Use of sauna oils during infusion
The use of fragrances most often occurs during the sauna infusion. It is absolutely necessary to apply the fragrance essences correctly and according to the manufacturer’s instructions, because only then they can develop their optimal effect. Fragrance concentrates must therefore always be diluted before they come into contact with the hot sauna stones. Water in combination with a mixture of fragrances creates a so-called smoldering smoke on contact with the hot sauna stones. This hot water vapor then hits the skin and subsequently stimulates blood circulation. At the same time, the fragrance essences act through the surface of the skin, but especially through deep inhalation and exhalation.
Sauna oils from controlled organic cultivation
For the sauna infusion, essences can be artificial, nature-identical or purely natural. Appropriate blends are also available. Natural organic sauna oils are characterized on the one hand by their high degree of natural purity and on the other hand by the fact that they do not contain any artificial additives. For this reason alone, organic sauna oils are considered to be particularly skin-compatible and are usually well tolerated even by sensitive individuals, for example those with respiratory diseases. Organic sauna oils are extremely economical to use due to their high content of purely natural essential oils.
Recommendations for the correct storage of sauna oils
Whether opened or unopened, essential oils are best stored in tightly sealed, dark bottles. It is important that the oils are protected from heat and sunlight, it is also recommended to keep them out of reach of children. Citrus oils in particular are considered to be especially sensitive to light. The minimum shelf life always depends on the product. In most cases, the manufacturer provides appropriate instructions on the label, which should be followed. While some aromas can only be stored for a short period of three months, there are also essential oils that can still be used after 12 or 18 months. But most essential oils have a shelf life of two to three years without further ado, before they lose their aroma and should then be disposed of.
