Your sauna is your inhalation therapy

Recommended by Thermowood Production - the #1 manufacturer of phyto-saunas in Ukraine and Europe.

🧖‍ Steaming as a health ritual

A sauna is not only about warmth and sweat. It is, first of all, about breathing . Hot air, saturated with essential oils of herbs and wood, penetrates deep into the lungs, cleansing, toning and healing.

Thermowood Production designs its saunas so that the space is maximally saturated with natural aromas .

🍃 What happens when you inhale steam with essential oils?

🔹 1. Dilation of the airways

At high temperatures, the pores of the skin open, the bronchi expand , and you literally inhale every sip of healing steam to its full depth.

🟢 Peppermint :

opens the airways
relieves inflammation of the mucous membrane
makes breathing easier when your nose is stuffy

🟢 Wormwood :

kills viruses and bacteria
purifies the air in the sauna
acts as a natural antibiotic

🟢 St. John's Wort :

strengthens the immune system
soothes throat irritation
Improves sleep after steaming

🟢 Sage and eucalyptus (optional) :

indispensable during flu, colds, allergies
destroy pathogenic microbes
have a powerful antiviral effect

🌬 How does it work in practice?

When you enter the Thermowood Production phytosauna , the following happens:

The steam passes through suspended bundles of herbs , like passing through a natural inhaler.
You inhale the steam-saturated air, and the essential oils instantly penetrate into the respiratory tract.
Breathing deepens, oxygen is better absorbed , and the lungs are cleared.
The triggered process of self-cleaning of the bronchi and alveoli is a natural detox.

And all this - without pharmaceutical drugs. Only the natural power of nature , which we integrate into each sauna.

🪵 Why are brooms not just an “accessory”, but a powerful therapeutic tool?

In the Thermowood Production phyto-sauna we recommend using professional oak brooms with medicinal herbs – this is a complete ritual in which aroma, skin contact and massage act simultaneously.

📌 Effects of brooms:

Aromatherapy through inhalation of essential oils
- oak, mint, wormwood, oregano - all release essential oils when steamed
Inhalation through the skin and mucous membranes
– while working with a broom, the pores are open, and essential substances also penetrate through the skin.
Tactile stimulation of the chest
- light patting with a broom improves blood circulation in the lungs and bronchi.
Psycho-emotional relaxation
– herbal aroma stabilizes breathing, normalizes blood pressure, relieves stress.
