An herbal sauna infusion is an easy way to add a natural botanical aroma to your sauna session. The herbs are often packed in a small bag or pouch that keeps leaves and stems contained while they steep.
How to Prepare an Herbal Sauna Infusion
Place the herbal infusion pouch in a suitable heat-resistant container and pour hot water over it.
Allow the herbs to steep so the water can absorb their natural aroma.
Steeping time may vary depending on the herbal blend and product, so follow any instructions provided with the specific infusion when available.
How to Use the Infusion in the Sauna
The resulting aromatic liquid can be incorporated into your sauna ritual.
A small amount may be added to water used for creating aroma in the steam room if this is compatible with your sauna heater and its manufacturer instructions.
Do not pour concentrated herbal infusion directly onto electrical heating elements or other heater components unless the manufacturer specifically permits it.
What to Do With the Herbs After Steeping
After use, allow the pouch or herbs to cool.
If the product is intended for single use, dispose of it after the sauna session. If the manufacturer allows repeated use, follow the instructions provided with that specific product.
An herbal sauna infusion is a simple way to bring natural fragrance into the steam room and add variety to your sauna ritual.
