Saunavasta

I made a traditional vasta for sauna. People from Western side of Finland would call that vihta though. It is a bunch of very thin birch branches with leaves tied together. It is used by hitting yourself (somewhat gently) with it. It's supposed to have a massaging, skin cleaning and relaxing effect.
