Transform Your Sauna Experience with Sauna Ice Balls

Saunas are all about relaxation, wellness, and rejuvenation. But what if you could elevate your sauna session into an aromatic retreat with sauna ice balls? These custom ice balls infused with essential oils bring a multisensory experience to your sauna, combining the benefits of heat therapy with the power of aromatherapy. Here’s how to make your own sauna ice balls and a collection of aromatic recipes to inspire your next session.


How to Make Sauna Ice Balls

Creating these aromatic wonders is simple, and the process adds a fun, creative element to your wellness routine.

What You’ll Need:

  • Frozen ice cubes
  • Food processor
  • Large plastic measuring spoon (1/2 cup or 1 cup size)
  • Essential oils of your choice
  • Freezer

Steps:

  1. Make the "Snow": Blend ice cubes in a food processor until they reach a snow-like consistency.
  2. Shape the Ice Balls: Fill your measuring spoon with the crushed ice. Add a small amount of water to help the ice stick together, and pack it firmly into the mold.
  3. Freeze: Place the formed ice balls in the freezer until they are solid.
  4. Add Essential Oils: Before your sauna session, drop 10 drops of your preferred essential oil blend onto the ice ball.
  5. Use: Place the ice ball on the sauna stones or in a water ladle. The heat will release the aromas, filling the sauna with therapeutic scents.
