Steam Showers for Healing and Relaxation:

Ever since the days of the Roman baths, steam has been known to provide relaxation and healing, and people have enjoyed its benefits for relieving aches and pains, as well as to cure and prevent a variety of conditions. Even in modern times, though, steam has only been available at gyms, public spas or baths, which meant that you had to pack a bag, drive to the facility, and change in a locker room before you could take advantage of steam. Then you had to traipse back through a locker room again — often on cold tile that would counteract the benefits of the steam — before getting back in your car. The good news is that steam showers are more affordable than ever for home use.

Steam showers play a role in improving the moisture, tone and clarity of your skin. The process begins when the steam opens your pres, so that toxins can come out. However, the heat in the shower also boosts your metabolic rate and enlarges your blood vessels, send more blood throughout the system — including your skin. This means that oxygen, minerals and vitamins are pumping through your skin at an elevated rate as well. This makes your skin look clearer — and younger — and you’ll notice the benefits as soon as you step out of the shower.

There are many health benefits associated with the use of steam, a few of which we have detailed below:

Steam Shower Health Benefits:

Steam is a natural source of healing and relaxation and has been used throughout the ages to prevent, cure and relieve. Once only available in commercial establishments such as spas and baths, steam showers are now much more affordable today than they have ever been, allowing more and more people to benefit from powers of steam in their own home. 

You can also dump toxins out of your body. While modern living does provide a number of conveniences, it also exposes us to a number of chemicals, whether the cleaning products we use, the food that we eat and the materials that we touch throughout our day. Over the long haul, these toxins can build up inside the body, causing health problems as time goes by. We normally associate sweating with an unpleasant odor, but it is the body’s natural mechanism for sending toxins out of the body.

In today’s lifestyles, our bodies accumulate many chemicals through poor diets and modern day lifestyles, which in the long term can lead to health problems. Sweating is one of the body’s natural ways to rid itself of these unwanted toxins and steam rooms are an effective way to induce sweating to deep cleanse your skin.

When you sit in a corner steam shower in your own home, you get to relax and rejuvenate your body much more conveniently than you would at your gym’s sauna. The elevation in body temperature and blood flow causes your muscles to relax, and the tension that you’ve built up through the frustrations of a long day simply dissipate under the force of the steam. If you suffer from arthritis or stiff joints, steam can help you feel more comfortable as well.

The increase in heat and the amount of blood flowing around the body relaxes muscles and releases the tension built up after a long day. Steam has also been known to give relief to stiff joints and arthritis.

Not only does the steam open your pores to release the toxins, the heat also increases your metabolism and expands the blood vessels, increasing the blood flow throughout your system, of which the skin is included. This allows an increase of essential vitamins, minerals and oxygen to feed the skin, improving its overall clarity and tone, giving you more youthful and radiant skin.

If you are suffering from congestion in the lungs or inflammation in your bronchial passages, stepping into a home steam shower is a great way to open up the passages. People suffering from bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma and other lung conditions report significant improvement after some time in the steam.

Steam is proven to open up your airways and bring relief to inflammation and congestion in the lungs, which can aid sufferers of asthma, sinusitis, bronchitis and other lung related allergies.

An increase in body temperature whilst in the steam shower brings about a similar state to that that is more commonly known as a fever. Fevers are the body’s natural defense for killing off virus’ within the body, as most cannot survive at these heightened temperatures. Also a fever state also increases the production of white blood cells which defend the body against infectious diseases and foreign bodies within the system, the most common one being the common cold.

Finally, having someone install steam shower service in your home gives you access to a new way to boost your immune system. The steam send your body temperature up, creating a similar state to a fever — which is your body’s natural method for killing viruses and other harmful cells. Your body starts making more white blood cells at this point, which fight off infectious diseases, beginning with the common cold.
