The power of herbs
To ensure that our healthy and beneficial natural herbs develop their full effect in the steam bath and organic sauna, we combine only the finest herbs from the Napf region and the Lucerne hinterland for our blends. With the right herbs, relaxation and enjoyment are even easier. In order for their positive effects to really take effect, it is important to use them correctly. Find out here what is particularly important.
Healing vapours for health and well-being
Herbs achieve their best effect in combination with warm water. Therefore, in many steam baths or in the bio-sauna, herbal mixtures are used, which have very different effects on the body and well-being depending on the variety.
The longer you stay in the cabin, the more effectively you absorb the active ingredients of the herbs used. In addition, there is a slight increase in your body temperature of up to 2° C, which gets the immune system going and can strengthen the entire organism, especially during the cold season. The respiratory tract is moistened in the steam bath and bio sauna, and the circulation and metabolism are also stimulated. The skin also benefits from the fragrant herbal steam.
Optimum organic quality
The Vaporsana® technology was born in 1979 from the idea and conviction of Walter Hunziker Senior about the activating power of medicinal herbs on the human organism. As a health-conscious wellness pioneer, he knew the effect of healing herbal vapours. To ensure that our healthy and beneficial steam baths unfold their full effect, we use only herbs from Swiss organic farms. The herbs that make your well-being blossom anew grow in cultivation areas of the Napf. All plants are carefully tended, gently harvested and expertly processed - without the addition of essences or chemical substances. In this way, the inner values of our herbs are preserved even after gentle heating. They unfold their beneficial effects in the steam bath but also in the water bath of the bio sauna or as a herbal infusion.
Napf herbs
The family farm is located on the Napf in the tranquil Lucerne hinterland. This is where our herbs grow, such as hay flowers, camomile, marigolds, lemon balm and lavender. They are carefully harvested by hand and then lovingly packed into our herbal pillows.
High humidity and great effect
When taking a sauna, the herbal steam is not only absorbed through the mouth and nose, but with the whole skin of the body. The ideal temperature is 45 - 65 ° C, plus higher humidity due to the evaporation in the water bath. In the natural herbal steam bath, pleasant temperatures of up to 50 % and a humidity of 100 % prevail.
But how do the active ingredients of the herbs actually get into the air in the herbal steam bath? This works via a special system of gentle steam generation, with an aroma tray to which the appropriate herbs are added depending on the desired effect. The active ingredients are released from the herbs via the warm, moist steam and thus enter the air in the steam bath.
Right application
In the bio-sauna, there is both an herbal sieve and the option of adding the pillows directly to the water container. The humidity created in the sauna then completely infuses them and releases a pleasant scent into the surrounding air. In the Nautur herbal steam bath, the herbal pillow is added directly to the water in the herbal bowl. The active ingredients of the medicinal herbs are inhaled via the steam or absorbed via the opened pores so that they can fully unfold their effect.
The right fragrance for the right mood
Choose the right fragrance. If you want to relax in the evening and fall asleep better, a mixture of mint and CBD is suitable, for example. Lavender also relaxes and has a balancing effect.
If you would rather brighten your mood and calm your nerves after a stressful day, we recommend a blend with St. John's wort, lemon balm, vervain and cornflower. If you want to naturally clear your respiratory tract of secretions, a mixture with sage, thyme and cornflower is the right choice. There are also many other herbs, each with their own positive effects on body and soul. Choose them according to your mood and need for relaxation.
