Steam Therapy
Since ancient times, steam therapy has been used by traditional healing systems around the world to improve and maintain good health and beauty. Turkish baths, Indian sweat lodges, Finnish saunas, Japanese steam rooms-these are just a few examples of cultures that harness the power of steam.
Apart from simply being enjoyable, using a steam sauna has a variety of health benefits. As the steam fills the cabin with heat and envelopes the body, it can stimulate the immune and lymphatic systems, increase blood circulation, improve skin condition, relieve pain, and reduce stress.
The function of the body's immune system is of extreme importance as it defends the body against a myriad of bacteria, parasites, toxins and viruses. The heat within the steam canopy induces a kind of artificial fever, stimulating the body into increasing white blood cell productions and inhibiting the growth of viruses and bacteria.
The lymphatic system removes bacteria from tissues, transports fat from the small intestine and carries waste away from the cells. Steam saunas enhance the function of the lymph's cleansing action.
Sweating, increased heart rates and improved circulation also assist in the reduction of cellulite and weight loss efforts, as the body's metabolism is speeded up - resulting in more calories being burned - and toxins, excess fluid, and fat are sweated out.
Steam causes the body to sweat heavily, which opens skin pores and allows dead cells and deep seated grime to be washed out. This is particularly helpful when treating acne and various other skin conditions. Improved circulation gives skin a healthy and glowing appearance.
Heat is known to relieve muscular and joint pain. Blood vessels are expanded, circulation is increased and more nutrients and oxygen are being delivered to the painful or damages parts. As a result, the pain is reduced and the body's healing rate is increased. This in turn will speed the healing of damaged tissue.
Stress can cause a number of serious health problems and relaxing in the soothing atmosphere of a steam sauna is an excellent way to reduce stress. As muscles relax in the heat, tension is relieved and the mind is calmed. Taking a steam bath will promote the kind of deep and restful sleep the body needs to recharge and heal itself.
Steam therapy on a regular basis can improve a person's state of mind, health and appearance.
Benefits of steam therapy may include:
Increase the benefits with frequent visits
A steam therapy session can do you a world of good. Receiving steam therapy frequently can do even more. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you'll be and how youthful you'll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and money for self-care at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember, just because steam therapy feels like a pampering treat doesn't mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider steam therapy appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.
