The growth of sauna culture is significant worldwide

Sauna is no longer just a Finnish specialty or a small experience package behind the cottage, but its warmth has conquered the entire international market. In recent years, sauna culture has grown exponentially in the United States, Asia, and Central Europe – and there are a few clear reasons for this.

1. Wellness trends are bringing sauna to the surface

People are increasingly looking for more effective ways to recover and manage stress. A sauna offers the perfect place to stop: the heat relaxes muscles, opens the airways and takes care of the skin. When wellness influencers and fitness professionals share their experiences, the moped is eager to show off. An infrared sauna installed in a yoga studio or a luxurious steam room in a spa hotel shows that a sauna is just as suitable for urban everyday life as it is for a cottage pier. In Finland, we often think of the sauna as just our everyday ritual, but around the world it is becoming a huge wellness business.

2. Digital inspiration – from social media to sauna benches

Instagram stars, YouTube channels and TikTok videos are highlighting new forms of sauna: from traditional log saunas to increasingly popular futuristic sauna cabins. Sauna scents and steam bath scents – such as the new ones containing menthol – are receiving rave reviews in visual posts. When you see incredible sauna experiences on social media, building your own sauna vision feels even more attractive. Various products that enhance the well-being experience, such as sauna scent, sauna ice, steam bath scent and other related products, further enhance the sauna experience.

3. Cultures meet in the sauna

Designer saunas have sprung up in many Asian cities, combining Finnish thermal rituals with Japanese hot tubs and Korean skin care. A spa in the heart of the city offers, for example, a round of five different aromatherapy saunas, and you can choose from several different rituals to create the most pleasant sauna experience for yourself. Different spas offer many different sauna scents as part of the sauna experience.

4. Ecology and Finnish sauna scents

More and more consumers are choosing ecologically produced sauna products and sauna fragrances that are based on natural ingredients. Finnish-made menthol-based sauna fragrances have aroused interest: they often offer a freshness combined with nuances of Finnish nature. Sauna Menthol is one of the products that has impressed Finns as a sauna fragrance, and it is noticeable.

5. Sauna as a social experience

Community has been at the heart of saunas for centuries. Now this extends to social media live streams, virtual sauna nights and international pop-up events. People meet each other on benches, exchange sauna tips and discover new sauna scents. This kind of social bonding is further increasing the popularity of sauna culture.

Summary

Sauna culture is no longer limited to Finland – it has become globally popular thanks to wellness trends, social media and innovative product concepts. Whether your sauna is a traditional log sauna, an infrared module or a spa sauna in a city hotel, make it a completely unique sauna experience by using sauna scents and Sauna Menthol. Welcome to the global sauna revolution!

What causes sweat after sauna use and how can it be controlled?

What causes sweat after sauna use and how can it be controlled? Sauna bathing relaxes the mind and refreshes the body, but sometimes after a sauna session, sweat continues to drip for a very long time. This aftersweat can feel unpleasant, but it is a completely normal phenomenon. In this article, we will find out why aftersweat occurs, what factors affect its intensity and how you can reduce it – both with traditional methods and with the help of Sauna Menthol . 1. What is aftersweat? Aftersweat means that you continue to sweat after you have been in the sauna. Even though the sauna is no longer hot, your body temperature remains elevated, and sweat is still trying to remove heat. Aftersweat can last from a few minutes to an hour, depending on: Sauna temperature About self-conscious heat tolerance Skin type About resilience 2. Why does aftershave occur? High body temperature The heat of the sauna (usually 70–100 °C) raises the body's core temperature. The skin and respiratory system actively carry away heat through sweating, even after the sauna. Dilated blood vessels Heat dilates the blood vessels in the skin, which increases blood circulation and water evaporation from the skin's surface. Hormonal effect Sauna bathing activates the production of adrenaline and endorphins, which can keep metabolism and heat production elevated. Recovery delay The entire body does not cool down as one piece immediately – the middle of the body and head area may stay warm longer. 3. Controlling aftershave: the best ways Cooling down Even cooling : replace warm air with fresh outdoor air or take advantage of a cool water bath (temperature 18–22 °C). Let the air circulate : make sure the sauna door and windows open properly immediately after the sauna session. Hydration and body care Drinking plenty of water or a light sports drink restores fluid and salt balance. Fresh wash : a shower or washcloth with a mild essential oil (e.g. lemon or eucalyptus oil) added to it removes sweat residue from the skin. Skin-friendly products Breathable clothing : cotton or bamboo keeps your skin cooler after a sauna. Soft towels : gently pat away sweat immediately after cooling down. Sauna scents have a reducing effect on sweating Menthol-based fragrances help with cooling: due to the effectiveness of menthol, the skin feels cooler, which results in less post-sweat. Add a few crystals of Sauna Menthol sauna fragrance to the sauna water and enjoy more effective cooling. Restorative rest Rest and relaxation should continue after cooling down: a moment of calming the body improves heat management and reduces the amount of sweating. 4. Sauna Menthol – helps control aftersweat Many people find that Sauna Menthol makes saunas both refreshing and reduces aftersweat . The cooling effect of menthol opens the airways and cools the skin, so the body does not overheat so easily. When you combine a menthol-based sauna scent with daily sauna use, you will notice a decrease in aftersweat and experience a fresher feeling long after the sauna. Finally Sweating is the body's natural mechanism for regulating temperature, but its amount can be controlled by cooling down, effective hydration and properly selected sauna scents . Try Sauna Menthol menthol products and make your sauna experience even more pleasant and fresh – both during and after the sauna!

