Sauna at 30 degrees? Yes, please
Taking a sauna in the summertime only makes some people shake their heads. But a sauna session is beneficial all year round and protects your health. If you go to the sauna regularly and take a cold shower afterward, you won’t mind the outside temperature of 30 degrees (86 °F). The circulation is trained for extreme temperatures and temperature fluctuations. Menthol and ice crystals as essence in the infusion have a cooling effect and contribute to refreshment. This makes high temperatures outside more tolerable, plus the cold shower and cold plunge pool are never far away, and maybe even a pool.

Sauna infusion – applications and information
Before your sauna session, simply mix 3 – 5 drops of your favorite essence with the water that you need for the infusion.

Too strong a concentration irritates the mucous membranes and leads to headaches and circulatory problems.
