Sauna

Tried sauna for the first time.
Not exatly wat i would call great... hey.. how can u feel great when hot air goes into ur nose everytime n tries to choke ur respiratory system?
Oh well, was wondering what the water spray was for.. amusing myself by seeing how instantaneously the water vapourises. Is it to increase humidity or to lower the temperature?

Assume a) Humidity.
But then, wats the point of increasing humidity? So one will not sweat as much? Or to prevent hot dry air from scorching the lungs? Sounds pretty lame to me, I thought the point is for u to sweat more n burn ur fats? Anyway, the water u spray isnt significant to wat u sweat out too.

b) Temperature. How much can that littlewater lower the temperature by? By a weeny teeny fraction of a degree centigrade?

MY conclusion? Me think it is more of a toy, a toy to give the pyschological feeling that u are doing something inside to alleviate ur feeling of hot uncomfortedness. To make ur 15 minutes there more bearable. To create that misty effect. In other words, useless =).
