Steam Bath Basics

Why a Steam Bath?

As time becomes a premium, more and more people are using their showering space as a personal retreat—albeit for 10 minutes instead of a 30-minute bath. During those 10 minutes they want a custom spa-like experience and are demanding higher levels of functionality and design in the bath and shower. That accounts for the growing trend toward showers that feature steam baths.

Step into a steam bath at the local health and fitness center and almost immediately the warmth penetrates your body. It eases tired and aching muscles and can be used in the rehabilitation of certain sports injuries. It can even reduce the stiffness and pain associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Steam bathing also helps relieve stress by relaxing the mind.

It has other health benefits, too. Steam stimulates the immune system by causing the body to produce more white blood cells, which helps the body to fight against common colds and other diseases. Steam also stimulates lymph systems by increasing blood circulation throughout your body. This helps with weight loss while it tones and improves the function of all of the body’s organs.

Just as important, the warmth opens the pores of your skin, creating a flow of perspiration, which lifts out the impurities of everyday living. The result is a deep cleansing that leaves your skin soft, supple and healthy—looking younger inside out.

No wonder that steam baths are one of the oldest healing remedies in the world. They’ve been used for centuries to promote health and vitality.
