Sauna scents play a significant role in creating the perfect sauna experience. Natural sauna scents not only enhance the atmosphere, but also promote health and well-being effectively. One of the most popular and effective options is menthol scent. In this article, we will explain why menthol is one of the best natural sauna scents.

Why is natural menthol the best choice for sauna fragrance?

Fresh and invigorating effect
Menthol is particularly known for its fresh, pleasantly cool aroma. Its scent helps open up airways, relieves congestion, and provides a pleasant feeling of freshness throughout the body. This makes menthol an excellent choice for a sauna scent, especially during flu season or to help relieve allergy symptoms.

Naturalness and safety
Many commercial sauna scents contain artificial ingredients or chemicals. Natural Sauna Menthol, on the other hand, is a completely natural product, making it a safe choice for the whole family. Natural sauna scents also reduce the risk of allergies and irritation symptoms.

Relaxation and stress relief
Menthol has been shown to have a calming effect on the body and mind. Using it as a sauna scent helps reduce stress, relax and improve sleep quality. Sauna Menthol can therefore significantly enhance the relaxing effect of a sauna.

Ease of use and versatility
Using menthol crystals as a sauna scent is quick and easy. You can use them in a sauna tub, directly in a sauna bucket with water, or even make fresh sauna ice that slowly releases the refreshing scent of menthol while you are in the sauna.

Ecological choice
By choosing natural menthol, you are also making an environmentally friendly decision. Menthol crystals are completely biodegradable and do not burden the environment, unlike many synthetic products. Sauna Menthol is made from 100% natural ingredients.

Menthol – an excellent sauna scent for every sauna

Natural menthol is a versatile, effective and ecological way to enhance your sauna experience. Its numerous health and well-being benefits make it the best choice for sauna fragrance.

Liquid or solid sauna fragrance – What's the difference?

Sauna scents make a sauna experience an experience. They add atmosphere to the sauna, freshen your breath and even offer therapeutic effects. But with scents available in different forms – especially liquid and solid – many sauna users wonder which option is better for their own use. In this blog post, we compare liquid and solid sauna scents. Both options work great, but their differences may affect which one is right for your sauna moment. 1. Composition and method of use Liquid sauna fragrances are typically fragrances mixed with essential oils or a water base. They are added to the sauna water a few drops at a time. Solid sauna fragrances , such as menthol crystals , are substances in crystallized form that are added either directly to the sauna heater or to the sauna water. Practical difference: Liquid fragrance usually requires careful mixing with water. Solid sauna ice crystals may dissolve more slowly, but are very effective even in small quantities. 2. Power and scent intensity Menthol crystals are very pure and powerful, often only 1-3 crystals are enough for the entire sauna session. The scent spreads quickly and remains consistent for a longer time. Many people experience the refreshing effect of menthol from the first breath during sauna bathing. Liquid sauna scents can be milder or evaporate quickly, and they often need to be added several times during the sauna session. Many people find liquid sauna scents to be too mild in places and give feedback that they have to be used constantly and a lot, which becomes expensive in the long run. Which one is better? If you want a strong, fresh, and long-lasting scent , menthol crystals are a more effective option. If you're looking for a softer, more subtle vibe , a liquid fragrance may be better. 3. Ease of use and storage Solid fragrances (like Sauna menthol crystals) are long-lasting, easy to store, and very effective. They don't require large amounts of use, and they retain their effectiveness for a long time when stored in a closed container or airtight bag. Liquid fragrances can evaporate over time, and bottles can leak if not stored carefully in an upright position. The pros and cons: Menthol crystals : long shelf life, no leakage, precise dosing Liquid fragrances : require mixing, more sensitive to light and heat 4. Applications and atmosphere Menthol crystals are especially popular in saunas where you want to: makes breathing easier have a cooling effect on the skin create a fresh, cleansing atmosphere Liquid fragrances may be suitable for saunas that want to: floral, citrus or woody scents subtle world of smells mix several scents together There are many different types of sauna scents and everyone is sure to find the right version for their sauna. By trying and testing, you usually find out which sauna scent is best for you. Sauna ice, or menthol crystals, differ from traditional sauna scents not only because of their effectiveness, but also because of their long-lasting effect.

