If you’ve never experienced Saunagus before, get ready to be transported into a world where ancient practices meet modern wellness. Here’s everything you need to know about this transformative experience and why it’s the perfect addition to your wellness routine.
What is Saunagus?
Saunagus, also known as "Aufguss" in German, is a traditional wellness ritual designed to enhance the sauna experience. It involves a Sauna Master pouring water or ice mixed with essential oils onto the heated stones of a Finnish sauna. The result is aromatic steam that fills the room, distributed evenly by the rhythmic movements of a towel or fan.
Each session typically includes multiple rounds lasting 10-15 minutes, interspersed with breaks for cooling down, hydration, or light snacks. Essential oils like eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, and citrus are carefully selected to create varying effects that are refreshing, calming, or detoxifying.

Benefits of Saunagus
Whether you’re looking for physical recovery or mental rejuvenation, Saunagus offers numerous benefits:
Strengthens the Immune System
Regular exposure to the alternating heat of the sauna and the invigorating cold plunge boosts circulation and supports a resilient immune system.
Relieves Muscle Tension
The heat relaxes muscles and promotes recovery, making it a great post-workout ritual. Essential oils like peppermint enhance this effect, loosening up tension and aiding recovery from exercise-induced soreness.
Detoxifies the Body
The heat and essential oils encourage sweating, helping to flush out toxins and rejuvenate your skin.
Calms the Mind
The sensory stimulation of the steam, scents, and sounds promotes mindfulness, helping to reduce stress and enhance mental clarity.
Boosts Mood and Energy
Citrus oils and the endorphin release from the heat/cold cycle leave you feeling refreshed and uplifted.
Why Contrast Therapy Complements Saunagus
Contrast therapy, the practice of alternating between hot and cold temperatures, is seamlessly integrated into our Saunagus sessions. This process:
Increases Thermogenesis: Boosts your body’s natural heat production, enhancing metabolism and circulation.
Reduces Inflammation: The cold plunge after a hot sauna session helps soothe sore muscles and reduce inflammation, perfect for athletes and wellness enthusiasts alike.
Strengthens Mental Resilience: Moving between hot and cold sensations trains your mind to adapt and build resilience, a skill that benefits everyday life.
