1. Sauna Hat – Protect Your Hair & Scalp
One of the most overlooked sauna accessories is the sauna hat. But did you know that high heat can damage your hair and scalp?
✅ Prevents overheating & dizziness
✅ Protects hair from dryness & heat damage
✅ Enhances comfort for longer sauna sessions
Investing in a high-quality sauna hat ensures that your head stays cool while your body absorbs the benefits of heat therapy.
2. Body Gua Sha – For Enhanced Detox & Circulation
Gua sha is a traditional technique that involves using a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin, improving lymphatic drainage, reducing muscle tension, and enhancing circulation. In the sauna, heat opens up pores and increases blood flow, making gua sha even more effective.
✅ Detoxifies the body
✅ Relieves muscle tension
✅ Reduces puffiness & enhances skin health
How to Use: Glide the gua sha tool over damp skin using gentle strokes along the arms, legs, and back to promote lymphatic flow.
3. Essential Oils – Create a Spa-Like Experience
Adding essential oils to your sauna experience can enhance relaxation and support respiratory health. Popular choices include:
🌿 Eucalyptus – Clears the airways and supports deep breathing
🌿 Lavender – Promotes relaxation and stress relief
🌿 Peppermint – Invigorates the senses and cools the body
How to Use: Add a few drops to a bowl of water and place it near the sauna heater (avoid applying directly to sauna stones unless specified safe for high heat).
4. Scalp Massager – For Stress Relief & Scalp Circulation
A sauna session is the perfect time to stimulate the scalp and encourage blood circulation. A scalp massager helps relieve stress, promote hair health, and enhance relaxation.
✅ Increases scalp circulation
✅ Reduces stress and tension
✅ Enhances relaxation and scalp stimulation
How to Use: Gently massage your scalp with circular motions while relaxing in the sauna.
5. Cork Ball – For Deep Stretching & Muscle Release
The heat from the sauna naturally relaxes muscles, making it the perfect time to release tight fascia and improve flexibility. A cork massage ball is a great tool for targeting deep muscle tension and promoting better mobility.
✅ Relieves muscle knots
✅ Enhances flexibility and aids in recovery
✅ Supports myofascial release
How to Use: Place the cork ball under tight muscles (like your shoulders, back, or feet) and apply gentle pressure while stretching.
6. Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle – Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated is key when using a sauna. An insulated stainless steel water bottle ensures your water stays cool even in high-heat environments, allowing you to refresh and rehydrate without worrying about overheating your bottle.
✅ Keeps water cold
✅ Prevents dehydration
✅ Safe for high temperatures
How to Use: Drink water before, during (if needed), and after your sauna session to maintain hydration.
