How do heaters from different manufacturers differ from each other?
There are several sauna heater manufacturers on the market, and their products differ in terms of structure, technology, design, and sauna experience. Choosing the right sauna heater directly affects the kind of sauna experience you get and how pleasant your sauna experience will be. In this article, we will go over how the products of different heater manufacturers typically differ from each other and what you should consider when making a choice. Electric stove vs. wood stove – basic considerations Before looking at the different manufacturers, it's good to understand the two main types: Electric heater Easy to use, quick to heat up. Particularly suitable for city and house saunas. Often more compact and allows for modern features such as timing or WiFi control. Wood stove Offers more traditional, “soft” saunas. Especially suitable for cottages and saunas where an authentic atmosphere is desired. Requires more maintenance and a chimney. Most heater manufacturers offer both options, but the emphasis and specialization vary between manufacturers. There are also huge differences in the selections by country. Harvia – a Finnish classic Harvia is one of the best-known and internationally respected sauna heater manufacturers. The company was founded in the 1950s and its selection is very wide today. Typical features: High-quality and durable construction, designed for long-term use. The collection includes basic models, designer heaters, and smart WiFi-controlled electric heaters. Good amount of stones in many models → soft and even saunas. Spare parts and maintenance are readily available in Finland thanks to a comprehensive network. Who is suitable for: Harvia is suitable for almost everyone – whether for a home sauna, a cottage or public use. If you value reliable quality and domestic production, Harvia is always a safe choice. Narvi – a combination of tradition and design Narvi is another strong domestic manufacturer, known especially for its wood-burning stoves and energy efficiency. Typical features: Invest in ecology and clean combustion – lower emissions and efficient heat utilization. The appearance is often restrained and traditional, but more modern models are also available. The saunas are soft and long-lasting, especially in wood-burning stoves. Who is suitable for: Narvi is especially suitable for those who value the traditional sauna experience and want a wood-burning stove that is both efficient and environmentally friendly. Helo – modern technology and design Helo is one of the world's oldest heater manufacturers and known for its innovations. Helo focuses particularly on electric heaters and smart solutions. Typical features: Modern design and compact solutions for apartment buildings, for example. Good control panels and the ability to integrate the heater into home automation systems. Excellent heating speed. Who is suitable for: Helo is particularly suitable for city saunas and modern homes where comfort and a stylish appearance are valued. Iki – design and massive saunas Iki heaters are known for their distinctive mesh-like structure, which allows for an exceptionally large number of stones in the heater. Typical features: A very impressive appearance that makes the heater the focal point of the sauna. Massive amount of stones → long and soft saunas. Also suitable for larger saunas and public spaces. Both wood and electric models available. Who is suitable for: Iki is suitable for those who want an impressive design and high-quality saunas – for example, for a modern home sauna or representative spaces. Other manufacturers and specialties There are also smaller or more specialized manufacturers on the market, such as Tulikivi, which combines a heater and a rock mass into a heat-saving whole. Kastor is known for its traditional and durable wood-burning heaters. There are also specialized manufacturers, such as Saunatuli, which focus on smoke saunas or custom-made solutions, for example. How to choose the right heater? Different manufacturers emphasize different things in their heaters. When making your own choice, it is worth considering: Sauna size and purpose – Choose the power class and heater depending on how large the space is to be heated. The nature of saunas – Do you want soft, long-lasting saunas or quick heating? Appearance and design – A sauna heater can become the eye-catcher in the sauna. Maintenance and spare parts – Spare parts and maintenance are easily available for products from well-known manufacturers. Technical features – Smart control, scheduling, and automation can be a big advantage in everyday life. What price range do different heater manufacturers fall into? Harvia offers the most options in all price ranges. Mid-range 500-1000€ Narvi is most often placed in the middle class and slightly above it, especially in wood-burning stoves. Mid-range 700-1200€ Helo is close to Harvia's price level, but emphasizes technology and modern design. Mid-range 600-1200€ Iki and Tulikivi clearly represent the premium segment, where appearance and sauna quality are the focus. Mid-range 1200-2000€ The right heater can usually be found based on your budget, intended use, and desired experience. Summary The differences between sauna heater manufacturers are particularly visible in the design, number of stones, heating method, technical solutions and, of course, price. Domestic brands such as Harvia, Narvi and Helo offer reliable basic solutions for different needs, while Iki and specialist manufacturers offer options for impressive design and unique saunas. Choosing the right sauna heater makes sauna bathing an experience – and when you combine a high-quality sauna heater with, for example, good sauna scents, you get an even more invigorating and fresh experience from your sauna.

