Sauna infusion – perfume for body and spirit
Who doesn’t know the great feeling after a spell in the sauna? Especially in the cooler seasons, the warmth is really good for body and soul. A pleasantly scented infusion can supplement the positive effects, as scents stimulate the senses, thus
releasing emotional reactions.
Humans are greatly influenced by scents – even when we do not notice them consciously. “Smells play a role at many levels in a person’s life. As well as the mysterious effect of scents on the subconscious, there is also a whole range of physical and mental functions that are directly affected,” says Volker Eckstein, manager of the Wellness Division at KLAFS. Since they are absorbed on the one hand by the skin and the mucous membranes and, on the other, directly into our vegetative and central nervous systems by means of our sense of smell, essential oils have a holistic effect.
Lavender, for example, has a balancing, calming, but also stimulating and regenerating effect. For this reason the scent is particularly recommended to combat stress, sleeplessness or depression. Eucalyptus and lemon, on the other hand, have a very refreshing and revitalizing effect, while mountain pine and Douglas fir improve concentration. There is also a suitable scent for meditation and relaxation. Here, for example, vanilla or incense is used. In contrast, rosemary and ginger really lift the spirits. They are stimulating and invigorating.
Fortifying and relaxing scent experiences are particularly intensive in the sauna if the heart of the sauna – the sauna oven – is also equipped for numerous infusions. The Majus oven by KLAFS, for instance, has a particularly large number of olivine stones. An especially original sauna experience is when the SaunaPur function switches off the oven completely, with the result that a soft radiating heat can be felt with intensive infusions, just as you like it.
Individual needs require effective solutions: This means that those who want to strengthen their immune systems in the sauna and supplement the positive effect even further should make sure to get the right sauna oven. There is a huge range of infusion scents to choose from.
