Herbal Sauna

The herbal sauna is a tradition originating from South Tyrol that combines the benefits of sauna with the healing properties of aromatic herbs. In this type of sauna, alpine plants such as rosemary, lavender, and thyme are sprinkled on hot stones to release their essences. The warm, humid air enriched with herbal vapors creates an ideal environment for relaxation and body purification.

The benefits of the herbal sauna are numerous. First of all, it improves blood circulation, promoting better oxygen supply to the tissues. The herbs, due to their anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties, help to clear the respiratory tract, making it particularly useful for those who suffer from allergies or colds. Furthermore, the herbal sauna alleviates stress and anxiety, allowing one to enjoy a deep state of relaxation and well-being.

To make the most of the herbal sauna, it is advisable to prepare properly. Before entering the sauna, it is important to stay well-hydrated by drinking water or herbal teas. During the session, it is possible to alternate between relaxing in the sauna and taking brief cool showers to stimulate circulation and tone the skin. Finally, to maximize the benefits, it is best to dedicate some time to resting after the sauna, allowing the body to recover and absorb all the properties of the herbs.
