Clean and cool air outdoors.
文化背景
Lithuanians believe that 'gaivus oras' is essential for a good night's sleep. It is very common to leave a window slightly open (vėdinimas) even in winter. The seaside air in the Baltics is considered therapeutic due to the high iodine content and pine forest scents. There is a saying 'Nėra blogo oro, yra tik bloga apranga' (There is no bad weather, only bad clothing), encouraging people to seek 'gaivus oras' regardless of the season. After a hot sauna session, jumping into a lake or simply standing in the 'gaivus oras' is a vital part of the ritual.
