Today, I am sharing more tips to enhance your sauna experience with these add-ons: essential oils, an AromaOne diffuser, and the HaloOne Salt Machine.

It’s rare for a month to go by without me discussing saunas (honestly, I could talk about them all day! lol), particularly Clearlight’s Infrared Sauna.

I love Clearlight®️ because they created what I think are the safest and most effective infrared saunas on the market. Their mission goes beyond just producing a product; it revolves around promoting total wellness. Over the years, they’ve also developed various accessories and features that enhance the health benefits of their saunas, creating a powerful combination for a truly positive therapeutic experience.

The Power of Aromatherapy in Saunas

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils to improve health.

If you’re familiar with essential oils, you know they’re not only about wonderful scents but also therapeutic benefits for both body and mind. I’ve been using oils for 25 years, and they’re an essential part of my wellness toolkit.

Question 1: What essential oils should I use in my sauna?

Jen’s Answer: 

Essential oils hold a natural power that benefits your body and mind. When inhaled or absorbed, they can help you relax, focus, and support your immune system.

When you pair them with your sauna session, the heat helps to release the oils’ aromatic compounds into the air, creating a calming and rejuvenating atmosphere that helps them to absorb deeply and quickly.

My Go-To Essential Oils and Their Benefits

• Lavender: Reduces stress and promotes restful sleep.
• Cedarwood: Soothes the mind, improves skin health, and offers a grounded, woodsy scent.
• Sandalwood: Known for its calming effect and ability to clear the mind.
• doTERRA’s Balance Blend: Combines calming oils for grounding and mental clarity.
• Peppermint and Orange: These citrus oils uplift mood, stimulate mental clarity and boost energy.

Bonus tip: make sure any oils you use are safe for aromatics (they should be labeled for inhalation) and of high quality. I personally love Rocky Mountain Oils and doTERRA, and you can find both on my Jen Recommends page.

Benefits of Specific Essential Oils

• Rosemary, Orange, and Peppermint: Have stimulating properties that can help enhance mental clarity for better focus, concentration, and mental alertness.Here’s how CBD helps:
• Rosemary, Cinnamon, and Ginger: Excellent for boosting blood circulation.
• Lavender and Chamomile: Known for their calming effects, which can alleviate insomnia.
• Cedarwood and Tea Tree: Have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making them beneficial for skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and dryness.
• Tea Tree and Eucalyptus: Have natural antibacterial properties that can help strengthen the immune system by helping fight off infections.
• Lavender, Bergamot, and Ylang-Ylang: Known for their stress-relieving properties.
• Citrus Oils (Lemon, Orange): Known for their uplifting properties and can improve mood and energy levels.
• Rosemary, Orange, and Peppermint: Have stimulating properties that can help enhance mental clarity for better focus, concentration, and mental alertness.

Years ago, and even before I had my Jenerate Wellness Center, I gave essential oil talks called “Your Medicine Cabinet Makeover.” They were loaded with tips and ways you can replace everyday, over the counter medicines with essential oils. One of my favorite exercises was when we’d use peppermint to stimulate and uplift their minds and mood. We’d place a couple of drops of oil in their hands, rub them together, form a cup with palms, and then take a couple long, deep breaths. Everyone always felt a immediate, positive experience.

Aroma One Essential Oil Diffuser: Your Sauna’s Perfect Match

Question 2: What is the AromaOne essential oil diffuser, and how does it work?

Jen’s Answer: 

The AromaOne diffuser is a game-changer if you love using essential oils. It transforms essential oils into a light, healing mist that fills your space. It can be used anywhere in your home, adding a refreshing touch to any room.

Here’s why the AromaOne is a must-have:

1. Portable Design – Use it on the go or place it in your sauna or other rooms.
2. Battery-Powered Convenience – Runs up to 4 hours plugged in or 2.5 hours on battery.
3. Ultrasonic Technology – Converts water and oil into a fine, inhalable mist.
4. USB Charging – Conveniently charge anywhere with a USB port.

The Aroma One Essential Oil Diffuser is a great gift idea for someone and the Holidays are right around the corner! You can add a little bonus too, like a 3 or 5-pack of your favorite oils, to make a fantastic bundle.

Halotherapy: Why Salt Therapy Matters

Question 3: What is the HaloOne Salt Machine?

Jen’s Answer: 

Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, brings in another layer of health benefits. It has been used for centuries to help with respiratory issues, skin conditions, and general relaxation.

This therapy mimics salt caves, creating a salt-rich environment. When salt fills the air, it’s believed to cleanse the respiratory system and support skin health.

If you want to add salt therapy to your sauna, the HaloOne Salt Machine is a good choice. Using Vibrating Mesh Technology, it creates fine salt particles (1-10 microns) that go deep into your lungs for maximum benefits. It releases salt into the air so you can actually enjoy halotherapy anywhere in your home.

The HaloOne’s key health benefits include:

1. Asthma Relief – Helps open up the airways and supports easier breathing.
2. Sinus Health – Can reduce symptoms of sinus infections and alleviate congestion.
3. Better Sleep – Supports those with snoring or sleep apnea.
4. Skin Health – Eases skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
5. Allergies – Can reduce the symptoms of seasonal and consistent allergies.

A quick story – when I started Jenerate Wellness Center years ago, “The Salt Room” was a business right next door. It was a fantastic combination for my sauna clients plus I personally enjoyed visiting it too.

I love salt therapy and have been to a lot of interesting salt rooms and caves around the world. I also have salt lamps in my home and office and not only love what it can do to neutralize the air, but it’s a soothing and relaxing ambiance. 

Overall, salt therapy, much like heat therapy, is a great way to improve health – but like everything else, there are also contraindications… so please dig into that for yourself.
