Tips & Tricks for Using the SweatTent
I've been making herb infused water to pour over the rocks for a bit of aromatherapy, that's been a great sauna addition for me.
- Get a bunch of fresh herbs (I'm sure dried could work too)
- Pour boiling water over it
- Let it sit covered for 15-20 mins
- Strain well (really, it was not a pleasant smell for chunks of herbs I did not strain out to burn on the rocks)
- Pour over rocks and enjoy πππ
So far I've tried combinations of lavender, rosemary and mint

I drink lots of water before I enter the sauna. Plus I bring my water bottle inside to be sure I stay hydrated.

Sauna Rocks rusting?
I had to travel and it rained once while I was gone. The inside of the tent is wet and many of the sauna rocks now have rust on them. Anyone else experience this?

Some history on saunas
Was interested in @slater's polls on the history of saunas, so did some digging βΒ
apparently in Finnish culture, women often gave birth in saunas due to their cleanliness!!
has anyone heard of that before?!
