Tips for the sauna for a better experience

The sauna is not just about sweating. It is a ritual, a space for rest, relaxation, and care for both body and soul. If you visit the sauna regularly, you may already know that some small details can significantly enhance the overall experience. And if you are just starting, this overview will be useful for you. We will introduce you to a few great helpers and rituals that we recommend trying – whether in the public sauna world or during home sauna sessions.

Sauna Hat: A Small Miracle for Your Head

You might be surprised that one of the most important accessories for the sauna is the sauna hat. It is not just a stylish accessory – its main function is protective. It protects the scalp and hair from overheating, which is especially appreciated by those who spend longer periods in the sauna or have sensitive skin. Thanks to the hat, you can stay in the sauna longer and more comfortably. It is most commonly made from wool, linen, or felt – materials that insulate but also "breathe".

Homemade Body Scrub: Clean Skin Like from a Wellness Center

If you have been skipping scrubs until now, try incorporating it into your sauna cycles. A simple mixture of sea salt, coconut oil, and a few drops of essential oil is all you need – and you have a ready-made homemade body scrub. You will remove dead skin cells, stimulate circulation, and prepare your skin for regeneration. The result? Smooth, soft, and radiant skin that will breathe.

Essential Oils: Drops with a Big Effect

If you want to turn your sauna experience into a fragrant ritual, try the power of aromatherapy. The effects of essential oils can influence your mood, relieve tension, and clear the respiratory tract. Oils from mint, eucalyptus, or lemongrass are great for stimulation, while lavender or lemon balm help induce calm. Just a few drops into the water you pour over the stones or into an aroma lamp in the relaxation room will do.

Wooden Foot Massage Mat: A Small Luxury for Your Feet

Another delightful aid is the wooden foot massage mat. While resting between cycles, you can stand on it or use it while sitting. The mat gently stimulates reflex points on the feet, promotes circulation, and contributes to deeper relaxation of the whole body. Plus – it looks good and is easy to store.

Matcha as the Ideal Post-Sauna Supplement

After the sauna, it is important to replenish fluids – and when you do, do it in style. Instead of ordinary tea, try matcha. This green powder has antioxidants, stimulating effects, and supports digestion and detoxification. Whether you have matcha tea, matcha latte, or an iced drink with matcha and lemon, your body will thank you. Especially after the sauna, when it is open and ready to receive the best.

Small Things, Big Difference

You might think that a towel and a bathrobe are enough for the sauna. And yes, technically they are. But when you add a scrub, fragrant oil, a massage mat, or a cup of matcha, sauna sessions become a completely different experience. Ritualized, pleasant, healing for both body and soul.
