Special Aufguss, scrub, and relaxation sessions at Thermae Boetfort during Valentine’s week

 

Every day, our Aufguss masters host various Aufguss, scrub, and relaxation sessions for our sauna guests to enjoy. On special occasions, we adjust this daily experience to include themed sessions with carefully selected music and fragrances.

Rose and musk are popular scents for Valentine's Day. Rose oil has a calming effect on the airways, promotes relaxation, and helps ease anxiety. Musk is a stronger scent that also helps melt away stress.

In our steam bath, we also use chocolate, a scent known to trigger feelings of happiness. This powerful antioxidant protects the skin from external elements and stimulates collagen production for firmer, more supple skin.

What is an Aufguss session?

An Aufguss session is a sauna session led by an Aufguss master. As you get comfortable on one of the wooden benches, the Aufguss master prepares a fragrant blend of water and essential oils, pouring the mixture over the hot stones with a flourish. As the humidity and the temperature rise, you’ll start to feel the heat intensify. To increase this sensation, the Aufguss master moves around the room, fanning the warm air over your body you using a towel or a fan for an exhilarating rush.

After the session, it’s important to cool down properly. Alternating between hot and cold helps strengthen the immune system – something we could all use in these cold winter months!

During Valentine’s week, we adjust our scents to include rose and musk and even the music gets a romantic twist. Our Aufguss masters are sure to surprise and delight!

What is a scrub session?

Unlike our Aufguss sessions, scrub sessions are held in the steam bath. The sauna master will offer you an exfoliant, like salt, to use. Exfoliation cleanses the skin and helps keep it healthy.

Much like a classic Aufguss session, the sauna master moves around the room, fanning warm air over your body.

During Valentine’s Week, a chocolate scrub is added to the programme – a delicious treat for your skin that our guests love!

Which relaxation sessions can I choose from?

Halotherapy is incredible for you lungs, making it the perfect session for cold winter months. These sessions are held in our unique salt room, where the floors, ceiling, and walls are all lined with salt. A medicinal salt diffuser helps to clear the upper airways when inhaled.

We also offer special sound bowl sessions. These unique sessions are held in the relaxation area in the Silence Bar. The vibrations from the sound bowls resonate throughout your entire body!
