Which sauna accessories are necessary to get?

Let’s talk about the Sauna Whisk

Of course, the main accessory is the Sauna Whisk. Its main task is to activate blood circulation in human body. There is a wide variety of Sauna Whisk. You should make a choice depending on what kind of problems does the person have who decided to go to the sauna.

For example, oak sauna whisks will be an excellent solution for those who have some sort of skin issues. They are especially effective for the oily skin problem. If we can get some birch sauna whisk , then it will be a great option for the people who are concerned with rheumatism and various kinds of joint pain.

Useful properties of a birch sauna whisk: Truth and Myths

There is quite a lot of information about the useful properties of such whisk and their potential risks. But let’s try to figure out what is the truth and what is absolute fiction.

• Antiseptic action:
  

  Often, you will read that birch whisks have antiseptic properties, and this is somewhat While in the sauna, the surface vessels of the skin expand, and the whisk steam stimulates the blood flow even more. As a result, there is healthy blood circulation, improved metabolism, and activated immune system. Thanks to this, birch whisks help fight infectious diseases on the skin (but, it is clear from the description that the same effect can be obtained by using any other whisks too). Does birch whisk contain any substance that can have a destructive impact on infectious agents? There is no clear answer to this question. Perhaps, the birch tree indeed contains phytoncides that can kill bacteria. It is a possibility that this is a far-fetched action, but there is no actual clinical evidence of such effects.
  

• Muscle relaxation:
  

  Can a birch whisk relax muscles? Another good question and it does not have a clear answer either. Probably, the birch whisk relaxes the muscles due to the weak massage effect, which can be achieved by using any whisks. Does a birch whisk have any advantages in this sense? Probably not. At the same time, many people believe that birch whisk is softer and gentler than the oak But this is rather a subjective assessment. Some people like birch branches more than the others, and other people prefer oak or alder branches.

• Relief from bronchial asthma:

  Often you will hear that for bronchial asthma, it is necessary to use birch whisks because they help to improve breathing. In fact, bronchial asthma is an allergic disease. In its severe cases, it should be treated with great care. Visiting the sauna, even more helpful if coupled with some essential oils or even just smelling whisks, such as birch, can really give much relief from the allergic reaction. The birch whisk is unlikely to help in fighting against Asthma or any form of allergy, in fact, it can even sometimes be the cause of aggravation of the allergic process. Therefore, in such situations, it is better to avoid the use of any whisks, including a birch one.

Based on everything that is said above, a birch whisk does not have any particular advantages over their counterparts made from the branches of other trees. And it is the reality. You can choose it for its availability, pleasant sensations, personal habit or any other reason. But you should not expect any other advantages from the birch whisk compared to the oak one.

 Headrest is a necessary sauna attribute 

Might be , you know that the sauna has a great relaxing effect on the body. Therefore, when doing the procedures in the supine position, the place must be equipped with maximum comfort. The spine and muscles should rest in a comfortable physiological position. To do this, use a headrest.

The sauna headrest is a particular detachable piece that allows you to comfortably get a bath in the supine position by using it as a pillow. The most popular ones are wooden headrests, combined with natural fabrics (made of linen and cotton). They dry quickly, do not heat up in the sauna, easy to clean, and do not lose shape.

It takes into account not only the high temperature but also the high humidity. That is why such a sauna accessory will not only decorate space but will also serve the necessity.

When you choose a thermometer, you need to pay attention to the manufacture material. Usually, they are made of wood and metal.

In our opinion, the most stylish, convenient, and practical thing can be a round-thermometer. Often it is constructed upon a wooden base, and it externally looks like a clock. This thermometer is not afraid of water, and the lifespan is quite large. The thermometer has a scale from 0 to 140 degrees.

Some people believe that the sauna thermometer is not much of a necessary thing. However, you should know that high temperatures are extremely harmful for the body.
