Saunagus, or Aufguss, is a guided Scandinavian sauna ritual involving a "gusmaster" pouring water mixed with essential oils onto hot stones, then using a towel in rhythmic motions to waft the aromatic, intense steam (or "scent") around the sauna, often with music, creating a meditative, relaxing and invigorating aromatherapy experience, typically split into rounds with cool-down breaks. It is a mix of aromatherapy, heat therapy, music and guided relaxation, helping to detoxify and refresh the body and mind.