Menthol's refreshing effect on the respiratory tract and recovery in the sauna
For many Finns, a sauna is a place where the body and mind can take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In a sauna, people relax, recover after exercise and calm down before going to sleep. One of the most popular additional elements of sauna bathing is menthol, whose refreshing and cooling effect is felt both in the respiratory tract and throughout the body. But why does menthol feel so special, and how can it be utilized in the sauna in the best possible way? What makes menthol unique? Menthol is a natural compound that is obtained, for example, from mint. Its characteristic property is a cooling and refreshing feeling, although it does not actually lower the body temperature. This is because menthol activates nerve endings that transmit the message of “coolness” to the brain. Therefore, it brings relief to, for example, the respiratory tract and gives a refreshing effect throughout the sauna session, making it longer lasting and more enjoyable. Therefore, it can be said that menthol is an excellent sauna scent. Menthol in the sauna – relief for breathing The heat of a sauna combined with the fresh menthol can feel particularly pleasant in the respiratory tract. Many people find that menthol mixed with steam opens up congestion and makes breathing easier. It is not a medicine, but it can act as a gentle aid, for example during flu season or allergy season . When menthol is used in sauna water, a pleasant sauna scent is created that fills the entire sauna with its freshness. This makes sauna bathing an experience that refreshes both body and mind. Menthol is also called sauna ice as a sauna product. Recovery after exercise Menthol not only refreshes the respiratory tract, but it can also support the body's recovery . The heat of the sauna relaxes muscles, improves blood circulation and increases metabolism. When combined with the cooling sensation of menthol, many people feel lighter and more refreshed after a sauna session. This makes menthol an excellent supplement for fitness enthusiasts , athletes or active people. Practical tips for using sauna crystals in the sauna Sauna ice with menthol: Add menthol crystals to a bowl that can stand on the stones of the sauna and let it release its fresh scent with the steam little by little. Sauna fragrance and steam crystals: Convenient options for mixing, which dissolve in the steam water and provide a consistent scent. Try different strengths: Everyone experiences menthol differently – start with a small amount and gradually increase until you find your own balance. Why choose menthol sauna products?

In top sports, cold and hot treatments are increasingly used, which also partly stems from sauna culture. 3.

The benefits of hot-cold therapy for the body and mind
Traditional Finnish sauna culture often involves alternating between a hot sauna and a cooling shower or a cold shower. This practice is called cold-hot therapy, and its popularity is explained by its diverse well-being effects – for both body and mind. Social media shows that many top athletes favor this method, especially as part of recovery and honing their bodies to peak condition. But what are the benefits of this alternation, and why is it worth making it part of your own sauna routine? What does hot-cold therapy mean? Cold-hot therapy means alternating heat and cold, for example between a sauna and a cold shower. The treatment is based on activating blood circulation, balancing the nervous system and supporting the body's own recovery ability through various methods. This type of temperature variation has been used for centuries as part of folk healing and is now also used in the recovery of top athletes. 1. Improves blood circulation and metabolism The heat of the sauna dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow . When the body is suddenly exposed to cold, the blood vessels constrict. This "vascular workout" improves blood circulation and can help remove waste products from the body. Regular alternating between hot and cold can also support lymph circulation and reduce fluid retention in human tissues. 2. Speeds up muscle recovery Many athletes use hot and cold therapy to relieve muscle tension and strain. Heat relaxes and eases muscle pain, while cold reduces inflammation and swelling. The variation helps the body recover faster and relieves muscle tightness. 3. Strengthens immunity Alternating exposure to cold and heat acts as a natural stimulus for the body, stimulating the immune system. Many people find that regular sauna use and exposure to cold reduce their chances of getting sick, although scientific research on the subject is still in its infancy. The popularity of open-water swimming is also based on health benefits, which are strongly linked to cold-hot therapy. 4. Supports stress relief and sleep quality The heat of a sauna is known to calm, and the cold to awaken – this alternation can help balance the nervous system, reduce stress and improve sleep quality. Many people experience a deep sense of relaxation after a sauna and cold exposure, which can help them fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly. 5. Refreshes the skin and is good for breathing Sweating in the heat cleanses the pores, and the cold closes them again. The end result can be a cleaner and firmer skin. When combined with the treatment with Sauna Menthol , the effect also extends to the respiratory tract – the fresh menthol opens the breath and refreshes the mind. Menthol sauna ice as part of the treatment Sauna Menthol's natural and effective Sauna Menthol sauna ice makes cold-hot treatment even more enjoyable. The cooling effect of menthol is felt on the skin and in the respiratory tract, and it is ideal for use in conjunction with sauna bathing before or after exposure to cold. The product is used by simply adding a small amount of sauna ice crystals to the sauna water. The end result is a fresh and refreshing sauna experience. Compared to traditional sauna scents, menthol crystals are comparatively very strong and effective. Just a few menthol crystals are enough to create an exceptionally fresh, refreshing and cooling feeling in the sauna. How to start hot-cold therapy Start with a sauna – warm up for 10–15 minutes to activate your body and blood circulation. Go cold – take a cold shower or dip outside or in an open area. Return to the sauna – warm up again and repeat the treatment cycle as needed. Use Sauna Menthol – refresh the experience with the freshness of menthol. Effectively opens the airways. Summary Hot-cold therapy is an easy and effective way to support the well-being of the body and mind. It is a perfect part of the sauna tradition and works perfectly in combination with Sauna Menthol sauna ice. Whether you are relaxing or recovering from a workout, this combination offers a natural and refreshing way to take care of yourself. Discover Sauna Menthol sauna fragrance here.

