Different Forms of Sauna: Exploring the Diverse World of Heat Therapy

As global health awareness continues to rise, sauna — an ancient and effective form of heat therapy — has garnered growing attention from users worldwide. Different types of saunas, distinguished by their heating methods, user experiences, and functional features, meet the diverse needs of various customer groups. As a brand specializing in cold plunge pools, hot tubs, and sauna tents, OHO deeply understands the significance of offering various sauna solutions for different market applications. Today, let’s take a closer look at the main categories of saunas and their unique characteristics, helping you select the ideal solution for your project or market.

Traditional Finnish Sauna
The Traditional Finnish Sauna has a history dating back thousands of years and is renowned for its dry heat. Indoor temperatures typically range from 70°C to 100°C with low humidity. It uses electric or wood-burning stoves to heat stones, onto which water is occasionally poured to create bursts of steam that increase the perceived heat. Finnish saunas are popular among users seeking intense sweating, deep detoxification, and faster metabolic activation.

Steam Sauna
Steam Sauna, also known as “wet steam,” features lower temperatures, usually between 40°C and 50°C, but with humidity levels exceeding 90%. Steam generators continuously release large amounts of moist heat, saturating the air. This type is particularly suited for those prioritizing skin hydration and respiratory health. OHO’s portable steam sauna tents are based on this principle, offering easy setup for homes, gyms, and spas.

Infrared Sauna
Infrared Sauna utilizes infrared radiation to directly heat the human body rather than the air. Temperatures are typically maintained between 40°C and 60°C. Thanks to its deep penetration capability, infrared heat can reach subcutaneous tissues, providing profound warmth that aids muscle relaxation, joint pain relief, and improved blood circulation. Infrared saunas generally consume less energy, heat up faster, and offer a more comfortable experience — making them a rising trend in the global wellness market. OHO’s infrared sauna room series is highly acclaimed for its superior insulation design and easy installation.

Portable Sauna Tent
The Portable Sauna Tent has emerged as a popular flexible sauna solution in recent years. Lightweight, portable, and easy to assemble and store, these tents can be equipped with steam generators or infrared heaters, depending on the heating method. They are ideal for customers looking for quick setup, flexibility, and excellent cost performance. OHO continuously improves materials and craftsmanship to ensure outstanding insulation and a comfortable user experience.

Wooden Sauna Room
Wooden Sauna Rooms combine traditional aesthetics with modern craftsmanship. Made from durable woods such as cedar or hemlock, these structures are stable, naturally aromatic, and highly insulating. Whether installed in a private villa or a high-end fitness center, wooden saunas offer a premium heat therapy experience. OHO supports customized sizes and designs to meet different market demands.

The diverse forms of sauna offer a wide range of choices for customers with varying needs. Whether it’s the traditional Finnish sauna experience, the moisture-rich steam sauna, the deep-penetrating infrared sauna, or the convenient portable sauna tent, OHO provides reliable and professional solutions. As a company dedicated to the R&D and manufacturing of heat and cold therapy products, OHO remains committed to creating high-quality health and wellness experiences for customers around the world.

Looking ahead, we will continue expanding our product lines and innovating — so that more people can enjoy the comfort and benefits of heat therapy across all kinds of settings.
