Fundraising for sports clubs, schools and associations – sauna products as a fresh and domestic alternative
For many sports clubs, school classes and associations, fundraising is an important way to finance activities, events and trips. Whether it's tournament trips, a camp school, new equipment or a joint event, well-planned fundraising can make achieving goals much easier and faster. Alongside traditional vendors, candy bags or calendars, new, practical and domestic alternatives have emerged in recent years. One such option is the use of sauna products in fundraising – and Sauna Menthol sauna ice, for example, offers a particularly refreshing and attractive opportunity for this. Why you should plan your fundraising carefully A well-executed fundraising campaign does more than just raise funds for an organization. It unites the community and creates a sense of community, helps reach new supporters such as local businesses, makes goals concrete, and builds a positive brand for the club or association. The key to success is to choose a sales product that arouses interest, is easy to sell, logistically easy to move, and brings added value to the buyer, or customer. Traditional fundraising products vs. new alternatives Many clubs and associations sell candy, toilet paper, socks or calendars to raise funds. These products still work in many places, but the market has changed. Selling candy is not for everyone, and many families want healthier options. Toilet paper and everyday items can be difficult to transport and store. Socks and similar products do not always stand out from the crowd. That's why many operators are looking for fresher and more ecological products that can stand out and be used to proudly ask for support. The products should be something that will truly be remembered by the customer. If the same box of candy is sold at an overpriced price year after year, it may not create the right impression of the operation. Sauna – a Finnish classic in the service of fundraising There are over 3 million saunas in Finland, and almost every Finn uses a sauna regularly. Sauna brings families, athletes, friends and work groups together. This is why sauna products as a fundraising product directly fit into the Finnish lifestyle and everyday life. The advantages of sauna products in fundraising include their domesticity, familiarity, versatility and easy storage. They are suitable as gifts, for personal use and for the cottage, and stand out from traditional sales products. Sauna Menthol – a fresh idea for fundraising Menthol crystals are an excellent addition to fundraising for clubs and associations. They bring a refreshing and easily marketable addition to traditional sauna bathing in the form of a sauna scent. The fresh menthol vapor opens the airways and makes sauna bathing an experience. The products are long-lasting, easy to use and suitable for sauna users of all ages, making them versatile gifts. Because menthol sauna products are still new to many people, they have the charm of novelty and distinctiveness as their trump card. Many buyers become interested in the product as soon as they hear the idea, and often return to buy more. This is how a fundraising campaign can be implemented with sauna products Plan your campaign – decide on the sales period, goals and responsible persons Order products or sample packs Briefly train salespeople – when the product is known and you know how to present it, sales are easy Market it fresh – tell people that by purchasing, you are supporting the activity and at the same time getting a high-quality domestic product.

Sauna use with the flu – does it make it better or worse?
The flu is an all-too-familiar ailment for us Finns – a runny nose, sore throat and congestion can paralyze everyday life for several days or weeks. Many people then wonder: would a sauna help ward off the flu? The traditional Finnish way is to head to a sauna, but is it really beneficial or can sauna bathing make the situation worse? In this article, we will review research information, practical tips, and safety instructions for a sauna trip with the flu. Does a sauna help with the flu? Saunas do not cure the flu, as it is usually caused by a virus, which has no quick cure. However, saunas can temporarily relieve symptoms : The feeling of warmth can ease muscle pain and body aches. Steam and moist air can temporarily unclog a stuffy nose. Relaxation improves sleep quality and reduces stress, which supports the body's own resistance and recovery. Several studies have found that regular sauna bathing can reduce the incidence of respiratory infections in the long term, but with an acute flu it's more about relieving symptoms. Of course, relieving symptoms and relaxing yourself also helps your immune system repair itself better. When should you avoid the sauna? Although a sauna can bring relief, it is not suitable for everyone during a cold . In these situations, it is better to skip the sauna: High fever: a hot sauna can strain the body and heart. Heart or respiratory diseases: heat stress may be too