Frequently Asked Questions

What is sauna aromatherapy?

Sauna aromatherapy is the use of aromatic essential oils or compatible diffusers to introduce fragrance into the sauna environment. Popular methods include diluted aromatic water for traditional Aufguss rituals and passive cedar diffusers for a more gradual fragrance experience.

What size sauna is best for the ETHOS 528 Sauna Freshener?

Our Cedar Sauna Freshener is best suited for small 1–3 person saunas. In these personal sauna spaces, one diffuser can provide a pleasant botanical aroma without requiring aromatic water or specialized equipment. Larger saunas may require a different approach to scent distribution, depending on room size, ventilation, and personal fragrance preferences.

Can I use the Sauna Freshener in an infrared sauna?

The ETHOS 528 Cedar Sauna Freshener is designed for traditional and infrared sauna environments. It uses a passive cedar-and-beeswax diffuser rather than water poured over hot stones. Always follow your sauna manufacturer's guidance for accessories and placement.

What is the difference between Aufguss Oil and Sauna Freshener?

Aufguss Oil is a concentrated essential oil blend used with properly diluted sauna water for traditional steam rituals when permitted by the heater manufacturer. Our Cedar Sauna Freshener gradually releases aroma as the sauna warms, making it particularly convenient for small personal saunas.

Can I use Aufguss Oil to refill my Cedar Sauna Freshener?

Yes. ETHOS 528 Aufguss Sauna Oil contains the same peppermint, eucalyptus, and tea tree essential oil blend and can be used to refresh your Cedar Sauna Freshener according to the product instructions.

Can essential oils be applied directly to sauna stones?

No. Never pour undiluted essential oils directly onto hot sauna stones or heating elements. For traditional Aufguss, follow the product's dilution directions and your sauna heater manufacturer's instructions.
