In the deciduous forests of southern #Estonia, small cabins made of logs layered with moss dot the countryside. These are the smoke saunas — places to bathe bodies and cleanse spirits. Generations of Estonian families have marked the special occasions of life and death and healing in these small cottages and communal sweats. The oldest written references to the practice date back to at least the 13th century, and @unesco includes the tradition as a part of “the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.” And so for 3 to 5 hours at a time, Estonians breathe deeply, relax, and feel the heat of the smoke sauna, then plunge into the chill of a cold pond nearby. The tradition is productive, too: It turns freshly slaughtered livestock and wildlife into smoked meat to be eaten for a post-sauna meal. Joakim Eskildsen photographed visitors gathering bouquets of leaves from the woods that surround the Mooska smoke sauna in #Vorumaa; once inside the hot cabin, a caretaker whisked their skin with the bouquets.
