- just raw heat
- heat with steam ("birch soup" dripped over hot rocks)
- heat with steam, accompanied by beating with birch веник
- any of the previous may be followed by immersion in cold water, or
rolling in snow or both???
- are there specific names for any of these types of sauna, or are
they lumped under one all-encompassing name or term. I imagine
that different regions have different terms.
All of the previous are done in баня, there's no special "saunas" for each of them. Usually hot rocks are dripped just with water.
