During a steam room session the body can sweat out up to 30% of its toxins that may have built up. Studies have shown that environmental chemicals and poor diet cause 95% of cancers, which in today's society, makes a steam room a very healthy and practical addition to the home.

Increased heart beat and body metabolism...

Heat from the steam causes the heart to beat faster and harder in an attempt to cool the body, causing blood to flow into even the smallest capillaries. Increased blood flow to these tiny capillaries (just under the skins surface) causes the skin to glow and look healthy because the blood cells carry minerals, vitamins and oxygen: vital for a healthy body. In addition, this increases the rate of body metabolism.

De-stress and relax...

Warmth from the steam causes the body to relax, particularly the muscles. The heat widens the blood vessels which inturn allows more oxygen to flow to muscles, releasing their tension and melting away stress, soothing both the mind & the body. The heat also gives relief to sufferers of arthritis.

Open up the air passages...

Steam inhalation supports mucosal secretions in the respiratory system and helps to open up the airways therefore reducing respiratory resistance. This helps to relieve the discomfort of asthma and allergies. Steam room benefits also include relieving inflammation and congestion of upper respiratory mucous membranes. It also helps to loosen secretions, stimulate the discharge of mucous from the throat and lungs (natural expectorant) and keeps mucous membranes from excessive drying.

Spending time in a steam room, regularly, could have a noticeable impact on your health, appearance, and your state of mind.
