This chapter adds relevant data by scientific journals that assess the benefits of the sweat lodge and give it much more serious and academically rigorous attention than was the case when I first researched the topic in the l990s. The notion of healing in the contemporary context is addressed in this section followed by a discussion on how it should be reintroduced as a means of helping the young with mental or emotional health issues also in Finland. I comment on what the sauna research would do well to investigate more deeply in terms of gender, body image issues and my topic—the mythical aspects and maternal symbolism of the sauna and its impact on empowering women.
