Description
Sweathouse: The Rediscovery of Ireland's Ancient Sauna Tradition is Rosanna Cooney's hardback account of a story 3,000 years in the making. Saunas are fast becoming vibrant community spaces across Ireland, drawing thousands to the elemental power of fire, water, steam and sweat, yet this so-called new trend has deep roots in Irish history. Cooney uncovers the forgotten legacy of the country's ancient stone sweathouses, blending thorough research with rich personal storytelling, and reveals Ireland's surprising role in the global story of sweat bathing. Travelling across Europe to some of the world's most magical sauna cultures, she gathers insights and rituals that many bathers associate with physical, mental and spiritual renewal. Part cultural exploration and part practical guide, it was published by Irelandia Press in 2025.
