Sauna Bath

Now who would have thought you could actually accessorize your home sauna. Well, indeed you can find all sorts of sauna accessories to enhance your sauna experience.

The number one essential must have of all available sauna accessories is a bucket and ladle. There's no guessing about how much water to pour onto the rocks when you have the ladle. It will also keep your hand away from the rising steam and prevent burns. The traditional wooden bucket is still one of the most popular sauna accessories. These days though it comes with a little extra, a plastic liner to prevent swelling and contraction. Translation: no more leaking buckets. You can choose a metal bucket and ladle treated with powder coating - a very durable protective coating. Fascinating fact: this powder coating is so tough Harley-Davidson uses it to coat their motorcycle engines.

Although you don't plan on going to sleep in the sauna, other sauna accessories you may want to buy for your comfort and convenience are a combo head and back rest. It can do double duty and support your knees while lying on the bench. This means you won't be plastered up against the wall in that somewhat crooked, all bent over shape.

You definitely need to have the proper sauna accessories in terms of available lighting. The lights must be certified for use in saunas, and most often should be protected with rubber gaskets under the housing and between the globe and fixture.

A sauna is just not a sauna if you don't scrub your skin with a brush to stimulate blood low and slough dead skin off. These days, you can get them in one or two-piece designs. If you happen to be into aromatherapy, aromatic essences will appeal to you as sauna accessories. The essences come in a really good selection of scents, but they should never be added directly to the rocks or your heater. Put them into your full bucket of water, and ladle them over the rocks. The scent will waft through the sauna and wend its way into your home. So, be careful what scents you choose or you are not going to make someone's day. Choose scents with caution, as others may also be allergic to them.

And, here's another splendid nod to the home sauna owner's desire to have the best in sauna accessories - sauna soaps. They will clean you off, lift you up and invigorate your skin while under your cooling shower. And, bonus, you can use them at bath time as well.

But sauna accessories don't stop there. You can get stools, sauna flooring, door handles, hardware, vents, stones and mirrors and towel hangers. And don't forget towels, and a sauna humidifier and aromatic dispenser. The aromatic drip system allows you to pour your mixture into a ceramic bowl where the drip rate can be controlled. The sauna heart is a humidifier tube that adds constant humidity to the sauna room.
