10 things you might not know about sauna bathing
For Finns, a sauna is much more than just a place to wash, relax or escape from everyday life. It is a part of our culture, history and everyday life, surrounded by countless stories, traditions and surprisingly special details. Although sauna bathing is a given for many of us, there is a lot about it that few people really know. Here are ten interesting and sometimes surprising facts about the sauna, its history and customs, which can deepen your own sauna experience. Check them out. 1. There are more saunas than cars in Finland It is estimated that there are over 3.3 million saunas in Finland. That means almost one sauna for every inhabitant. Many homes have their own sauna, but saunas can also be found in cottages, swimming pools, workplaces and even in the common areas of apartment buildings. Saunas can also be found on ships, hotels and public buildings. For comparison, there are around 2.8 million cars in Finland. This says a lot about how central a sauna is to the Finnish lifestyle. 2. The use of menthol in saunas is a relatively new phenomenon Although the Finnish sauna itself is an ancient tradition, the use of menthol saunas only began to become more common in the late 20th century. Originally, menthol was mainly used for medicinal purposes, for example in conjunction with steam inhalation to relieve congestion. Since then, the refreshing and cooling effect of menthol began to be associated with saunas, and menthol products became popular, especially in winter, when they open the airways and bring its characteristic refreshing note to the sauna. This is exactly what Sauna Menthol sauna ice, for example, offers. 3. The first saunas were smoke saunas without a chimney A smoke sauna is the most historically original form of sauna. In it, the stove is heated with wood without a chimney, and smoke fills the entire sauna. After heating, the fire is turned off and the smoke is vented out, after which sauna bathing begins. The soft and even heat of a smoke sauna, as well as the smell of smoke, create a unique atmosphere that a modern electric stove cannot fully imitate. The construction and use of a smoke sauna require special expertise, and in many places this tradition is still strong. The number of stones in a smoke sauna stove is also many times higher than in a traditional sauna, so heating alone takes several hours. 4. The sauna is not just a Finnish invention – but Finns made it a culture Although the sauna is strongly associated with Finland, other cultures also have long traditions of steam and baths. The Russians have banya, the Turks have hamam, and the Japanese have sento and onsen baths. What makes the Finnish sauna special is its place in everyday life and culture. In Finland, the sauna is not a luxury, but an essential part of everyday life and community. It has been a place for purification, births, deaths, and important discussions throughout history. 5. The word "Löyly" does not translate directly into any other language “Steam bath” means both hot steam and the spirit of the sauna. It is a word that has both concrete and symbolic meaning. Many languages do not have an exact equivalent for steam bath, and therefore the word is often used as such internationally. There is a lot of tacit knowledge involved in the quality of a steam bath: how much water is poured into the heater, and at what rhythm. A good steam bath is soft, moist and pleasant, and not burning hot. 6. A menthol sauna can ease flu symptoms The effect of menthol is based on its ability to stimulate cold receptors in the skin and mucous membranes, which gives a cool and refreshing feeling without an actual drop in temperature. When menthol, such as Sauna Menthol , is added to the sauna water, it evaporates with the hot steam and spreads evenly throughout the sauna. This can relieve respiratory congestion and throat irritation, and many people use menthol, especially in the winter during flu season. A menthol sauna is not a medicine, but it can bring relief and increase the relaxing effect of sauna bathing. 7. Sauna use burns calories and activates blood circulation Although sauna bathing is not a substitute for exercise, its effects on the body are real. The heat raises the body temperature and speeds up the heart rate. This increases blood circulation and can burn up to 300 calories per hour, depending on the temperature and the duration of the sauna. At the same time, the body sweats profusely, which helps eliminate fluid and can bring a feeling of lightness. Regular sauna bathing, combined with a healthy lifestyle, has been shown to support overall well-being. 