Sauna Whisk | Sauna Quast made of Linden Leaves

Linden–Quast from Estonia

Linden whisk, linden quast for relaxation in a traditional way.

Massage by gently tapping with an oak whisk:

• relaxes muscles
• helps with pain
• helps relieve tension
• stimulates circulation

Take some time for your quast massage.

Basically, the temperature should not be too high.
You will achieve an optimal effect at 70-90 degrees.

Start with a light tapping massage on the legs, moving up to the hands, over the arms, abdomen and chest, and finally over the back.

By tapping with the quast, blood circulation is stimulated and a feeling of relaxation sets in. The various essential oils facilitate breathing,
cleanse the body, purify and detoxify.

What you should consider before the first use of a dried quast:

How to properly prepare sauna whisks

For your sauna whisk to unfold its full effect, it should be properly prepared before its first use. Soaking makes the branches pliable, the leaves soft, and the natural fragrances optimally released.

Preparation of birch, oak, and linden whisks:

The following procedure is recommended for most sauna whisks:

1. First, briefly rinse the sauna whisk with cold water.
2. Place the whisk, stem down, in a heat-resistant container.
3. Pour hot, no longer bubbling boiling water over only the lower part of the branches (approx. 10–12 cm).
4. Cover the container with cling film or a lid and let the whisk steep for about 20 to 30 minutes.

This method gently moistens the sauna whisk without the leaves absorbing too much water or losing their firmness.

Tip

Use the soaking water for an infusion or hang the whisk on the wall and spray some water on it a few times during your sauna session. This way, the natural oak scent can unfold in the room!

Care and storage of sauna whisks

With proper care, your sauna whisk will remain supple longer and can be used multiple times – depending on use and condition.

After the sauna session, the whisk should be thoroughly rinsed with clear water to remove sweat and residues. Then, gently shake off excess water and let the whisk dry in a well-ventilated, shady place. Direct sunlight and heating heat should be avoided, as these can make the leaves brittle and cause them to fall off faster.

Once completely dry, store the sauna whisk in a dry, cool, and light-protected place. This way, its natural properties will be preserved for as long as possible.
