The benefits of steam bathing have been recognized for thousands of years from ancient traditions to the its’ use in modern-day European and American health spas. Today steam baths are considered an integral method for purifying the body, increasing circulation, stimulating the immune system and encouraging complete physical and mental well-being.Therapists use steam baths in preparation for massage as a means of increasing the suppleness of the muscles and creating a deep sense of relaxation in the body and mind. Steam baths release toxins through the skin, and improve circulation and immune function.
Aestheticians prefer the use of steam to enhance their treatments. During a treatment the heat stimulates circulation while preparing the surface of the skin for better absorption of products. The steam cleans the skin through perspiration and creates an energy throughout the body that helps burn up fat.
Fitness users know that steam baths have a stimulating effect on the cardiovascular system. The pulse rate increases from 75 beats per minute to between 100-150 beats per minute during a 15-20 minute treatment. This increases blood circulation and enables the blood stream to carry greater amounts of nutrients to the skin, enhancing the nutritive status.
Steam reduces tension, fatigue and stress. It’s invigorating and will purify your body by releasing toxins from your pores. The powerful cleansing and healing benefits of steam will not take place until the body reaches 101 to 103 degrees Fahrenheit. With steam this is accomplished quickly and effectively and will not require long periods of time in the Comfort Steam Sauna!