How long should you stay in the sauna at a time?

How long should you stay in the sauna at a time? You may have come to the sauna and wondered if 5 minutes is enough or if you should sit there for closer to half an hour. The answer is not black and white, as the appropriate sauna time depends on both your own body and the temperature of the sauna. With menthol-based sauna scents, you can extend the sauna time thanks to its cooling effect. However, here are a few good rules of thumb to help you find your own rhythm. 1. A short and gentle start for the beginner If you rarely take saunas or are just heading towards your first sauna sessions, it's worth starting carefully: 5–8 minutes : Let your body slowly adjust to the heat. When you get to the benches, rinse your legs and arms with cool water so your heart rate doesn't rise too quickly. At this stage, it is enough to enjoy the freshness of the sauna scent without drastic heat shocks. For example, the menthol-based Sauna Menthol is a good sauna scent for beginners, as it gently opens the airways. 2. Moderate sauna use: 10–15 minutes at a time Have you already been to the sauna a few times or are you used to higher temperatures? 10–12 minutes at a time is appropriate for most adults in good shape. You can try turning up the heat and taking a sauna more often, but listen to your body. Humans are not designed to be in the heat for more than their allotted time, but everyone adapts to the heat in their own way. The body usually tells you when enough is enough or when you can continue. Different sauna scents are a good addition to the toolkit of even the average sauna user. 3. Experienced sauna users can take a longer steam bath Experienced sauna users can stay on the benches for a little longer, but be careful not to overheat. 15–20 minutes is a good duration for an experienced sauna user. If you want a longer soak, divide your session into two or three parts and cool down in between. It is very important to remember to hydrate during long sauna sessions. The body dries out quickly and the metabolism accelerates, which requires hydration. Sauna Menthol has received excellent feedback in the sauna fragrance category for opening the airways, cooling the skin, and making the sauna session last longer. 4. Cooling down and recovery Regardless of the sauna user's level of experience, cooling down is extremely important for recovery: Stop using the sauna and go to a cool or room temperature room. Drinks hydrate you – water or a two-ounce glass of juice restore the body's balance. Allow at least the same amount of time to cool down as you did on the boards. This creates a functional break, after which you can enjoy the sauna again and enjoy the sauna scent of your choice as part of your sauna routine. Summary Beginner: 5–8 min Intermediate: 10–15 min Experienced: 15–20 min Remember that everyone's body reacts to heat differently. Listen to your body and stay hydrated. A quality sauna scent or a fresh steam bath scent can make the experience more luxurious and motivate you to return to the gentle heat of the sauna again. Practice makes perfect in this sport too.

How does sauna bathing affect sports performance?

Sauna bathing to support athlete recovery – warmth for the muscles and a refreshing mind Sauna bathing is a deeply rooted part of Finnish culture – and for good reason. Especially for active people and athletes, the sauna offers more than just a relaxing moment. It acts as an effective tool for muscle recovery and body care. When sauna bathing is combined with a high-quality sauna or steam bath scent , the experience becomes not only physically beneficial but also soothing to the senses. A hard sports performance is often physically demanding, but also mentally demanding. Muscle recovery is significantly faster in a sauna After a hard workout, muscles are often tired, tight and tense. The heat of the sauna relaxes the muscles, dilates blood vessels and improves blood circulation, which promotes the removal of lactic acid and waste products from the body. This can reduce muscle pain and speed up recovery for the next workout. As metabolism increases, recovery also becomes more efficient. Additionally, the heat of the sauna has a calming effect on the nervous system, helping the body shift from the sympathetic (fight or flight) state to the parasympathetic (rest and digest) state – the very state where recovery occurs most effectively. Sauna bathing improves sleep quality Quality sleep is an essential part of recovery. Several studies have shown that a sauna before bed can improve sleep quality, as the drop in body temperature after a sauna can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply. This is invaluable for recovery – especially for athletes who are constantly under high stress. The sauna scent completes the restorative sauna experience You can take the restorative sauna experience a step further by using steam or sauna scents . For example, menthol-based scents like Sauna Menthol can freshen your breath, invigorate your mind, and open your airways, which deepens relaxation and further supports your body's recovery. Natural scents such as birch , tar or ginger also add a traditional feel and can enhance the therapeutic effect of the sauna experience. Many athletes report that they find their mind calms down faster when accompanied by a familiar and pleasant sauna scent . Summary: The sauna is an athlete's best friend Combining warmth, relaxation and natural sauna scents , the sauna acts as a holistic place of recovery. Whether you are a top athlete, a dedicated trainer or a casual exerciser, the sauna offers the body and mind a chance to breathe, recover and renew. The next time you've sweated on the sports field, in the gym or on the jogging trail, take some time for a sauna and make it part of your planned recovery. Add a few crystals of the popular sauna scent , Sauna Menthol, to the sauna water. You'll notice the really effective, cooling and opening effect of menthol. As menthol evaporates, the airways open up very effectively in the sauna. The skin's surface blood circulation is enhanced and Sauna Menthol feels just as cold on the skin. These properties together help you recover and, in the end, you'll get a truly exceptional sauna experience. So choose the Sauna Menthol sauna scent.
