you forgot to mention the rocks around the stove, once the stove is hot the heat radiates into the rocks, most banya rocks are taken from the rivers or creeks after years of erosion to ensure the pureness of the rock. and you also failed to mention the steam one receives when the rocks are splashed. I just happened to have lived for 8 years in a village on Kodiak Island, and prefer to bath in a banya when one is available, the health advantages are well documented.
