For use on sauna stones, the proper method is crucial for both safety and experience. Always dilute the infusion in water first. A common approach is to add a few capfuls (or according to the product's guidance) into a ladle or bucket of water, mix it, and then pour this diluted mixture evenly over the hot stones. This helps prevent the liquid from burning off too quickly or creating uneven, intense scent pockets.
Pouring the diluted mixture allows for a more controlled release of aromatic steam. The water turns to steam, carrying the scent evenly throughout the sauna. You can repeat this process during your session if you desire more scent, but starting with a small amount is advisable, especially if you are new to sauna infusions or are sensitive to scents.
Never pour the undiluted concentrate directly onto extremely hot stones, as it may flash-evaporate or even ignite. Similarly, you can apply the diluted mixture to wooden surfaces in the steam room for a softer, more ambient scent distribution that doesn't rely solely on the intense heat of the stones. The 400 ml bottle provides multiple uses, allowing you to adjust the amount based on your room size and scent preference over several sessions.
