Can I use essential oils in the sauna?

Yes, you can use essential oils in the KUNSANA sauna, but you should do so with caution. Adding essential oils can enhance your experience, providing aromatherapy benefits as you relax in the heat. However, it’s crucial to use oils that are safe for use in heated environments.

Essential oils like eucalyptus or lavender are popular choices, as they can create a calming atmosphere. To use them, simply place a few drops on a washcloth or in a bowl of water inside the sauna to release the scents gradually. Avoid applying oils directly to the wood surfaces, as they can cause damage.

Many users enjoy the dual benefits of sauna heat and the therapeutic properties of essential oils, making the sessions feel more luxurious. For example, using peppermint oil can invigorate you, making your post-workout recovery session more enjoyable. However, be mindful of any allergies or sensitivities; it’s best to do a patch test beforehand.

Pro Tip: Start with just a few drops to assess how you respond to the scent and effects; you can always add more in future sessions.

Consideration: If you have respiratory issues, it’s advisable to avoid strong essential oils that may irritate your airways.
