Which Essential Oils to Use and How to Apply Them Safely

Sauna bathing is a deeply relaxing experience on its own but when combined with natural essential oils, it becomes a multisensory ritual that enhances both physical and mental well-being.
Aromatherapy in the sauna can uplift your mood, support your immunesystem, and intensify the regenerative effects of heat provided it is doneproperly and safely. Proper use ensures safe and effective results.

Which essential oil for what? 

Each essential oil has a specific effect. Lavender calms the mind, relieves tension, and supports restful sleep. Peppermint refreshes the senses and helps with respiratory issues. Eucalyptus is ideal during cold season, as it opens the airways. Lemon balm reduces stress and promotes relaxation. Rosemary stimulates circulation and energy, while sweet orange uplifts and improves mood. Pine oils bring a natural, forest-like freshness to the sauna. Always use 100% pure, therapeutic-grade oils for safe and effective results. 

How to use essential oils safely in the sauna?

Never pour undiluted essential oils directly onto hot sauna stones. This is dangerous and damages both the oil and the stones. Instead, dilute 3–5 drops of oil in about 0.5 liters of water, and use this blend for the infusion. This method ensures the oil evaporates evenly and gently. Overuse can cause headaches, skin irritation, or respiratory discomfort. Begin with small amounts and adjust based on personal sensitivity and preference. 

Who should avoid aromatherapy in the sauna? 

Aromatherapy in the sauna is not recommended for pregnant women, small children, or people with asthma or strong allergies. Certain oils can raise blood pressure or cause skin irritation. If you have a sensitive constitution or chronic illness, consult your doctor beforehand. Never apply essential oils directly to the skin, and discontinue use immediately if any adverse reaction occurs.
