Steam bath

Steam bath is a kind of heat bathing - an ancient practice widely used throughout history across many cultures and different countries, continuing today in the Russian banyas, American Indian sweat lodges, and Finnish saunas. The ancient Greeks and Romans regularly used steam bathing and hot springs. People also used steam and sweating as health practices to maintain and improve their health.

Steam rooms are enclosed spaces that are heated with steam generators. The key to the steam room’s unique health benefits is the humidity. Normally, a steam room is heated to keep the temperature from 38 to 45 Celsius degrees (100 to 113 Fahrenheit) and humidity from 95% to 100%, and you just need to sit still and breathe evenly inside a steam room, allowing the body to sweat and relax to get all of its benefits. The moist heat helps open pores, cleanse the skin, and improve blood circulation.

A steam bath may help you:
- Clear congestion
- Improve your skin health
- Lower blood pressure
- Improve circulation
- Ease bronchitis symptoms
- Recover after workout
- Lower joint stiffness
- Relieve stress
- Open up sinuses
- Burn calories

While there are many benefits associated with a steam room, people should take a steam bath with caution and be aware of the risks. Because of the heat, there is a risk of dehydrating the body, and it is advisable not to spend longer than 15 minutes for a steam bath session. It is also important to drink plenty of water beforehand and afterward.

Exposure to high temperatures for an extended period of time can result in burns, cramps, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, heart attack, or even death, so if you feel dizzy, have trouble breathing, or have tightness in your chest while taking a steam bath, leave the steam room right away.
