What are menthol crystals?
Menthol crystals are a crystallized substance from menthol, which is usually obtained from peppermint oil.
They are:
- natural menthol crystals

When menthol crystals come into contact with a hot heater or sauna, they release a strong menthol aroma.
The effect of menthol in the sauna
Menthol works in the body by activating cold receptors on the skin.
This is why a sauna can create a cooling sensation , even if the temperature is high.
Many sauna users describe the effect of menthol:

Menthol is also often used in sauna ceremonies at spas precisely because of this effect.
