What are sauna scents – and why do they matter?
Sauna scents, such as essential oils and crystals, enhance the sauna experience by affecting both the mind and body. They create an atmosphere that enhances relaxation, improves breathing and can provide different health benefits depending on the scent you choose.
Why is the scent important in the sauna?
The sense of smell is directly connected to the brain's emotional center. This means that a sauna scent doesn't just smell good – it can affect your mood, calm your body, or invigorate you after a workout. The right scent can also enhance the effect of the heat in the sauna.