5 reasons to use menthol in the sauna – from respiratory relaxation

A Finnish sauna is a place to relax, cleanse and recharge your batteries. Many sauna users like to complement the experience with various sauna scents, one of the most popular of which is menthol. Menthol crystals have quickly become popular among sauna scents, and for good reason, as menthol not only smells fresh, but also brings many tangible health benefits to the sauna experience. Here are five good reasons to include menthol in your next sauna session. 1. Clears the airways One of the most well-known effects of menthol is its ability to open up blocked airways very effectively. Menthol crystals (sauna ice) dissolve in hot sauna water and create a refreshing vapor that helps you breathe easier. This makes menthol especially popular during flu season or when you feel congested or have allergy symptoms. Many people experience relief after just the first breath. 2. Cools and refreshes the body Although the sauna itself is a hot and sweaty place, the menthol sauna scent provides a contrast. It creates a cool feeling on the skin, which invigorates and makes you feel pleasantly fresh. This cooling effect occurs when menthol activates the skin's cold receptors. Many athletes and active people use menthol in the sauna to support recovery precisely because of this property. Menthol is also used as part of sports performance in various forms such as sprays, creams or simply by inhaling it. 3. Relaxes the body and mind The scent of menthol also affects your mood. Its freshness combined with the soothing effect of the sauna heat helps relieve stress and tension. Breathing deepens, muscles relax and the mind calms down. Menthol brings a spa-like atmosphere to the sauna, making an ordinary sauna session a more luxurious and holistic experience. 4. A natural and effective alternative to synthetic fragrances Many sauna scents contain synthetic ingredients or strong fragrances that are not suitable for everyone. Menthol Crystals are pure, crystallized menthol (Mentha Arvensis) – a natural substance extracted from the leaves of the beach mint. It is effective even in small amounts and does not contain additives or artificial fragrances. This makes it an ideal alternative for those with sensitive noses or those who prefer natural cosmetics. 5. Easy and economical to use Only a small amount of menthol crystals is needed at a time – usually 1–3 small crystals per sauna water are enough. A small bag is enough for several sauna sessions and the dosage can be adjusted to your preference. The crystals can be added either directly to the water or used in a separate dispenser to achieve a consistent effect. This makes menthol an easy and cost-effective way to upgrade your sauna experience to a new level. It is an excellent sauna scent. Summary Using menthol, or sauna ice, in a sauna is much more than just a scent – it is a holistic experience that supports breathing, refreshes the body, relaxes the mind and brings natural luxury to your sauna evening. It is suitable for both traditional wood-burning saunas and electric heaters and can also be combined with other sauna scents. If you haven't tried Sauna Menthol sauna ice in your sauna yet, your next sauna session is the perfect time to start. Check out our online store's selection and order yours either for yourself or as a gift.

How often should you visit a sauna?

Sauna bathing is almost a given for Finns – part of everyday life, celebration and well-being. But many people wonder: how many times a week is it good to go to the sauna and how long should you stay in the sauna at a time to get the best health benefits? And is it possible to go to the sauna too much? In this blog post, we will delve into the optimal amount of sauna time, ideal duration, and the well-being effects of sauna bathing – and we will explain how Sauna Menthol sauna scent can make your sauna experience even more refreshing and effective. How many times a week should you go to the sauna? According to research, the best benefits of sauna bathing are achieved when you visit the sauna 2–4 times a week . For example, research from the University of Eastern Finland shows that regular sauna bathing can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, memory disorders and even reduce the risk of premature death. Even if you only go to the sauna once a week, you will still benefit, but more frequent sauna visits seem to have even greater health benefits. However, the most important thing is to listen to your body and find a rhythm that suits you. How long should you spend in the sauna at a time? The ideal duration of sauna bathing varies from person to person, but on average, 15–20 minutes at a time is a good amount of time for one sauna session. Many people do 2–3 sessions, with a cool-down in between. The sauna is not meant to be hot, but to relax. If you feel uncomfortable, you should stop and rest. A good rule of thumb is: use the sauna as much as you feel comfortable, but avoid staying in the heat too long if you are tired, dehydrated or sick. The benefits of sauna bathing – why is it worth going to the sauna regularly? Regular sauna bathing brings numerous health benefits, some of which are already known traditionally and some of which have been scientifically studied: 1. Relaxes the body and mind: The heat of a sauna relieves stress, lowers blood pressure and calms the nervous system. For many, the sauna is the most important moment of relaxation of the day. 2. Promotes blood circulation and metabolism: Heat dilates blood vessels and speeds up metabolism, which helps eliminate waste products from the body. 3. Supports Heart Health: Regular sauna users benefit from a reduced risk of heart disease. 4. Relieves muscle and joint pain: Heat relaxes muscles and can relieve various aches and pains. 5. Improves sleep quality: Many people sleep better on sauna days. The heat and subsequent cooling of the body support the natural sleep rhythm. Can you go to the sauna too much? Although sauna bathing is healthy, excessive sauna bathing can be stressful on the body – especially if it is combined with dehydration, excessively hot temperatures, or poor recovery. If you are using the sauna more than five times a week and feel tired, it is worth checking the amount and duration of sauna bathing. People with heart disease or low blood pressure should also discuss sauna use with their doctor. Finish your sauna session with Sauna Menthol – a fresher way to enjoy a sauna The benefits of sauna bathing are felt even more clearly when the sauna experience is holistically refreshing. Sauna Menthol sauna scent is a natural way to enhance breathing, freshen the air and create a new kind of sauna experience. When you add menthol crystals to the sauna water, you get a refreshing scent and feeling in the sauna that opens the airways and deepens relaxation. Sauna Menthol is especially suitable for recovering from busy days and easing the airways during the flu season – or even as a Midsummer sauna freshener. Summary: This is how I often visit saunas for well-being 2–4 times a week is the recommended amount of time to visit a sauna for health reasons. 15–20 minutes per sauna session is a suitable duration Sauna bathing brings diverse benefits to the body and mind Sauna Menthol sauna crystal makes the sauna experience more refreshing and relaxing 👉 Discover Sauna Menthol sauna fragrance in our online store and make your next sauna session an experience: www.saunamenthol.fi
