A Saint
Thomas refers to a method of washing oneself that is fairly similar to showering and bathing at the same
time.
One fills their bathtub with up to 6 inches of water. Said water is exceptionally
hot, but nevertheless, at a temperature the practicer can comfortably stay in. Then, one turns on the shower, moves it to the wall close to them, and lies down on their back in the bathtub for most of the
time. The bathroom should get steamy and extremely humid, which is part of the pleasure.
The
name was chosen due to how the Caribbean island of Saint
Thomas was a former Danish colony. Denmark is considered to be a Northern European country, and the sauna originated in Finland, a country also in Northern Europe. This method is likened to a sauna, and also likened to the tropical, humid climate of many Caribbean regions.
