The benefits of using sauna rituals are widely recognised in the wellness industry, which is why the proposals for user enjoyment are becoming more and more innovative and attractive. To this end, the Herbal Sauna of Myrtha adds a new dimension to the therapeutic benefits that can be offered to spa clients.
The Myrtha Herbal Sauna resembles a traditional sauna, but incorporates two sauna cookers with a steam outlet in the middle, which gently releases herbal vapours through a grille.
The interior of the sauna features attractive "green walls" with plant boxes filled with dried herbs, spices and aromatic plants. This natural décor not only creates an environmentally friendly ambience, but also provides a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere.
The use of herbs and natural essences in the sauna environment generates a variety of positive health effects, including a calmer mind and body, a deeper sense of relaxation and an elevated mood.
Herbal preparations, delivered through heat, are also believed to improve circulation, enhance lung function, strengthen the immune system and relieve various skin conditions.
Herbal preparations
The Herbal Sauna of Myrtha delivers its benefits in several ways. It begins by releasing warm spice extracts, such as ginger, which promote perspiration to naturally cleanse the body. Next, the steam opens the pores, allowing tiny medicinal droplets in the air to be absorbed by the skin. Next, inhaling the steam decongests and strengthens the respiratory system. Finally, after the sauna session, herbs and spices can be applied as a treatment in the form of a balm or poultice for the client.
Popular herb and spice selections for the sauna experience include jasmine, lemongrass, lotus flower, ginger, turmeric, kaffir lime, lavender, eucalyptus, camphor and menthol.
Beyond all the physical benefits of the natural vapours, clients can leave their sauna experience with improved mental clarity and a deeper sense of inner peace.
Myrtha's wellness director, Stefano Cattaneo, comments: "The Myrtha Herbal Sauna is the most contemporary thermal experience in the spa and wellness industry, combining sophisticated engineering and technical power with natural remedies and eco-chic appeal".
