle's sauna at the summer cottage in Bessemer, Michigan. Then taking a cold dip in the nearly frozen lake or just a roll in the snow. What wonderful memories. And now I'm writing a college paper on the Suomalainen baths. Thanks for sharing your story telling talents. Bravo! Shelly Moloney

This is the first time I have managed to have a sauna and a pool in the same complex and after months of building it is complete.

Greetings sweat folks. I am so glad that I found this site, because I need advice on how to build a small turkish bath. I'll use geosource radiant heat and an electric steam generator instead of a fire to create it. Any advice or suggestions on where to gather specific information would be greatly appreciated. Materials, size, features, lighting, cleaning, heating, costs, etc..thanks.

Great information Mikkel. Thank you so very much for your website. I look forward to getting a copy of your new edition of SWEAT. My question is this: I want to build a personal hammam in the new house that my girlfriend and I are going to build. We are using geothermal heat (groundsource via a heat pump) so the cost to heat it will be minimal and non-polluting. If you can direct me to any sources of info or people with experience with constructing small hammams, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Jeff.

But some information for you too: Did you know that that there is in Finland a Smoke Sauna museum?? It is located in central Finland in small village called Muurame. It is usually open from June to August every sommer. And in the area there is 27 ORIGINAL smokesaunas, an exhibition of finnish saunahistory and of course a saunashop! For more information go visit www.Muurame.fi and go to link SaunakylŠ. The pages are at the moment in english,finnish and german. Let's keep the sauna tradition strong! Timo JŠŠskelŠ ¤:)

That is what I call a SITE. That is magic to be able to meet the sensitivity of other people from all over the world, thank you very much for the good time I had on your site Mikkel. Well done for the quality, and the information, it is very complete, I have learnt a lot. I am preparing and doing arabic hammam (my father is from Morocco) and I am doing oriental waxing too (caramel or honey paste), do you know where I could get information (books, sites,...) on the origin of this treatment, and on oriental beauty treatments, I am studying beauty therapy, and I would like to do my final assessment on this subject, as nobody seems to know about ethnocosmetology. Thank you in advance if you can help me. Virginie

art is beautiful experience9@hotmail.com from nottingham UK said on 11:55:10 Jan/16/1999:
More than helpful was the information I found on this site about sweat (sauna and sweatlodge). In my coming art-project I have the idea to build a sauna myself and thanks to this information I will realize this project (called experience9) pretty soon. This piece exists out of three parts, beginning with `endurance`. In this piece I will stay in a sauna until it will become unbearable. I might start to hallucinate, I might faint, I don't know. While this is an experiment to the limits of the body I am just as uncertain to what will happen as you are. I will video this event with a security-camera to make it live showable in the living room (`cause the sauna I build in my back garden). The second piece is the piece I would like to call `communication`. In this piece I invite strangers to share the space with me. We might be both naked. And instead of offering the audience a `passive enjoyment` I will offer them a (inter)active participation, an experience. I bring people together as well. the third piece is called `reflection` in which I use the video-images to make a video-work. Probably with addition of sounds and different projectors. I am looking forward to realize this project and I am very interested in any reaction, so please feel free to e-mail me. For the rest I would like to say that I am very pleased with the warmth and quality of the photographs of Mikkel Aaland. I really love those pictures, thanks a lot for having those beautiful eyes! Cheers!

Thanks for the excellent site you've got! For the last three months I've been forced to live without an access to a proper Finnish Sauna. Now, as I'm about to fly back home in a week for Christmas, I've been surfin' in the web looking for good sites about saunas and other stuff like that. I was delighted when I finally ended up in your site, which clearly is the best one, at least when comes to saunas. I'm studying in Manchester and anxious to know where to find a good sauna around in here. I've also planned to form a Finnish Sauna Society to celebrate Scandinavian insanity and extreme way of living! It would be great to take people from all around the Globe to Finnish Sauna and to teach them a bit of our northern culture. I believe it could a good way to overcome racial and cultural suspicions, in a small scale at least, for different people could experience something quite unusual and become more aware of great possibilities unknown cultures could offer them. So, if there are any people out there who might know something about saunas in the Northwest of England or have other ideas or comments about the matter, I'd love to here from you! And to all of my friends in Finland: Heat up the kiaus! I'm on my way there!!

Photoshop for the Web. Great book - better than all the rest! I loved this book. I discovered an infinite number of new tricks using the Photoshop tools I already knew. Everything was spelled out clearly as the what the tip or procedure will accomplish, how to accomplish it in Photoshop with step-by-step instructions and why it works in the first place. Plus the book is well-organized so I can quickly find and re-find what I was after. There are many ways to accomplish the same end in Photoshop. This book shows some of the most clever and efficient ways to prepare graphics for the Web. Even the experts, such as the professional web designers surveyed from the book, could benefit from Photoshop for the Web. As both a bookseller and web consultant, I recommend this book over the rest.

I really enjoyed reading about the sweat lodge in Chico.(the one written in the 70's. I would of hoped to have read more about them, and also locations of people who welcome strangers to sweat with them. Then again they would probably end up having a numerous amount of people at their door steps.I am in the Southern California area, and I really want to be part of a ceremony. Problem is I just moved out here and I don't know many people who have them . I f you can send me any info I would really appreciate it....... Thanks....

What a joy to find your wonderful Web site! We downloaded several items. We would love it if you could e-mail us when you get the rest of your site finished, i.e. health benefits of sweats and whatever else you said you were working on. Thank you so much for sharing your exploits with us.
During the summer I work In Naantali, near Turku, Finland. I, along with my best friends work in The Moominworld, on the island of Vaumlski. We live in the island's traditional village to show tourists what life in Finland has been like. Las spring me and Markku Salonen, The "father" of the village, built the best sauna in the world, its made of logs and covered with peat. It's a reconstruction of what sauna's and other buildings used to be a long long time ago, with an exception that the "kiuas" is a little bit more modern. You are welcome to test our sauna this coming summer and to come see how it was like without electricity, matches, etc. You can ask more about practical things here: http://www.webtravel.fi/area/naantali/fdefault.htm

I started taking sauna in the upper peninsula of Michigan when I was 1 month old.I have built smoke saunas, gas and wood. I had a roar reading about the modern complexities of building a room of the "right" size and all the fancy fru-fru.The finlanders who came the UP in the 1890's and 1900's brought their memories of home and built wonderful sauna's. I have been in saunas with handhewn dovetailed cornered logs and a hand built rock stove and chimney with birch benches worn smooth with years of sweaty buttocks. It was never a big deal, just something you did on Saturday night. In the restoration of Old Victoria near Rockland, MI is a sauna that was built for the use of the crew. During the 1900 to 20's there was a public sauna run for the use of the miners. It is fun to travel in the UP with my big city friends listen to them comment on the large "outhouses" on people's property. They could not tell the difference by size of the prizy vs the outhouse.
Decent job! done on the history of the sauna. Learned some new things. Oh, when my brothers and I created the 300 club. We would heat the sauna up to 200 plus degrees and then go outside in the snow when the wind-chill got down to 100 below. It sure felt good...
