“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.”  – Sidney J. Harris

 


Accessorizing Your Sauna


Some sauna accessories help in the function of the sauna, while others enhance the experience. There are many accessories from which to choose. The following list explains some of the more common accessories available.

Buckets – Sauna buckets are used in traditional steam saunas. They hold the water that is poured over the rocks to create steam. These buckets are usually made from wood and coated in a finish to make them able to stand up to the moist heat.

Fragrances – These usually come in the form of oils, and are added to the sauna to create an aromatherapy atmosphere.

Lotions – Use before or after the sauna to help beautify the skin. Some people choose to use lotions on dry skin before the sauna to prevent irritation.

Thermometers – The sauna’s temperature should be monitored as maintaining steady and proper heat is important for a good sauna. Body temperatures should also be monitored to prevent adverse health issues.

Hangers – Decorative hangers can be used to hang towels and clothing. They help keep the sauna area organized and attire close at hand.

 

 

Pillows and Pads – These accessories provide comfort during the sauna so you can relax and thoroughly enjoy your sauna experience. You can make your own customized pillow by wrapping a plain neck roll with a soft towel, then securing the ends with ribbon.
