We all need water to survive and we know how
important it is to our health, hygiene and our
environment. Yet when we think of water, most of
us automatically relate to it in its liquid
form; the water we make coffee with, take a
shower in, spray on the lawn and drink
throughout the day. This fundamental element has
the ability to transform into solid and liquid
states and in each of these states water
fulfills different roles.
One important role
is water vapor or steam. Used for everything
from powering engines to pressing clothes, steam
also plays an important role in our health and
relaxation. With a steam shower, we are now able
to have the luxury of a spa in our home.
Steam showers are used around the world by
professional massage therapists, chiropractors,
coaches, estheticians and other health and
beauty practitioners during treatments and
therapies. With a dry climate and cold winters,
steam showers prevent the skin from becoming
dehydrated and itchy. They provide a wet heat
that is different from the dry heat created in a
sauna.
Additional benefits
of steam showers include:
Reducing stress
Relaxation
Rejuvenating the skin
Detoxify the body
Increase metabolism
Cardiovascular fitness
Increased circulation
Pain relief
Enhancing the respiratory system
Aromatherapy
