Aufguss Ritual – A sensory wellness experience
ABOUT AUFGUSS
Aufguss is a traditional sauna ritual originating in Germany, Austria, and the Nordic countries; in recent years, it has become one of the most popular wellness experiences in modern spa facilities. The ritual combines heat, fragrance, music, and carefully choreographed movements to create an intense, unique experience for both body and mind.
During the ritual, a trained Aufguss master leads the session inside the sauna. Ice balls or crushed ice infused with essential oils are placed on the hot stones. As the ice melts, aromatic scents are released, filling the room. Using towels or fans, the Aufguss master circulates the hot air throughout the sauna using specific techniques and movements.
The circulating heat makes the temperature feel higher than in a standard sauna session, while the essential oils stimulate the senses and promote relaxation, energy, or mental balance, depending on the scents used.
