Chinese saunas, known locally as “蒸汽房” (zhēngqì fáng), vary from Western and Scandinavian saunas by including components of traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to being viewed as a health technique that aids in the detoxification of the body, Chinese practitioners seek to balance “Qi” (the person’s vital energy), which works in tandem with spiritual cleansing.
Today, the Chinese have innovated and one of the options explored is the mobile sauna, which appears as a practical option, allowing it to be experienced in different environments..
Saunas have historic roots in China, with the oldest references dating back to the Tang era (618-907), when steam baths were popular among the wealthy. The technique was influenced by Buddhist and Tibetan ideas on physical cleanliness. As a result, hot springs and steam rooms were popular in hilly and frigid locations, including northeast China. Sauna culture has expanded throughout time to incorporate other health methods like as acupuncture and moxibustion.
Saunas in China are often built using a mix of stone, bamboo and wood. Saunas in rural and colder places, such as Manchuria, are modest, rustic structures with stones heated by charcoal or wood to produce steam. The use of native herbs and essential oils, such as ginseng and ginger, produces a genuine experience based on traditional Chinese medicine.
What distinguishes Chinese saunas is its combination with traditional medicine. Many spas and health facilities provide therapeutic massages, acupuncture, and cupping treatments after utilizing the sauna. Furthermore, the use of herbal components in steam sessions is highly respected, with each combination designed to cure a specific problem, such as muscular discomfort or respiratory issues.
Saunas are becoming increasingly popular in China, particularly in cities and luxury resorts. In addition to traditional saunas, modern mobile saunas are gaining appeal due to their versatility in use in a number of contexts. High-end spas, like as those in Beijing and Shanghai, are combining traditional elements with modern technology and comfort.
