Capsaicin in some peppers, attacks cancer cells' mitochondria. They found capsaicin, an ingredient of jalapeno peppers, triggers cancer cell death by attacking mitochondria-the cells' energy-generating boiler rooms.

However, it is notable that, in modern Russian, a sauna is often called a Finnish Banya, though possibly only to distinguish it from other ethnic high-temperature bathing facilities such as Turkish baths referred to as Turkish Banya.
German Sauna. I live in the US, but travel to Germany a few times per year, usually for a couple of weeks at a time. I'd heard of the German Sauna, but until last year hadn't experienced it.In retrospect it makes perfect sense. It all started with the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.In planning the Olympic Village, Finland (strongly) requested sauna be available for their athletes.n the US I'm sure you'd be required to sign a multi-page liability release before being permitted to use the sauna, but not so in Germany. The aufgas procedure lasts about 10 minutes, and the room is at 100c for about 5 minutes of that; afterwards people file out and jump into the pool or take a cold shower.
