![Vyatskoe banyas. № 1<br />
<br />
Before the days of indoor plumbing, Russians built steam baths. After the incredibly intense heat (up to 200ºF, 90ºC) people jump in cold water or roll around [naked] in the snow. To this day, Russians love their banyas & go to what are often elaborate paid, public banyas. Banya traditions include smothering yourself in honey and/or coffee grounds & being beaten with dried birch branches.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/Variations-on-a-Theme/i-JXkhnbM/0/a26749cc/Ti/P1020236%28Orton%29-Ti.jpg)
