How to Use a Wall-Mounted Aroma Bowl in a Sauna
A Stable and Safer Way to Enjoy Essential Oils
Using essential oils in a sauna is a familiar ritual.
However, the bowl itself is often placed temporarily — on a bench, near the heater, or moved around during the session.
This creates small but recurring issues: instability, spills, and unnecessary clutter in a space that is meant to feel calm and structured.
The real problem is not the bowl — it is the lack of a fixed placement.
Why Placement Matters
In a sauna, heat rises. Surfaces near the heater can become extremely hot, while benches are frequently used and easily disturbed.
When an aroma bowl is not fixed:
- it can be knocked over
- water may spill onto seating areas
- oils may overheat if placed too close to the heater
- the ritual becomes inconsistent
A dedicated wall position solves these practical problems.
The Logic of Wall Mounting
A wall-mounted aroma bowl provides:
- a stable, fixed location
- predictable exposure to heat
- easy access during the session
- clear benches and uncluttered space
Mounted at a middle wall level — not directly above the heater — the bowl allows controlled evaporation rather than sudden overheating.
This keeps the aroma experience steady instead of intense and short-lived.
Material Considerations
The base of the bowl is made from solid alder wood — a material widely used in sauna interiors due to its stability in heat and humidity.
Alder does not release resin, tolerates repeated temperature cycles, and remains visually calm in minimalist sauna spaces.

Suitable for Sauna and Home Spa
While primarily designed for sauna use, a fixed aroma bowl can also function in home spa environments where controlled essential oil evaporation is preferred over open placement.
