Tips for safely dispensing menthol crystals in a home sauna – 5 tips for first-time users

Menthol crystals (sauna ice) are an effective and natural way to bring a refreshing scent and a respiratory-opening effect to saunas. More and more saunas have incorporated menthol crystals into their sauna routine, but for those trying the product for the first time, it is good to know a few important things about the correct and safe use of this sauna scent. The undeniably high-quality menthol crystals offered by Sauna Menthol are made using 100% natural methods and do not contain any additives. Here are five practical tips to ensure a successful and pleasant sauna experience with menthol. 1. Start slowly – less is more Menthol crystals are very strong. Just a few crystals (about 1-3cm crystal size) are enough to bring a distinctly fresh and cooling feeling to your sauna. Too much can cause irritation to the eyes and breathing, so start with a small amount and increase the potency as needed. Menthol crystals are very strong even in small amounts. 2. Do not place menthol crystals directly on the coils Menthol evaporates quickly and heats up strongly, so it should never be placed directly on the heating elements of an electric heater . In addition, the essential oil can ignite on the heater's heating elements. When placed on heater stones, the crystals can evaporate too suddenly when melted, which can have an unpleasantly strong effect. We recommend always adding menthol crystals to the heater with water. Instead, you can: Dissolve a small amount of menthol crystals in a steam bucket of hot water and pour the mixture onto the stones. Uses a separate aroma cup where you place the crystals with water to gradually evaporate. Dissolve the menthol in a larger sauna water container and use it when pouring the sauna. 3. Store menthol crystal properly Keep menthol crystals in a closed container, at room temperature and out of reach of children and pets. The crystals are a pure natural product, but their powerful effect can surprise you if handled carelessly. The melting point of menthol crystals is 41 degrees, so do not take them with the package to the sauna. 4. Avoid direct skin contact in large quantities Menthol is not dangerous, but it can cause a cooling or even burning sensation on sensitive skin. If necessary, use a small spoon to dispense the crystals, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. You can also pour the sauna ice menthol crystals directly from the bag and sprinkle them into the sauna water outside the sauna or quickly in the sauna. 5. Remember ventilation and consider the group Menthol affects everyone in the sauna. If there are children, the elderly or people with asthma, discuss its use in advance. Good ventilation and careful dosage ensure that everyone enjoys the sauna experience. However, the menthol scent evaporates quickly and does not leave unpleasant odors or residue on the sauna stones for a long time. So you can use it several times a week without worry. Summary Menthol is a powerful, natural and effective addition to saunas when used correctly. It is easy to use when you follow a few simple basic principles: dose in moderation and ensure a pleasant experience for all sauna users. Saunamenthol.fi offers high-quality menthol crystals and ready-to-use sauna products that help you take your sauna experience to a new level – safely and naturally.

