The difference between sauna and hamman :
The warming of the air through hot and porous stones generates a lasting heat. The small percentage of humidity allows the making of saunas with coniferous wood.
In the hamman, the vapor of water transmits heat. Walls can be covered with earthenware tiles, marbles or other types of stone.
Paradoxically, the sensation of heath is higher in a sauna than in a hamman.
