Steam Bath
Steam bath has various health benefits. Colds can be relieved, muscles are relaxed and joint pain can be reduced. Steam bath does wonders for our health - without any side effects.
Strengthened immune system
The temperature fluctuations train our immune system. The change from hot to cold and back again, causes our body to strengthen the immune system. Contact with pathogens can react faster and more effectively. The result is that we get sick less often. After visiting the hot steam bath, a cold shower is recommended before the next round in the steam bath.
Treatment for colds
During the winter months, colds and other mild respiratory illnesses, are very common. Heating indoors dries out the mucous membranes and thus creates an entry point for viruses and other pathogens in the body. A proven home remedy for treating harmless, but annoying, colds is steam bath. The steam in the air moistens the irritated mucous membranes and thus relieves the pain. In addition, the risk of inflammation is reduced. The treatment in the Steam bath becomes even more effective with the right essential oils. Eucalyptus, lemon, thyme and lavender are effective oils for fighting colds.
Relief after sport
If you overdo it during sports, it can quickly lead to muscle aches and pains. These are tiny injuries to muscle tissue that lead to painful inflammation. Sore muscles are not bad, but the pain is uncomfortable and usually lasts for two to three days. To support muscle regeneration and help sore muscles heal faster, Steam bath is recommended immediately after exercise. The moist heat is ideal for treating strained muscles, so sore muscles are significantly less painful the next day - and also disappear faster.
Total relaxation
The Steam bath not only has a positive effect on the muscles after exercise; regular visits also relax tense muscles. The gentle, moist heat stimulates blood circulation to the muscles, relaxing tight muscles. The relaxation is even more effective with an additional massage afterwards.
Clean skin
A regular visit to the Steam bath will leave your skin looking glowing and clean after a while! The steam promotes blood circulation and the ability to regenerate the skin. At the same time, steam stimulates perspiration to eliminate harmful substances. Finally, the heat of the Steam bath opens the pores so that the skin can be deeply cleansed and the bacteria that contribute to the formation of black spots can be removed. For the skin cleansing in the Steam bath to work perfectly, it is necessary to shower with clean water beforehand to remove any perfumes, creams and makeup residues that could clog the pores and prepare the skin for the effects of the bath. After the Steam bath treatment, rich moisturising products can be applied to make the skin healthy and supple.
Reduction of blood pressure
High blood pressure can favor various diseases and eventually lead to heart attacks, strokes, or dementia. In Europe, one in four adults is affected by it; however, since high blood pressure usually remains unnoticed for a long time, only a fraction of those affected are aware of it.
High blood pressure can promote a wide range of diseases and eventually lead to heart attacks, strokes or dementia. A visit to the Steam bath can help in the management of high blood pressure. Although the benefits of Steam bath have remained unexplored for a long time, a new study from India shows that bathing in hot steam can have a positive effect on resting blood pressure.
Stress relief
Like high blood pressure, chronic stress is on the rise in our society. Reasons for this include increased pressure at school and work, constant use of smartphones and, in general, the overload caused by advertising and social media. A personal moment of relaxation in a steam bath can help. A study from Russia showed that a visit to the Steam bath reduces the release of the stress hormone cortisol. The result is that feelings of stress are reduced and we feel much more relaxed after the Steam bath.
