The Power of Löyly + the Bucket Shower

In Finland — the birthplace of true sauna culture — löyly (the steam created when water hits the hot stones) is considered more than heat… it’s spiritual. The word itself comes from an old Finno-Ugric term meaning “spirit” or “life force.”

When you throw water on the rocks, you’re not just raising humidity. You’re awakening the room. You’re cleansing the body. You’re grounding the mind.

And traditionally, right after soaking in that sacred heat, Finns step out to a cold rinse or a bucket shower — a ritual known to increase circulation, sharpen the mind, and stabilize mood. It’s the most natural way to reset your nervous system.

At PLUNJ, we honor the roots of Nordic wellness — giving you a taste of the traditions of Finland.

Traditional vs. Infrared — What’s the Real Difference?

Traditional saunas run at 170°–200°, using real stones and real steam to create the deep, full-body heat your circulation, recovery, and mood actually respond to. Infrared runs much cooler (120°–155°) and warms the surface of your skin — more like sitting close to a space heater (a cozy one, but still a space heater).

Research shows that the higher temps of a traditional sauna activate more cardiovascular work, bigger endorphin release, and stronger heat-shock protein benefits for recovery and stress resilience. It’s the difference between “nice and warm” … and “my body is actually changing.”

Here’s what the research shows:
• 2–3× increase in growth hormone after traditional sauna heat-stress cycles (JAMA, 1986)
• Lower risk of fatal heart disease by up to 63% for frequent sauna users (University of Eastern Finland, 2015)
• Massive increase in heat shock proteins → better recovery, resilience, and cellular repair
• Greater cardiovascular conditioning because your heart rate rises to the equivalent of light–moderate exercise
• Steam + humidity = better detox pathways and improved skin, breathing, and circulation
• Improved mood + stress reduction from endorphins + norepinephrine boost

Infrared has its place.
Traditional is transformational and backed by science.

Stoicism isn’t “emotionless.”

It’s emotional mastery.

It’s the ancient practice of pausing → choosing → responding deliberately… not reacting impulsively.

Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus — they wrote about training your nervous system to stay centered when life gets loud.

And that’s EXACTLY why our Book Club at PLUNJ is reading The Daily Stoic this month — 366 short meditations on resilience, discipline, and inner strength… one page a day.

We’re not just reading a book — we’re practicing the skill.

Control the controllables.
Release what you can’t.
Return to center.

Want in?
We’re curating a small group to read this together + then meet at PLUNJ for a guided group session (sauna + cold + journaling + reflection).

DM “BOOK CLUB” for details. 📖❄️🔥

Meet JC!!

JC served in the army and works up on base. He is FULL of light and energy. Every guest that ever is in a session with him always tells me how much they talked and learned from JC, they mention how happy and positive he is and in turn makes them that same way.

About PLUNJ, He says that it always puts him in a good mood and gives him energy. He is a runner and always comes to get in the cold before the run so he can have that energy boost.

We love JC!!!

Have you ever felt the joy that comes from contrast therapy?

It’s not just in your head — it’s pure neurochemistry.

Cold exposure spikes your dopamine, boosting mood, motivation, and energy. At the same time, the hot–cold shift triggers a surge of norepinephrine, which sharpens focus, lifts your mood, and helps lower stress.

So next time you need a mood boost come experience the joy!!
