Today, Japanese saunas are called rock baths. The difference between it and the Korean sauna is that the Japanese sauna has a kang on which the experiencer can lie, and the Korean sauna has a row of stools on which the experiencer can sit. Relatively speaking, Japanese saunas are more comfortable.
Rock bath is an ancient and fashionable way of disease treatment and health preservation, which originated from the ancient but lost stone-cutting therapy in China and then prevailed in Japan.
Bathers need to lie on the warm natural mineral slate under the conditions of room temperature above 38 degrees, rock bed surface temperature above 42 degrees and humidity of 60%, and discharge a lot of body sweat under the action of strong far infrared rays and rich negative oxygen ions radiated by slate, so as to promote the metabolism of the body from the inside. Rock bath can reduce the burden on the body, detoxify and beautify the face, and the slimming effect is obvious. The main material of bedrock is natural ore plate which has more than 26 kinds of benefits to human body, and more energy can be released to human body through artificial action. The greatest effect of rock bath comes from far infrared rays and negative oxygen ions, which is incomparable to sauna, hot spring and yoga.
