🌿 Recommendation

During sauna rituals, the master traditionally uses an even number of whisks. For effective whisking, we recommend purchasing an even quantity.

Experience a gentler touch with this soft red oak whisk, which is perfect for self-whisking and for use in the sauna. Soft red oak is known for its smooth, flexible branches, and delivers a relaxing, soothing massage while stimulating circulation. It is ideal for those who prefer a milder, more calming sauna experience.  

The hardness or softness of plant leaves depends on the environment in which they grow.  If the soil is moist, the density of the leaf tissue is determined by the availability of nutrients and sunlight. Therefore, the leaves and stems are soft.

Benefits

  • Perfect for whisking and aromatherapy: The wide leaves ensure even steam distribution and provide a pleasant, gentle touch.The light and soft red oak whisk provides excellent quality and gives off a strong, intense aroma. The oak leaves heat up quickly in the sauna and retains heat well.
  • Skin benefits: The oak reduces pore size, making oak whisks ideal for those with oily skin. Using this whisk makes the skin more elastic and reduces shine. It has a tightening effect.
  • Health benefits: It has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, providing relaxation and relief from stress. It can also help to combat high blood pressure. It is also recommended for vein problems and varicose veins. If your feet sweat a lot, it is also advisable to use an oak whisk.

Preparation for use

  • First : correcting , adjusting if branches are needed. I reinforce, cheese more strongly with extra string.
  • Fast way: Sprinkle whisks with water (warm shower would be perfect) and put them in waterproof bag or box. Put it in warm place (e.g. sauna) for 1-2 h. And in most cases the whisks will be ready to use.
  • Regular way: dip them briefly in water and arrange them, dipping them like flowers, stem side down. Leave for a few hours. The whisk gets a drink of water through the stem. It becomes supple and soft.
  • It is not recommended to keep the whisks soaked in water for long periods of time. The leaves should be kept moist, elastic and light during all bathing session.

Storage conditions

For a longer period of time: Remove the packing film from the box, if present. Store in a cardboard box: in a dry, well-ventilated but unheated room, out of direct sunlight. For example, in a garage, outside storage room, etc. The aim is to prevent the whisks from drying out or shattering (then molding).To make the whisks ventilate better, you can make a few holes in the carboard for better ventilation.

How it should be used?

Whisking with whisks is a traditional sauna practice in which the body is warmed and massaged with specially prepared whisks. This can be done either on yourself or on another person.

  • Self-whisking – usually gentler, more for warming up and enjoying the scents.
  • Whisking others – can be more intense, with massage elements, requiring more technique and strength.

Here are some ideas of how it's done:

💨Gently slap the pre-moistened whisk from head to toe, including the sides and arms – from the shoulders to palms;

💨With each stroke of the whisk, the bath master blows hot air onto the body;

💨 The movements with the whisk are performed lightly and rhythmically.