5 syytä käyttää mentolia saunassa – hengitysteistä rentoutumiseen

5 reasons to use menthol in the sauna – from respiratory relaxation

A Finnish sauna is a place to relax, cleanse and recharge your batteries. Many sauna users like to complement the experience with various sauna scents, one of the most popular of which is menthol. Menthol crystals have quickly become popular among sauna scents, and for good reason, as menthol not only smells fresh, but also brings many tangible health benefits to the sauna experience. Here are five good reasons to include menthol in your next sauna session. 1. Clears the airways One of the most well-known effects of menthol is its ability to open up blocked airways very effectively. Menthol crystals (sauna ice) dissolve in hot sauna water and create a refreshing vapor that helps you breathe easier. This makes menthol especially popular during flu season or when you feel congested or have allergy symptoms. Many people experience relief after just the first breath. 2. Cools and refreshes the body Although the sauna itself is a hot and sweaty place, the menthol sauna scent provides a contrast. It creates a cool feeling on the skin, which invigorates and makes you feel pleasantly fresh. This cooling effect occurs when menthol activates the skin's cold receptors. Many athletes and active people use menthol in the sauna to support recovery precisely because of this property. Menthol is also used as part of sports performance in various forms such as sprays, creams or simply by inhaling it. 3. Relaxes the body and mind The scent of menthol also affects your mood. Its freshness combined with the soothing effect of the sauna heat helps relieve stress and tension. Breathing deepens, muscles relax and the mind calms down. Menthol brings a spa-like atmosphere to the sauna, making an ordinary sauna session a more luxurious and holistic experience. 4. A natural and effective alternative to synthetic fragrances Many sauna scents contain synthetic ingredients or strong fragrances that are not suitable for everyone. Menthol Crystals are pure, crystallized menthol (Mentha Arvensis) – a natural substance extracted from the leaves of the beach mint. It is effective even in small amounts and does not contain additives or artificial fragrances. This makes it an ideal alternative for those with sensitive noses or those who prefer natural cosmetics. 5. Easy and economical to use Only a small amount of menthol crystals is needed at a time – usually 1–3 small crystals per sauna water are enough. A small bag is enough for several sauna sessions and the dosage can be adjusted to your preference. The crystals can be added either directly to the water or used in a separate dispenser to achieve a consistent effect. This makes menthol an easy and cost-effective way to upgrade your sauna experience to a new level. It is an excellent sauna scent. Summary Using menthol, or sauna ice, in a sauna is much more than just a scent – ​​it is a holistic experience that supports breathing, refreshes the body, relaxes the mind and brings natural luxury to your sauna evening. It is suitable for both traditional wood-burning saunas and electric heaters and can also be combined with other sauna scents. If you haven't tried Sauna Menthol sauna ice in your sauna yet, your next sauna session is the perfect time to start.

How often should you visit a sauna?

Sauna bathing is almost a given for Finns – part of everyday life, celebration and well-being. But many people wonder: how many times a week is it good to go to the sauna and how long should you stay in the sauna at a time to get the best health benefits? And is it possible to go to the sauna too much? In this blog post, we will delve into the optimal amount of sauna time, ideal duration, and the well-being effects of sauna bathing – and we will explain how Sauna Menthol sauna scent can make your sauna experience even more refreshing and effective. How many times a week should you go to the sauna? According to research, the best benefits of sauna bathing are achieved when you visit the sauna 2–4 ​​times a week . For example, research from the University of Eastern Finland shows that regular sauna bathing can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, memory disorders and even reduce the risk of premature death. Even if you only go to the sauna once a week, you will still benefit, but more frequent sauna visits seem to have even greater health benefits. However, the most important thing is to listen to your body and find a rhythm that suits you. How long should you spend in the sauna at a time? The ideal duration of sauna bathing varies from person to person, but on average, 15–20 minutes at a time is a good amount of time for one sauna session. Many people do 2–3 sessions, with a cool-down in between. The sauna is not meant to be hot, but to relax. If you feel uncomfortable, you should stop and rest. A good rule of thumb is: use the sauna as much as you feel comfortable, but avoid staying in the heat too long if you are tired, dehydrated or sick. The benefits of sauna bathing – why is it worth going to the sauna regularly? Regular sauna bathing brings numerous health benefits, some of which are already known traditionally and some of which have been scientifically studied: 1. Relaxes the body and mind: The heat of a sauna relieves stress, lowers blood pressure and calms the nervous system. For many, the sauna is the most important moment of relaxation of the day. 2. Promotes blood circulation and metabolism: Heat dilates blood vessels and speeds up metabolism, which helps eliminate waste products from the body. 3. Supports Heart Health: Regular sauna users benefit from a reduced risk of heart disease. 4. Relieves muscle and joint pain: Heat relaxes muscles and can relieve various aches and pains. 5. Improves sleep quality: Many people sleep better on sauna days. The heat and subsequent cooling of the body support the natural sleep rhythm. Can you go to the sauna too much? Although sauna bathing is healthy, excessive sauna bathing can be stressful on the body – especially if it is combined with dehydration, excessively hot temperatures, or poor recovery. If you are using the sauna more than five times a week and feel tired, it is worth checking the amount and duration of sauna bathing. People with heart disease or low blood pressure should also discuss sauna use with their doctor. Finish your sauna session with Sauna Menthol – a fresher way to enjoy a sauna The benefits of sauna bathing are felt even more clearly when the sauna experience is holistically refreshing. Sauna Menthol sauna scent is a natural way to enhance breathing, freshen the air and create a new kind of sauna experience. When you add menthol crystals to the sauna water, you get a refreshing scent and feeling in the sauna that opens the airways and deepens relaxation. Sauna Menthol is especially suitable for recovering from busy days and easing the airways during the flu season – or even as a Midsummer sauna freshener. Summary: This is how I often visit saunas for well-being 2–4 times a week is the recommended amount of time to visit a sauna for health reasons. 15–20 minutes per sauna session is a suitable duration Sauna bathing brings diverse benefits to the body and mind Sauna Menthol sauna crystal makes the sauna experience more refreshing and relaxing 👉 Discover Sauna Menthol sauna fragrance in our online store and make your next sauna session an experience: www.saunamenthol.fi

