Hvad er Saunagus?
Saunagus is a form of aromatherapy held in a sauna, where your senses are stimulated using pure and natural essential oils. The result is a long-lasting feeling of relaxation and well-being.
How Does Saunagus Work?
In a typical saunagus session, lasting between 20 and 60 minutes, the Gusmester (Saunagus master) pours a mix of water and carefully chosen essential oils onto the scorching hot sauna stones. The heat releases the fragrant steam, which the Gusmester skillfully distributes throughout the room using a towel technique.
Why the Name 'Saunagus'?
The term originates from the Danish word 'havgus,' which describes the fog rolling in from the sea, much like the steam in saunagus.
