What's in our name?

In Germany, Aufguss is part of everyday life. It’s not a luxury: it’s a habit, a reset, a simple and powerful form of self-care. The word itself means “to pour something onto something”, referring to the ritual of pouring water infused with essential oils onto the hot stones of the sauna, releasing a wave of heat and scent that fills the room. It's communal, it's grounding, and it feels incredible.

In our name, we honour both this tradition and the experience it creates: the moment you step into the hot room, close the door behind you, and everything else fades away. The heat, the steam, the scent, they bring you fully into your body and into the moment.

With Aufguss Rituals we want to bring something meaningful to the sauna space. We offer organic essential oils of the highest quality: potent, pure, and made with care for the plants, the land, and the people behind them. Crafted for ritual, chosen for feeling.