Kauanko saunassa kannattaa olla kerralla?

How long should you stay in the sauna at a time?

How long should you stay in the sauna at a time? You may have come to the sauna and wondered if 5 minutes is enough or if you should sit there for closer to half an hour. The answer is not black and white, as the appropriate sauna time depends on both your own body and the temperature of the sauna. With menthol-based sauna scents, you can extend the sauna time thanks to its cooling effect. However, here are a few good rules of thumb to help you find your own rhythm. 1. A short and gentle start for the beginner If you rarely take saunas or are just heading towards your first sauna sessions, it's worth starting carefully: 5–8 minutes : Let your body slowly adjust to the heat. When you get to the benches, rinse your legs and arms with cool water so your heart rate doesn't rise too quickly. At this stage, it is enough to enjoy the freshness of the sauna scent without drastic heat shocks. For example, the menthol-based Sauna Menthol is a good sauna scent for beginners, as it gently opens the airways. 2. Moderate sauna use: 10–15 minutes at a time Have you already been to the sauna a few times or are you used to higher temperatures? 10–12 minutes at a time is appropriate for most adults in good shape. You can try turning up the heat and taking a sauna more often, but listen to your body. Humans are not designed to be in the heat for more than their allotted time, but everyone adapts to the heat in their own way. The body usually tells you when enough is enough or when you can continue. Different sauna scents are a good addition to the toolkit of even the average sauna user. 3. Experienced sauna users can take a longer steam bath Experienced sauna users can stay on the benches for a little longer, but be careful not to overheat. 15–20 minutes is a good duration for an experienced sauna user. If you want a longer soak, divide your session into two or three parts and cool down in between. It is very important to remember to hydrate during long sauna sessions. The body dries out quickly and the metabolism accelerates, which requires hydration. Sauna Menthol has received excellent feedback in the sauna fragrance category for opening the airways, cooling the skin, and making the sauna session last longer. 4. Cooling down and recovery Regardless of the sauna user's level of experience, cooling down is extremely important for recovery: Stop using the sauna and go to a cool or room temperature room. Drinks hydrate you – water or a two-ounce glass of juice restore the body's balance. Allow at least the same amount of time to cool down as you did on the boards. This creates a functional break, after which you can enjoy the sauna again and enjoy the sauna scent of your choice as part of your sauna routine. Summary Beginner: 5–8 min Intermediate: 10–15 min Experienced: 15–20 min Remember that everyone's body reacts to heat differently. Listen to your body and stay hydrated. A quality sauna scent or a fresh steam bath scent can make the experience more luxurious and motivate you to return to the gentle heat of the sauna again. Practice makes perfect in this sport too.

