Relaxed through the dark season

Winter embodies a season when many people are unhappy and withdraw. Some even become depressed and think to themselves that there is nothing beautiful in life during this period. However, we hold against it, because what is more helpful than a hot sauna in this cold weather? In pure relaxation, the muscles and joints come to rest. You can fully switch off, completely surrender to the warmth, and experience what it means to let your mind and soul dangle.

A sauna session offers the opportunity to forget the stress of everyday life and all the worries, to enjoy moments of bliss and freedom from worries. The sauna in itself is quite a fine affair, but it also needs the right accessories to make the activity an optimal experience.

The infusion makes the music

For many sauna-goers, this is the crucial point, the salt in the soup. It is only through the infusion that they really get going. However, there are several criteria that must be taken into account. It is important that many prejudices do not apply. For example, that an infusion always brings more heat and pressure. This is factually incorrect, because many infusions can be relaxing and refreshing.

Sauna infusion with essential oils

The motto here is to persevere, because once you’ve experienced a sauna infusion, you’ll never want to miss one again! The classic is the so-called three-round infusion. After a short warm-up phase, water is repeatedly infused with a specific oil. With the help of a towel, the warm air is distributed in the room. There are also special infusions, for example with salt. The special fact about it is that by the salt a Peeling is included.

But which scents are the best for the winter time?
