SAUFLEX Herbal Bowl for Sauna
The SAUFLEX Herbal Bowl for Sauna is a stylish and functional accessory for natural herbal aromatization and gentle humidification of the sauna air. The bowl is suspended above the sauna heater and uses the heat from the heater to gradually warm water with herbs, leaves, needles or parts of a sauna whisk.
As the water heats up, the plant material releases its natural aroma, while the warm moisture gradually spreads throughout the sauna room. Depending on the plants selected, different natural aromatic compositions can be created: fresh birch, rich oak, cooling eucalyptus, mint or coniferous aromas.

What Can Be Used?
Various natural plants and herbal blends are suitable for the SAUFLEX Herbal Bowl.
A birch sauna whisk creates the traditional fresh, woody and leafy aroma of a classic sauna.
An oak sauna whisk provides a deeper, richer and slightly astringent woody aroma.
Eucalyptus creates a bright, fresh aroma with characteristic essential-oil notes.
Mint and lemon balm give the sauna air a fresh herbal aroma.
Pine and spruce needles create a distinctive coniferous forest atmosphere.
You can use either a single plant or create your own compositions from several types of plant material.
How the Herbal Bowl Works
The operating principle is based on the natural heating of water using the heat of the sauna.
The bowl is positioned above the sauna heater. The water gradually heats up while simultaneously warming the plants placed in it. This allows the plant material to infuse and release its volatile aromatic compounds.
Along with the gradually evaporating moisture, the natural aroma spreads throughout the sauna room.
At a water temperature of around 6070 °C, aromatization takes place gently and gradually.
At approximately 8095 °C, evaporation becomes significantly more intense, making the plant aroma more noticeable.
A short-term temperature of around 100 °C is possible, but continuous vigorous boiling of the water is not required for comfortable use of the herbal bowl.
Herbal Aromatization in the Sauna: Choose Your Natural Aroma
Fresh or dried leaves, parts of a sauna whisk, needles and various herbs can be used in the SAUFLEX Herbal Bowl. Add approximately 1 litre of water to the bowl, add the selected plant material and position the bowl above the sauna heater. As the water heats up, the natural volatile aromatic compounds of the plants gradually spread throughout the sauna.
