Meadowsweet whisk/bouquet, Lithuania herbs

• Anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving: Meadowsweet is called “nature’s aspirin” because its flowers contain salicylates that reduce pain and inflammation.
• Calming: Helps relaxation, reduces tension, soothes the nervous system.
• Immune-strengthening: Used during colds and flu, promotes sweating and detoxification.
• Fragrant: Flowers release a pleasant aroma that creates a fresh, clean feeling in the sauna.

Sprinkle the herbs with a little water, then hold the whisk over the sauna stove stones to release their strong, bitter-tasting steam.

Store in a cardboard box: in a dry, well-ventilated but unheated room, out of direct sunlight.

A whisk made from plants is usually used in saunas for aromatherapy purposes. A whisk is moistened and held over hot steam or hot stones in a sauna stove, releasing the wonderful aroma of the plant. The bath master usually waves the whisk or gives everyone a chance to inhale the aroma of the plant.

Branches and flowers are tied into whisks. They massage the body while releasing healing fragrance.

Aromatherapy: in bowls of water – steam fills with calming scent.

Tea in the sauna: Flowers are brewed into tea, consumed after sauna sessions to aid detox, relieve headaches, and boost immunity.

Infusions and decoctions: Used externally – pouring over the body tones the skin and refreshes.
