CONT

La chaleur intense qui y règne – générée le plus souvent en vaporisant de l'eau sur des roches préchauffées – a pour but de favoriser la transpiration pour se débarrasser des toxines et de l'énergie négative associées au désordre et au déséquilibre. La cérémonie de la suerie a ainsi pour vocation de purifier le corps, l'esprit et l'âme.
