The correct dosage of Sauna Menthol ensures a pleasant and optimal sauna experience. Menthol crystals bring a refreshing coolness to the sauna and open the airways, but correct use has a significant impact on the final result. Every sauna is different, so it is recommended to start with a small dosage and increase the amount as needed.
What affects the dosage?
Sauna size
In smaller saunas, the menthol steam is stronger, in larger saunas the dosage can be increased. The instructions use a 2–4 person apartment building sauna as a reference point.
Location of the sauna heater and benches
If the heater is significantly lower or further away from the benches, the effect of the menthol vapor may feel different.
Amount of sauna water
For a softer sauna experience, add menthol crystals to a larger volume of water (e.g. 2–3 liters). For a stronger effect, add the crystals directly to the sauna bucket.
Sauna Menthol dosage instructions
1. Open the package carefully
The bag is resealable, make sure to close it carefully after use.
Store the bag at room temperature and avoid taking it to the sauna, as the crystals melt at temperatures above 41°C.
2. Fill the tub with hot water
Make sure the water is hot enough to effectively melt the crystals.
3. Dispense the crystals into a sauna bucket or directly into the sauna water.
Start with 1-3 crystals if you are using the product for the first time.
For a stronger effect, 2–4 crystals are recommended.
The reference size of a single crystal is approx. 0.5cm.
Use a spoon or sprinkle directly from the bag, avoid handling the crystals with bare hands.
4. Throw on a sauna and enjoy the effect
The menthol crystals evaporate with the steam and fill the sauna with fresh menthol steam.
A cooling sensation begins to be felt on the skin after a while.
5. Adjust the dosage according to your preference
If the effect feels too strong, reduce the dosage.
If you want a more intense experience, add crystals gradually.
6. After use, close the bag carefully.
Store the bag in a dry and cool place.