8. The first public saunas served as birthing centers Before hospitals became common, the sauna was often the cleanest and warmest place in the village. That's why births took place there. The hot steam killed bacteria and kept the air clean, and the heated sauna provided a peaceful and safe environment for childbirth. The sauna was also a place where the sick were treated and the deceased were prepared for burial. Thus, the sauna was strongly associated with the cycle of life from beginning to end. 9. Sauna temperatures weren't always as high as they are today In smoke saunas, the temperature was often 50–70 degrees, and the soft steam was created by continuously throwing water on hot stones, which are exceptionally abundant in smoke saunas. After electric heaters became more common in the mid-20th century, sauna temperatures rose to 80–100 degrees in many places. This is not necessarily a better or worse way, but a different one. Many people find the softer heat of a traditional smoke sauna more pleasant than the dry heat of an electric sauna. 10. The world's largest sauna is found in Finland The world's largest sauna is located in Teuva and is officially in the Guinness Book of Records. The sauna can accommodate over 250 people at a time. This shows how strongly the sauna experience is communal in Finland. Large event saunas and communal sauna use are part of the culture, and they bring people together in the same way as small home saunas in the family circle. Summary A sauna is much more than just a "warm room" where you sweat. It is part of Finnish identity, tradition and well-being. The history and diversity of sauna bathing make it a phenomenon that is both everyday and exceptionally rich. The menthol sauna brings a modern twist to this tradition, combining the old sauna ritual with a fresh and invigorating effect. Whether you are a fan of a traditional smoke sauna or a user of a modern electric sauna, there is always something new and fascinating to learn about saunas.

Where is menthol used and what is its history?
Menthol (also called menthol) is familiar to many Finns, especially from the fresh scent of the sauna, which opens the airways and creates a refreshing experience during the steam bath. But the use of menthol is not limited to the sauna — this natural raw material is very versatile and is widely used in cosmetics, food, the pharmaceutical industry and wellness products. In this article, we will take a look at the history of menthol and tell you where it is used today. The history of menthol: at the source of freshness Menthol has been used for centuries for its cooling, refreshing and invigorating effects. Menthol was first isolated from Japanese peppermint oil in the 18th century, and in the 19th century it began to be produced and used industrially on a larger scale in Europe. Originally, menthol was used primarily for medicinal purposes: to relieve respiratory symptoms, relieve pain and freshen breath. With the industrial revolution and the development of chemistry, menthol became an important ingredient in many different fields, and today it is produced both from natural sources and synthetically. Use of menthol in cosmetics and hygiene products One of the biggest uses of menthol is in cosmetics and personal care. Its cooling effect and fresh scent make it a popular ingredient in products such as: In shampoos and conditioners – menthol stimulates the scalp and provides a fresh feeling during washing. In skin care products – for example, gels and creams – menthol is used to cool and soothe the skin. In toothpastes and mouthwashes – menthol brings a feeling of cleanliness and coolness to the mouth, which is why it is used in almost all refreshing oral hygiene products. In deodorants and aftershaves – menthol's refreshing and cooling properties make it an effective and pleasant addition to products where a refreshing effect is needed. In cosmetics, menthol also surprisingly acts as a deodorizer and mild antiseptic, which increases its versatility. Menthol in foods and beverages Menthol is also widely used in the food and beverage industry, particularly in the production of peppermint and menthol flavors. Its fresh taste and cooling effect make it popular in, for example: In sweets and chewing gums In lozenges and throat lozenges In dental candy and refreshing drinks In ice creams and desserts where menthol is combined with chocolate, for example Menthol is safe in food use, and is used in very small concentrations to bring freshness and a recognizable taste. For example, the menthol crystals contained in Sauna Menthol are 100% natural menthol crystals, which can in principle be eaten. However, this is not recommended, but they are a completely natural product. The importance of menthol in pharmaceutical and wellness products The effects of menthol are not just about smell and taste — it also has physiological properties that are utilized in many medicines and wellness products: Products that open the airways, such as nasal sprays, cough lozenges, and steam inhalation products, utilize the cooling and refreshing effect of menthol. Pain gels and liniments applied to the skin often contain menthol, which causes a cooling sensation and can relieve muscle and joint pain. In massage and relaxation products, menthol has a refreshing and at the same time calming effect. Menthol's effect is based on the fact that it stimulates cold receptors in the skin and mucous membranes, which gives the brain a cool sensation — even though there is no actual