How to select a vasta?

  1. Birch

Most common.

Sharp leaves break the skin with mild force.

Gives skin a pleasant smell.

Adds oils for protective layer.

Best birch vihta comes from young leaves around June.

Use dried, frozen or fresh.

2. Oak

Doesn’t leave smell.

Can be used with more force.

3. Juniper

Rare occasions. No force needed.

Vihta is a spell of the forest

Using vihta cleans your skin, heals it, and gives you a protective layer.

Vihta is best done with a friend or a pro.

However there is nothing wrong in using it alone either.

Dried vihta’s best to soak in hot water for an approximately an hour.

Find a local vihta source.
