The benefits of sauna bathing and the richness of sauna culture

Sauna bathing is an essential part of the Finnish lifestyle, but its appreciation has also grown internationally. Sauna bathing is not only a means of relaxation, but it has numerous physical and mental benefits that make it a unique experience. In this article, we will go through all the most popular sauna-related topics that interest sauna lovers in Finland and around the world.

1. Health Effects of Sauna

The health benefits of sauna bathing are well documented and attract many to try this ancient tradition. Here are some of the most important benefits:

  • Improving blood circulation: The heat of a sauna dilates blood vessels, which improves blood circulation and may reduce the risk of heart disease.
  • Muscle relaxation: Heat helps relieve muscle pain and reduce stress in the body.
  • Skin cleansing: Sweating removes impurities from the skin, which can lead to clearer skin.
  • Stress relief: The peaceful sauna environment helps you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and promotes mental well-being.

2. Sauna Traditions and Etiquette

A Finnish sauna has its own unwritten rules that make the experience smooth and enjoyable:

  • Pouring the water: Each sauna user respects their turn when pouring the water, and not too much water is poured into the heater at once.
  • Vihta/vasta: This traditional "brush" made from birch branches brings a wonderful scent and improves blood circulation.
  • Silence or quiet conversation: The sauna is a place for relaxation, so loud noises should be avoided.

3. Sauna products and accessories

The sauna experience can be complemented with various products that increase relaxation and enjoyment:

  • Sauna scents: Essential oils or menthol crystals, such as Sauna Menthol , create a fresh and relaxing scent.
  • Sauna hats: Helps protect your head from excessively hot saunas.
  • Sauna honey: A skin care product that moisturizes the skin in a warm environment.

4. History and Culture of Sauna Bathing

Sauna bathing dates back thousands of years. In Finland, sauna has been an integral part of life since birth (even childbirth used to take place in the sauna). Sauna is not just for bathing, it is also a place to celebrate, relax and improve your health.

Internationally, sauna bathing is often associated with Finland, but countries such as Russia (banya) and Turkey (hamam) have their own versions of sauna traditions.

5. Combining Menthol and Sauna

Recently, the use of menthol crystals in saunas has become increasingly popular. Sauna Menthol brings a fresh and cooling dimension to the traditional sauna experience. The scent of menthol opens the airways and helps you relax more deeply. Menthol has several terms as a sauna product, such as sauna ice, sauna crystal, menthol crystal, menthol crystal, sauna crystal or Sauna Menthol.

Why choose Sauna Menthol?

Sauna bathing is a versatile source of well-being that combines relaxation, health and culture in a unique way.

How to choose the best sauna scent for your sauna?

Sauna scents can create a pleasant atmosphere in the sauna and significantly enhance the sauna experience. Choosing the right sauna scent depends on your own preferences, the purpose of using the sauna, and the effect you want the sauna scent to have on your mood. In this guide, we will go over how to choose the right sauna scent for you. 1. Consider the desired mood and effect Sauna scents affect both the body and the mind. Here are a few popular options and their effects to help you find a good sauna scent that is right for you: Fresh and refreshing sauna scents – For example, menthol, eucalyptus and peppermint open the airways and refresh the feeling. Relaxing and calming scents – Lavender, chamomile and sandalwood help you relax and relieve stress. Natural and forest scents – Pine, spruce, birch and tar wood bring the traditional Finnish forest atmosphere to the sauna. Fruity and sweet scents – Citrus, vanilla, and coconut create a more exotic feel and can uplift the mood. 2. Choose the right sauna scent shape Sauna scents are available in several different forms. The choice depends on comfort of use and desired intensity. Liquid sauna fragrances – The most common form, added directly to the sauna water. Easy to dispense and available in many different options. Essential oils – A natural and powerful option that only requires a few drops in your sauna water. Sauna Menthol crystals – A very effective way to freshen the sauna air, especially the respiratory tract-opening effect. Sauna fragrance balls and tablets – New innovations that release long-lasting fragrance in the sauna. Natural materials – Fresh birch branches, juniper berries, and spruce cones provide a natural scent without artificial substances. 3. Consider the size of the sauna and the strength of the scent The size and ventilation of the sauna affect the spread of the sauna scent. In a small sauna, strong scents such as menthol or eucalyptus can be intense, so it is worth being careful when dosing. In a larger sauna, on the other hand, you can use a slightly more generous amount of sauna scent. 4. Test and combine different scents If you can't decide, try different sauna scent combinations. For example, lemon and rosemary create a fresh yet warming atmosphere. Pine and tar wood combined create an authentic traditional Finnish sauna atmosphere. 5. Choose a high-quality and safe fragrance When choosing a sauna scent, choose high-quality, natural options. Check that the product is specifically intended for sauna use, as not all fragrance oils are suitable for hot conditions. It is also worth considering allergies and sensitivities, especially if there are family members or guests in the sauna. The right sauna scent can be found by experimenting. Summary The best sauna scent depends on what kind of sauna experience you are looking for. Gentle lavender and chamomile are suitable for relaxation, while menthol or citrus fruits bring freshness. The size of the sauna, ventilation and the dosage of the sauna scent should be taken into account to ensure a pleasant and balanced sauna experience. By trying different options, you will find the sauna scent that suits you!

How does the size of the sauna affect the use of Sauna Menthol?

To achieve the best experience with Sauna Menthol, or sauna ice, it is also a good idea to consider the size of the sauna. At home, an apartment building may have a completely different type of sauna than, for example, a cottage. The Sauna Menthol sauna scent also has a different effect when the surface area changes. The size of the sauna actually affects the experience the most, in terms of how the menthol crystals evaporate into the air. When tried with the same amount in a small sauna, the experience may be stronger than in a large cottage sauna. So take the following into account when using menthol. 1. Adjusting the amount of menthol Small sauna (less than 6 m²) → A smaller amount of Sauna Menthol is sufficient because the space fills with steam faster. Large sauna (over 10 m²) → More menthol is needed to spread the effect evenly throughout the space. 2. Air circulation and steam diffusion In a small sauna, Sauna Menthol spreads quickly, but can feel too strong if applied too much. Always remember to start with a small amount. In a large sauna, the steam may disperse more, which may result in a milder effect of Sauna Menthol. 3. Usage and placement In a small sauna, it is a good idea to carefully add Sauna Menthol sauna crystals to the sauna water and let it spread evenly. In a larger sauna, you can try dispensing sauna ice in several places, for example, separately into the sauna water and the sauna heater. 4. Number of users More saunas in a large sauna → You can add a little more menthol so that everyone gets the effect. Fewer users in a small sauna → Less menthol so it is not too strong. 5. Sauna experience In a small sauna, the intensity of menthol can become more pronounced faster. Moderate dosage is recommended. In a large sauna, Sauna Menthol can create a pleasant, more evenly distributed refreshing effect. Based on our customer experience, the appropriate dosage for Sauna Menthol sauna scent is usually found after 2-4 uses. So don't be alarmed if the first time the experience is too strong or too mild. The appropriate use of menthol crystals requires a little practice. It is always better to start with a small amount and add more and more menthol crystals evenly. In traditional sauna scents, the size of the sauna doesn't really matter, because the smell spreads anyway. When using Sauna Menthol, it is important to use the right dosage to achieve the perfect sauna experience, combining the cool feeling of menthol crystals, opening the airways and relaxation. Currently, Sauna Menthol's menthol crystals do all of these at once. Test and fall in love with our product.
