Steam bathing whether it be dry (sauna) or wet (steam) has been considered
on of the simplest ways of ridding the body of toxins. The radiant heat used
in our saunas can actually penetrate an inch and a half to two inches deep
into the skin and can have therapeutic benefits.
As the pores of the skin open
up, millions of sweat glands start to excrete, the body excretes metabolic
waste products.
Perhaps the most immediate relief one will experience after a sauna session
is pure relaxation. In just a few minutes the warmth of a sauna will soothe
nerves and warm tight muscles. You’ll feel rejuvenated and renewed, restores
both body and mind as the warmth melts away the daily stresses of everyday
life.
Some other benefits of
steam and sauna are:
Provides a cardiovascular
benefits and helps condition the heart: The heart rate increases when
the body is exposed to high temperature,
improving circulation.
Soothes and relaxes
tired muscles. Heat can be beneficial for post workout relaxation. It can
revive tired and strained
muscles after physical exertion.
Help relieve allergies
and sinus congestion, help arthritis pain and reduce sunburn pain.
Helps
cleanse the skin as the pores open in your skin.
Exposure
to high heat creates an artificial fever state. Fever is part of the
body's
natural healing process. Fever stimulates the immune system resulting
in increased production of disease fighting white blood
cells and antibodies.
Sauna and steam rooms
can be an aid in weight loss. As you unwind, your body is actually hard
at work producing sweat and increasing
your heart rate,
which
in turn burns calories. Combined with a healthy diet and regular
exercise, sauna bathing can burn as much as 300 calories during
each session.
Can help relieve inflammation
and congestion of the upper respiratory membranes.
