Imagine stepping into a sauna where a fresh scent of mint envelops you and a cooling sensation spreads across your skin – despite the hot air. This is precisely the effect menthol crystals provide. With Sauna Ice menthol crystals, you can take your sauna experience to the next level. But what exactly are menthol crystals, how are they made, and why are they so popular in saunas? Here are the answers!

What are menthol crystals?

Menthol crystals are natural, concentrated crystals of menthol, the substance that gives peppermint its characteristic scent and cooling sensation. They are translucent to white, look like small needles, and have a strong mint scent. Upon contact with heat, menthol is released, providing a fresh, cooling effect on breathing and skin.

How are menthol crystals made?

Menthol crystals are produced by fractional distillation of peppermint oil. The oil is heated so that the different components separate according to their boiling points. The menthol evaporates and is then allowed to cool, causing it to crystallize. The result is pure menthol crystals – a natural product with a powerful effect.

Uses and health benefits

Menthol has long been used in various fields thanks to its refreshing and cooling properties:

• Health: Found in throat lozenges, nasal sprays, and liniments to relieve colds, muscle aches, and headaches.

• Food: Common in chewing gum, mint candy, and certain beverages.

• Aromatherapy and skincare: Used in essential oils and creams for a cooling and invigorating effect.

• Scented products: Found in sauna essences, air fresheners, and perfumes.

Menthol also has a positive effect on the airways by providing a perceived sensation of clear airways, which makes it especially popular in saunas.

Why use menthol crystals in the sauna?

Adding menthol crystals to the sauna is a simple way to create a luxurious and refreshing atmosphere. When dissolved in water and poured over the hot stones, the menthol evaporates, filling the sauna with an intense mint scent. The effect is immediate:

• Opens up the airways and makes breathing easier.

• Provides a cooling sensation on the skin, creating a unique contrast to the sauna's heat.

• Creates a fresh and clean scent that enhances the sauna experience.
  

For best effect, a few crystals in the sauna water are sufficient. They are very concentrated, so a small amount provides a great effect.
