Menthol crystals are often used for their cooling and soothing properties. They can help relieve muscle tension and increase blood circulation, which can be beneficial for post-workout recovery. In addition, menthol can provide a refreshing sensation and relieve any pain.
The heat in the sauna causes blood vessels to dilate, resulting in:
Improved blood flow: This increases the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, which is crucial for recovery and building muscle tissue.
Removal of waste products: Increased blood flow also helps to transport away metabolic waste products, such as lactic acid, that can accumulate after exercise.
Reduce muscle tension: When muscles are warmed up, they relax, reducing tension and stiffness. This is especially beneficial after intense exercise, where muscles are often strained.
Relieve soreness: Sauna baths can reduce the feeling of muscle soreness after exercise (delayed onset muscle soreness, DOMS), making it easier to recover.
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Our sauna oils have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce swelling and inflammation in the muscles.
