I'm Finnish and can honestly say that is not what people usually do in a sauna.
That is an ancient treatment called ''kuppaaminen'' which was common in Finland long time ago and very few people still do it. It was believed that kuppaaminen removed the ''bad blood'' out of your body and it was supposed to cure illnesses.
