Steam rooms, or saunas, have many benefits for the mind and body. Saunas can improve both a user's health and appearance---sometimes after just one use.
Helps Respiratory Illnesses
Respiratory illnesses that can be relieved by sitting in a sauna include bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma and allergies. A sauna exposes users to a much higher concentration of steam, thus better alleviating breathing and sinus problems.
Benefits Skin
Saunas cause the body to sweat, opening up and cleansing pores, which can help reduce and prevent acne as well as soothe other skin diseases, such as dermatitis. The steam also increases blood circulation, which brings more oxygen to the skin's surface.
Relieves Pain
The increased blood circulation from a sauna allows oxygen to reach aching areas of the body to help relieve pain.
Reduces Stress
A sauna's heat relaxes muscles. In fact, the heat of a sauna helps to promote deep and restful sleep, which allows the body to recharge and heal more quickly.
Detoxifies Lymph Nodes
Lymph nodes carry toxins and waste materials away from the body's cells and transport fat from the small intestines. Saunas enhance lymph detoxification, which allows the body to more effectively cleanse and heal itself over time.
