What is Sauna Herbal Cup
Herbal rituals
A special category of sauna rituals focused on relax and connection with the nature. We are returning nature to the sauna. Not only essential oils but also whisks, herbs, fumigants or infusions. All of these fill the sauna with a beautiful aroma. We create experience of nature, warmness and relaxation. Visitors can enjoy a wonderful atmosphere with pleasant music, dimmed light and gentle aromas. In terms of these rituals, you will not see any specific storyline but the nature becomes story and inspiration itself. Together we can look at different parts of the world, smell exotic plants or let ourselves be carried away to distant mountains.
After enjoying herbal ritual, you will be relaxed on one side and on the other side, you will get a new energy. You can also experience a kind of restart. Just as nature is diverse and rich, herbal ritual can be the same. You can experience sun and rain.
Competitors present their original concept of working with herbs or spices, infusions from aromatic plants or whisks. They also prepare their own mixture of the essential oils. The competitors´ rituals are something you will not forget for a long time! Competitors prepare their rituals carefully for a long time and select ingredients of the highest quality.

History od Sauna Herbal Cup
Project introduction and history
In 2013, a competition focused on the use of natural products in the sauna was created in the Czech Republic. In addition to classic performances in the sauna, there is also a peeling cup, a competition of peeling and beauty procedures in the steam bath. The competition took place in the years 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022. The finals were always held in the Czech Republic (successively: Relax Centrum Kolštejn, Hrubá Voda, Wellness Hotel Frymburk, Aqualand Moravia, Aquapalace Praha). From the beginning, the competition has been international with participants from many countries.
Since 2018, the competition has also been held in foreign countries (national rounds).
We are returning nature to the sauna, creating a new concept of the saunamaster’s work.
Connection with nature, harmony and humility, imaginative use of traditional and new procedures and bringing scents and natural products into the sauna are important and central.
