We all know the many benefits of a sauna – from relaxation and stress relief to improved circulation and skin health. But what if we could further enhance these benefits? Imagine combining the therapeutic heat of a sauna with the powerful effects of aromatherapy, amplifying the experience into something even more restorative and beneficial.
Sauna aromatherapy does just that, blending the soothing properties of essential oils with the heat of the sauna to create a unique wellness ritual that supports the mind, body, and spirit on multiple levels.
We’ve been wanting to combine the benefits of essential oils in our saunas for a while now. We knew the combination would take our sauna experience to the next level, offering new avenues for relaxation, respiratory support, skin health, and beyond. We just needed to find the right partner. Turns out they were right here in Norfolk all along.

We’ll be stocking via our new online shop the Sweet Orange, Eucalyptus and Lavender essential oils. They’re the perfect partner to your sauna sessions (either at home or in our seaside saunas).
These three scents have been hand-selected by our Founder, Tom, to heighten your sauna experience and provide targeted benefits:
1. Sweet Orange: Uplifting and Energising
Mood-Boosting: Sweet orange oil brings a bright, citrusy aroma known to uplift mood and reduce stress. It’s perfect for a revitalising sauna experience, helping to improve mental clarity and energy.
Detoxifying Properties: This oil supports detoxification by encouraging sweat production, which helps to clear pores and refresh the skin.
Immune Support: Rich in antioxidants, sweet orange oil can support immune health, adding a refreshing boost to each sauna session.
2. Eucalyptus: Respiratory Relief and Invigoration
Clearing Airways: Eucalyptus oil is popular for its ability to open up the respiratory system, making it easier to breathe deeply. The oil’s menthol-like properties are ideal for relieving congestion, especially when paired with sauna heat.
Muscle Relief: Known for its anti-inflammatory benefits, eucalyptus can also help soothe tired muscles, adding to the physical relief of the sauna experience.
Refreshing Scent: The invigorating, cool aroma of eucalyptus keeps the sauna atmosphere refreshing and energising.
3. Lavender: Calming and Balancing
Promotes Relaxation: Lavender is famous for its calming effects, helping reduce anxiety and promote a deep sense of peace. Adding lavender to a sauna session can enhance relaxation, ideal for unwinding after a long day.
Supports Sleep: With its sedative properties, lavender is an excellent choice for evening sauna sessions to prepare the body for restful sleep.
Soothing for Skin: Lavender oil is gentle and can help calm irritated skin, making it a wonderful choice if you’re seeking skin-nurturing benefits along with relaxation.
By incorporating these essential oils, your sauna sessions can be tailored to address specific needs — whether for mental clarity, respiratory support, or deep relaxation…and we can’t wait for you to start seeing the amazing benefits of our saunas being enhanced even more.