What and how is menthol crystal made?
Menthol crystals (sauna ice) have become very popular as a sauna scent, but few people know where these refreshingly fresh crystals actually come from and how they are practically made. In this article, we will delve into the origin of menthol, the manufacturing process and why natural menthol is a popular choice for sauna use. What is menthol? Menthol is a natural compound found especially in mint plants, such as peppermint and Japanese mint (Mentha arvensis). Menthol is responsible for the cooling sensation and fresh scent of mint. It belongs to the terpene alcohols and is known for its ability to activate the body's cold receptors - this creates the characteristic cool and refreshing sensation of menthol, even though there is no actual drop in temperature. Making menthol crystals – step by step Although menthol can also be produced synthetically, high-quality menthol crystals like Sauna Menthol are made naturally from mint oil without any artificial ingredients. Here are the main steps in the process: 1. Cultivation and harvesting of mint plants Menthol is mainly produced from the Mentha arvensis variety, which is cultivated mainly in Asia. The plants are grown in organic conditions and harvested when ripe – usually twice a year. 2. Essential oil distillation After harvesting, the mint leaves are dried and steam distilled to produce mint oil (peppermint oil or Japanese mint oil). This oil is rich in menthol and other aromatic compounds, such as menthol and isomenthol. 3. Crystallization of menthol Menthol is separated from distilled mint oil by cooling the oil under controlled and very precise conditions. During cooling, the menthol naturally crystallizes , allowing it to be separated from the other components of the oil. The end result is white, strongly scented menthol crystals with a menthol content of up to 99%. 4. Cleaning and packaging Menthol crystals are carefully cleaned and inspected to ensure quality. High-quality products are free of impurities and are safe for use in saunas, for example. The crystals are packaged in airtight packaging, where they remain effective and fresh for a long time. As a rule of thumb, the larger the crystals, the purer the concentration. It is difficult to control the size of the crystals because they are produced using natural methods. For this reason, larger crystals may occasionally appear in the Sauna Menthol package. The crystal can be easily broken through the bag by lightly squeezing or clicking it to make it smaller. Is menthol crystal a natural product? Yes. When menthol is naturally produced from mint oil by distillation and crystallization, it is a completely natural product , without any synthetic additives. Such menthol crystals are well suited for use in saunas, steam inhalations or even foot baths. Sauna Menthol menthol crystals are 100% natural in origin and contain no artificial fragrances or fillers. You can use them safely and worry-free in your sauna water, enjoying the clean and fresh feeling of breathing air as part of your sauna routine. Summary – why is menthol crystal an excellent choice for a sauna scent? Made naturally from peppermint oil Menthol content up to 99% ensures a strong, refreshing effect Contains no artificial chemicals or additives Perfect for sauna use, opens airways and refreshes The journey of menthol crystals from mint leaves to sauna water is an example of combining nature and tradition with modern well-being. The next time you add Sauna Menthol sauna fragrance to your sauna water, you can be sure that you are using a product that is based on centuries of cultivation expertise and a carefully refined manufacturing process. This sauna fragrance is guaranteed to leave you cold.

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.
