For centuries, the world’s great healers considered heating the body a potent and important technique for creating health and overcoming illness. Modern research shows that during steam treatment we experience an increase in our white blood cell count, lymphatic drainage, and circulation. The skin is exercised, the pores open and toxins are naturally moved out of the body. For natural health and beauty treatments are in such a widespread use as sweat therapy done in the sweltering heat of the sauna, in a moist soothing warmth of a steam bath or in a heated body wrap beneath thick layer of warm blankets.

Benefit of steam therapy to our body :-

• Deep relaxation of mind and body
• Youthful look that lasts for hours after treatment
• Reduced swelling
• Increased metabolism
• Relaxed muscles
• Clear sinuses and reduced congestion
• Warm, soft, hydrated skin
• Loosened fatty tissue and a breakdown in cellulite
• Improved absorption of nutrients from topical treatments
• A boost to the immune system as the heat slows the growth rate of harmful bacteria and viruses

For maximum results, it is important to keep the head cool and the body supine. It is important for people to sweat. Many people, in this sedentary age, simply don’t sweat enough, making sweat bathing particularly desirable now. Antiperspirants, artificial environments, smog, synthetic clothing, synthetic skin care products and a physically idle lifestyle all conspire to clog skin pores and inhibit the healthy flow of sweat.
