What is a Latvian Sauna Ritual?
A pirts is a traditional Latvian steam bath, similar in some ways to a sauna but distinct in its rituals and significance. It is typically a small wooden structure where heated stones create steam through the addition of water infused with herbs. Unlike modern saunas, which focus primarily on heat, the pirts experience incorporates massage, aromatic herbs, and ritualistic practices aimed at purifying the body and mind. The use of birch, oak, or juniper whisking (slapping the body with bundles of leaves) enhances circulation and detoxification.