Sauna aroma and its health effects when taking a sauna

Health benefits of sauna aroma – natural well-being in the sauna Sauna is an essential part of our Finnish culture, and its health benefits have been discussed for decades. The sauna scent is one of the central elements of the sauna experience, and its effects extend far beyond just a pleasant smell. The right sauna scent can promote relaxation, ease breathing, and improve overall well-being. In this blog post, we discuss the diverse health benefits of sauna scent and give tips on how to use it correctly in everyday sauna moments. The effect of sauna scent on the respiratory tract Many sauna scents contain essential oils that can help open up the airways and relieve congestion very effectively. For example, eucalyptus and menthol-based sauna scents are particularly popular due to their refreshing and breathing-easing effect. The warm sauna air combined with these natural substances can enhance the cleansing of mucous membranes and effectively relieve cold symptoms. Sauna ice in particular is a great way to get an opening effect when taking a sauna due to its effectiveness. Relaxation and stress relief Sauna bathing is a well-known relaxing experience, and the right sauna scent can further enhance this effect. Lavender, lemon balm, and chamomile, for example , are known for their calming properties. A warm sauna combined with these natural scents can help relieve stress, improve sleep quality, and promote mental well-being. The effect of sauna aroma on recovery, muscles and blood circulation A warm sauna and sauna scents can help relax muscles and improve blood circulation. Relaxing muscles after sports improves, among other things, the quality of sleep. For example, rosemary and peppermint oils can relieve muscle pain and promote recovery after physical exertion. Combining these oils with sauna bathing can bring additional benefits to athletes and active people. Skin care and detox effect The high temperature and sweating in a sauna help to remove toxins from the body, and the right sauna scent can support this process. For example, tea tree oil and lemon are known for their antibacterial properties and can help keep the skin clean and clear. Sauna bathing combined with these natural scents can help prevent skin problems and improve the overall condition of the skin. Choosing the right sauna scent Each sauna scent has a different effect on the body and mind, so it's best to base your choice on your own needs and desires. If you want to feel refreshed, choose the Sauna Menthol sauna scent in particular. If you're looking for deeper relaxation, lavender and sandalwood are excellent options. Tips for using sauna scent Dose correctly: Sauna scents are often concentrated, so a few drops per liter of water are enough. Mix well: To ensure the scent spreads evenly, mix the sauna scent with the heater first before throwing it on the heater. Choose quality products: Natural, additive-free sauna scents guarantee the best benefits without harmful chemicals. For example, Sauna Menthol sauna ice contains nothing added, only mint oil. Consider the size of the sauna: When dosing the sauna scent, it is worth considering the size of the sauna. A larger sauna requires a little more power, while in a small sauna, the use of the sauna scent may be less. Sauna Menthol sauna scent The sauna scent is often perceived as a momentary smell or feeling in the sauna. Sauna Menthol sauna scent is completely different from traditional sauna scents, and is usually referred to as a sauna experience. The effect of Sauna Menthol sauna scent during sauna use lasts up to 15-30 minutes. The effect is long, because menthol itself is very strong. If you are looking for a sauna scent that is effective and long-lasting, then your choice is Sauna Menthol sauna scent. What are the health benefits of sauna bathing? Sauna bathing has many health benefits. For us Finns, sauna has been part of everyday life for centuries, but the world has only now begun to understand the well-being-improving effects it brings. Sauna bathing is seen as a luxury product around the world, but also as something that promotes well-being and recovery. 1. Temperature fluctuations activate the immune system During sauna bathing, the body temperature rises momentarily to around 38–39 degrees Celsius, which is similar to a fever. This thermal effect activates the body's defense mechanisms, such as white blood cells, which help fight viruses and bacteria. 2. Reducing stress supports immunity Chronic stress weakens the immune system, but sauna bathing promotes relaxation and reduces levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which improves the body's ability to resist disease. 3. Better blood circulation and elimination of waste products Heat dilates blood vessels and improves circulation, which improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. At the same time, sweating helps remove waste products, supporting the body's natural cleansing process. 4. Preventing the flu and speeding up recovery Studies suggest that people who regularly take a sauna are less likely to get the flu. In addition, sauna bathing can relieve respiratory symptoms and speed up recovery from colds, for example. Summary Sauna scents are not only a pleasant addition to the sauna experience, but they also have many health benefits for everyday life. The right sauna scent can help the respiratory tract, relieve stress, promote blood circulation and support overall well-being. By choosing natural and high-quality sauna scents, you can enhance the benefits of sauna bathing and enjoy an even more relaxing sauna moment.
