One of the most popular wellness practices in North America has its roots in Northern Europe. Saunas, those sweat-inducing rooms found in hotels and health clubs around the world, were invented in Finland. Some Finns still use the historic method of heating rocks with a wood fire in an enclosed room for several hours before letting out the smoke and entering the room. Many locals also use vasta, a bundle of birch leaves and twigs that are gently slapped against the skin. Even without these traditional extras, the detoxification benefits of saunas are well documented.

Take an African vacation at Campi Ya Kanzi.
This private Kenyan reserve is located a mere 20 miles from Mount Kiliminjaro, and every aspect of the camp was designed to be environmentally friendly. It was built using local materials — and not a single tree was cut. Water comes from rain collection and gray water is recycled, water is heated by solar panels, and food is cooked using an eco-friendly charcoal made from coffee husks. But most importantly, Campi Ya Kanzi works in partnership with the Maasai community and donates a portion of its proceeds to local preservation programs.