drop in temperature. Menthol in the sauna – the perfect addition to steam baths In Finland, menthol is particularly familiar to us from sauna products. When menthol is added to the sauna water and the heater, it creates a fresh and respiratory-opening feeling that makes the sauna session even more invigorating. Menthol products, such as Sauna Menthol's sauna ice, are perfect for bringing a spa-style atmosphere to the sauna and effectively relieving, for example, congestion or flu symptoms. In the sauna, menthol evaporates with the steam water and spreads evenly throughout the sauna. Many people find a menthol sauna to be a particularly relaxing and cleansing experience – it refreshes the body and mind. Use of menthol in industry and other products Menthol's uses don't stop with consumer products. It's also used in: In tobacco and nicotine products (e.g. menthol cigarettes, snuff, nicotine pouches) to provide a cool taste — although menthol cigarettes are banned in the EU, menthol is still used in substitute products in some markets. In perfumery, because menthol's fresh scent often acts as a base or top note in perfumes. In the chemical industry and laboratory use in many flavoring and pharmaceutical components. Summary Menthol is much more than just a “fresh scent in the sauna”. It is a versatile and valued natural substance that is widely used in everything from cosmetics and food to medicines and sauna products. Its long history and versatile properties make it a highly sought-after raw material — and in Finnish saunas, its use is considered by many to be an essential part of a perfect sauna experience.

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.

Tips for safely dispensing menthol crystals in a home sauna – 5 tips for first-time users
Menthol crystals (sauna ice) are an effective and natural way to bring a refreshing scent and a respiratory-opening effect to saunas. More and more saunas have incorporated menthol crystals into their sauna routine, but for those trying the product for the first time, it is good to know a few important things about the correct and safe use of this sauna scent. The undeniably high-quality menthol crystals offered by Sauna Menthol are made using 100% natural methods and do not contain any additives. Here are five practical tips to ensure a successful and pleasant sauna experience with menthol. 1. Start slowly – less is more Menthol crystals are very strong. Just a few crystals (about 1-3cm crystal size) are enough to bring a distinctly fresh and cooling feeling to your sauna. Too much can cause irritation to the eyes and breathing, so start with a small amount and increase the potency as needed. Menthol crystals are very strong even in small amounts. 2. Do not place menthol crystals directly on the coils Menthol evaporates quickly and heats up strongly, so it should never be placed directly on the heating elements of an electric heater . In addition, the essential oil can ignite on the heater's heating elements. When placed on heater stones, the crystals can evaporate too suddenly when melted, which can have an unpleasantly strong effect. We recommend always adding menthol crystals to the heater with water. Instead, you can: Dissolve a small amount of menthol crystals in a steam bucket of hot water and pour the mixture onto the stones. Uses a separate aroma cup where you place the crystals with water to gradually evaporate. Dissolve the menthol in a larger sauna water container and use it when pouring the sauna. 3. Store menthol crystal properly Keep menthol crystals in a closed container, at room temperature and out of reach of children and pets. The crystals are a pure natural product, but their powerful effect can surprise you if handled carelessly. The melting point of menthol crystals is 41 degrees, so do not take them with the package to the sauna. 4. Avoid direct skin contact in large quantities Menthol is not dangerous, but it can cause a cooling or even burning sensation on sensitive skin. If necessary, use a small spoon to dispense the crystals, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. You can also pour the sauna ice menthol crystals directly from the bag and sprinkle them into the sauna water outside the sauna or quickly in the sauna. 5. Remember ventilation and consider the group Menthol affects everyone in the sauna. If there are children, the elderly or people with asthma, discuss its use in advance. Good ventilation and careful dosage ensure that everyone enjoys the sauna experience. However, the menthol scent evaporates quickly and does not leave unpleasant odors or residue on the sauna stones for a long time. So you can use it several times a week without worry. Summary Menthol is a powerful, natural and effective addition to saunas when used correctly. It is easy to use when you follow a few simple basic principles: dose in moderation and ensure a pleasant experience for all sauna users. Saunamenthol.fi offers high-quality menthol crystals and ready-to-use sauna products that help you take your sauna experience to a new level – safely and naturally.
