As the rain stops and the weather turns chillier,

these days make me feel a bit uneasy.

Don't you want to sweat it out in a warm place?

I heard that a new charcoal sauna opened in Jincheon, Chungbuk last July,

so I rushed over to the Saenggeo Jincheon Charcoal Healing Center.

A place where healing meets wellness.

The Saenggeo Jincheon Charcoal Healing Center combines

traditional charcoal kilns with modern jjimjilbang (Korean sauna).

The name 'Healing' comes from a blend of healing and wellness.

After experiencing it myself, I felt both my body and mind

becoming healthier, which made the name resonate well.

What makes this place special is that

it’s not just a sauna; it’s also a site where real charcoal is produced.

Thus, while enjoying the charcoal sauna,

you can catch a glimpse of the charcoal-making process.

Upon entering the center,

I found various charcoal-based products like charcoal, herbal extracts, and soaps displayed and for sale.

I felt the deep energy of Jincheon charcoal right from the entrance.

After paying at the counter,

I received my sauna outfit and headed to the changing room and shower area.

The changing and shower rooms were very clean.

They provided hairdryers and body lotion,

but only soap was available in the shower area.

I recommend bringing your own personal toiletries like shampoo and body wash.

At the entrance to the charcoal sauna,

there's a snack corner that enhances the sauna experience.

From ramen to sausages, boiled eggs, dumplings,

and refreshing ice cream, it was filled with delicious snacks.

After sweating it out, enjoying a cool drink and a boiled egg

was absolutely delightful.

Please note that to maintain a pleasant environment,

bringing outside food is restricted.

However, drinks in personal tumblers and simple meals in sealed containers are allowed.

Enjoying the Charcoal Sauna: Tips

The sauna has rooms divided by temperature: low, medium, high,

cooling, and flower rooms,

allowing you to enjoy your time at your preferred temperature.

It’s advisable to bring socks as the sauna floor can be hot.

After sauna sessions, you can relax on the benches outside.

I also tried the charcoal fire room,

where I could enjoy a campfire-like experience.

With various sauna options available,

I was completely satisfied.

I happened to visit on a charcoal extraction day,

enjoying the warmth of the charcoal outdoors.

It was a true healing experience.

If you visit on Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday,

you can enjoy this unique outdoor charcoal experience.

As the cool winds of the season blow,

sweating it out in the charcoal sauna made me feel lighter and clearer.

If you want to share warm moments and enjoy wellness this weekend,

how about embarking on a warm journey to the Saenggeo Jincheon Charcoal Healing Center?
