What is a Classic Aufguss

The Classic Aufguss is, as the word "Classic" suggests, the ancient Classic-Traditional Aufguss ritual that originated in Germany and later spread throughout Northern Europe, including countries like Finland. The main focus of the Classic Aufguss is to intensify the heat experience in the sauna and promote deep physical purification through sweating. This type of Aufguss also aims to invigorate the senses with stimulating aromas, often limited to the use of essential oils. The atmosphere is characterized by an energetic and social environment. The sauna master uses a towel to distribute the aromatic steam through basic ventilation techniques, often in complete silence or accompanied by very light or relaxing music. Traditionally, interaction and communication between participants are encouraged, making the experience collective and shared.

Participating in a Classic Aufguss offers numerous benefits for the body and mind, including a significant improvement in blood circulation. The intense heat not only opens pores but also facilitates a deep cleansing of the skin, aiding in the elimination of toxins through sweat. The variations in humidity and temperature within the sauna stimulate circulation, improving oxygenation of tissues and the distribution of essential nutrients throughout the body. This process contributes to a general sense of well-being, promoting cellular regeneration and strengthening the immune system.

The Classic Aufguss sessions, along with the warm and tranquil sauna environment and relaxing aromas, also help reduce stress levels and promote a general sense of well-being.
