Aufguss briefly
“Aufguss” is German for “infusion.” It is a multisensory sauna theater combining the use of essential oils, music, a storyline, ice and exceptional towel work. It is a choreographed performance people can enjoy whilst simultaneously experiencing the health benefits of sauna.
The Aufguss performance consists of multiple elements, including essential oils and ice. Image from Aufguss WM.
