Pure essential oils for saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and home wellness — AromaMist and Saunum aromatherapy sets at Collective Relaxation. Free shipping to the continental US.
Why Aromatherapy Belongs in Your Wellness Routine
The right essential oil transforms a good sauna session into a genuinely therapeutic experience. Heat opens your airways and pores — making them significantly more receptive to the therapeutic properties of essential oils than at rest temperature. A single mist of eucalyptus in a hot infrared sauna delivers respiratory benefits that would take much longer to achieve at room temperature. Aromatherapy and heat therapy are natural partners, and every sauna, hot tub, and steam room owner should have at least one essential oil in their wellness toolkit.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sauna Aromatherapy
What essential oils are best for saunas?
Eucalyptus is the most popular sauna essential oil in the world — it opens airways, invigorates the senses, and creates the authentic Nordic spa experience. Lavender is the best choice for relaxation and sleep. Spruce delivers a crisp forest scent perfect for meditation. For a complete starter experience, the AromaMist 3-Pack (Eucalyptus, Lavender, and Ylang Ylang) covers all three primary wellness goals — invigoration, relaxation, and sensory indulgence.
How do you use essential oils in a sauna?
With AromaMist spray bottles, simply mist 2-3 sprays into your sauna cabin — onto the walls, benches, or into the air — before or during your session. Do not apply directly to the heater or steam head as it can be dangerously hot. With Saunum Aroma Oil Sets, place a few drops into the ceramic bowl using the dropper and set it inside the sauna — the heat gradually releases the oil throughout your session for sustained fragrance.
Can you use essential oils in a hot tub?
Yes — AromaMist essential oils are specifically formulated for use in hot tubs, whirlpool baths, steam rooms, saunas, and showers. They are safe for use in water environments. Use standard essential oils sparingly in hot tubs — 2-3 drops is sufficient for a full hot tub. Always use oils formulated for bathing environments like AromaMist rather than standard diffuser oils which may not be safe for jet systems.
What is the difference between AromaMist and Saunum aroma oils?
AromaMist oils come in 4oz refillable cobalt blue spray bottles — convenient, versatile, and suitable for any sauna, steam room, hot tub, or shower. Saunum Aroma Oil Sets come with a 10mL bottle, a precision dropper, and a ceramic bowl designed specifically for use inside Saunum Air Sauna Heaters and AirSolo Climate Equalizing Systems. If you own a Saunum heater, the Saunum sets are the ideal pairing. For all other saunas and wellness environments, AromaMist spray bottles are the best choice.
Are essential oils safe for infrared saunas?
Yes — essential oils are safe for infrared saunas. Mist AromaMist oils directly into the cabin air or onto the wooden walls and benches — the wood will absorb and gradually release the scent throughout your session. Do not apply oils directly to the infrared heater panels. For infrared sauna users, eucalyptus, lavender, and spruce are the most popular and therapeutic choices.
How often should you use aromatherapy in your sauna?
You can use aromatherapy oils in every sauna session — there is no limit. Most sauna users mist their preferred oil at the start of every session and add an additional mist halfway through if they want to refresh the scent. A 4oz AromaMist bottle typically lasts 30-60 sessions depending on how many sprays you use per session, making it an extremely affordable wellness upgrade.