much. Severe weakness or dizziness: increases the risk of accidents. It is best to avoid the sauna. The general rule is to listen to your body – if you feel worse in the sauna, it is not the right place to recover. Let your body rest and take a sauna break when you feel better. Sauna tips for those with the flu If you decide to go to the sauna during a mild cold, keep these things in mind: Keep the temperature moderate – avoid saunas that are too hot. Go for shorter periods – for example, 5–10 minutes of steaming at a time. Remember to stay hydrated – the flu and a hot sauna dehydrate the body. Listen to how you feel – if your heart rate increases too much or you feel worse, stop immediately. Menthol refreshes and relieves stuffiness In addition to sauna steam, people with a cold can get help from refreshing sauna products , such as menthol. The cooling and opening effect of menthol makes breathing easier and brings a fresh feeling to the respiratory tract. Sauna Menthol has received a huge amount of attention as a product. Sauna Menthol is designed for just this: a small dose added to the sauna water fills the entire sauna with the refreshing scent of menthol. This can provide temporary relief from nasal congestion and make a sauna trip with a cold more pleasant. Summary Saunas do not cure the flu, but they can be a good way to effectively relieve symptoms, such as congestion and muscle aches. The most important thing is to listen to your body: if you feel unwell, you should avoid the sauna . However, light, short and moderately warm saunas can bring relief. Adding menthol sauna scent to the sauna is a natural way to freshen your breath and make you feel more refreshed, even if you have a cold.

Sauna bathing and athlete recovery – how sauna and menthol crystals support muscle maintenance
Sauna bathing is an excellent recovery method for active people and athletes. Heat, sweating and relaxation support the body's natural processes and help you recover from exertion faster. When sauna products, such as menthol crystals or sauna ice , are combined with traditional sauna bathing, recovery can be supported even further. In this article, we explain why the sauna is an athlete's friend and how sauna ice can take the recovery experience to a new level. The effect of the sauna on an athlete's body After a hard workout, your muscles need time and support to recover from the hard work. The heat of the sauna increases blood circulation, which speeds up the removal of waste products from the muscles. At the same time, your body temperature rises, which relaxes your muscles and eases tension. Sweating, in turn, helps to remove excess fluid and sodium, which can significantly reduce swelling. Regular sauna use has also been linked to improved endurance and heart health. As the body adapts to heat stress, oxygen uptake and blood circulation can also improve, supporting an athlete's long-term performance. The psychological benefits of sauna for athletes Recovery is not just a physical process, but also calming the mind. In a sauna, the body relaxes and stress hormone levels decrease, which promotes deeper sleep and mental recovery. Athletes especially benefit from this, as sleep is one of the most important factors in recovery. Menthol crystals and sauna ice to support recovery In addition to the traditional sauna, athletes can use sauna products that bring new dimensions to recovery. Menthol crystals are known for their refreshing, cooling effect. When added to the sauna water, they open the airways, refresh the mind and create a pleasant cool feeling on the skin in the middle of a hot sauna. This alternation of heat and coolness is somewhat reminiscent of cold-hot therapy, which is a familiar method for many athletes to relieve muscle pain. Sauna ice, on the other hand, releases menthol in a more controlled and longer time, making the sauna experience evenly cool and refreshing. With these products, sauna bathing becomes a more versatile and even more restorative experience. Practical tips for athletes taking a sauna Do not use the sauna after exercise until 30–60 minutes have passed at the earliest, so that the body has time to begin its natural recovery process. Avoid sauna sessions that are too long; 10–15 minute sessions are sufficient for most athletes. Drink enough water before and after the sauna, as sweating increases your need for fluids. Try using menthol crystals or sauna ice in the sauna water, especially after hard training days. Alternate hot and cool moments, for example with a cooling shower, which enhances muscle recovery. Summary Sauna is an excellent recovery aid for athletes and active people. The heat relaxes the muscles, improves blood circulation and helps the body recover from physical exertion. When combined with menthol crystals, or sauna ice , as a sauna scent, a refreshing and cooling element is added, making recovery even more effective and pleasant. Sauna bathing is not only a traditional Finnish practice, but also a modern and natural way of recovery that fits perfectly into an athlete's everyday life.
