Steam Room Redlands

Experience the healing power of a steam room

A steam room is one of the oldest and most soothing wellness therapies in the world, offering a unique blend of relaxation and health benefits through the gentle warmth of moist heat. Consistent use of steam rooms has shown several benefits such as boosted circulation, accelerated muscle recovery, lower inflammation and joint pain, and reduced stress levels. Steam rooms are gentler than saunas, creating a relaxing space to recover after a workout or a stressful day.

Benefits of Steam Room Redlands

Using steam to relax involves exposing the body to a passive amount of intense heat at maximum humidity. This induces a mild state of hypothermia, which increases the body’s core temperature and triggers a thermoregulatory response. This, in turn, restores homeostasis and conditions the body for subsequent heat stressors.

Deep cleansing and detoxifying

Steam rooms are excellent for promoting natural detoxification through the skin. The warm, humid environment opens up your pores, allowing sweat to carry out toxins, dirt, and impurities. This process not only leaves your skin feeling fresher and clearer but also supports your body’s natural cleansing systems. Regular steam sessions can help reduce breakouts, congestion, and dullness while improving overall skin texture and tone.

Muscle tension and joint pain relief

The soothing heat of a steam room penetrates deep into muscles and joints, helping to ease tension, stiffness, and minor aches. This makes it an ideal treatment for anyone dealing with post-workout soreness, chronic muscle tightness, or joint discomfort. The moist heat helps increase blood flow to affected areas, speeding up the healing process and providing natural pain relief.

Enhance circulation for better cardiovascular support

As your body temperature rises in the steam room, your heart rate increases to help cool you down, much like during light exercise. This gentle cardiovascular boost improves blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and organs while removing waste products. Over time, regular steam room use can contribute to better vascular health and support heart function.

Improve respiratory health

Steam rooms can also provide significant relief for those with respiratory issues. The warm, moist air helps open up the airways, loosens mucus, and eases congestion in the sinuses and chest. It’s a natural way to support easier breathing, particularly for those dealing with seasonal allergies, colds, or mild asthma. Even if you’re perfectly healthy, a steam session can leave your lungs feeling clear and refreshed.

Stress relieving

Few experiences are as instantly calming as stepping into a steam room. The enveloping warmth and quiet atmosphere promote deep relaxation, helping to reduce stress hormones and soothe the nervous system. Many people find that steam therapy improves mood, reduces anxiety, and even enhances sleep quality after just a single session.

Pro tip

While it’s tempting to linger in the warmth of a steam room, it’s best to keep your sessions to around 15 to 20 minutes long. Spending too long in a steam room can lead to adverse reactions such as dehydration and dizziness. After your session, we recommend taking a cold shower or resting in a cooler environment to allow your body temperature to stabilise. This helps to maximise the circulatory and detox benefits while preventing lightheadedness.

How Does our Steam Room in Redlands Work?

Steam rooms are similar to saunas, but with the addition of 100% humidity. This is achieved by water-filled steam machines that disperse humid air into the environment around you, which is often a sealed box room. The steam machines can be infused with essential oils, offering both health benefits and relaxing scents.

Steam sessions are often complemented by cold water immersion to gain the benefits of contrast therapy, but you can also use them independently for the ultimate relaxation. Most people either sit or lie on a towel in the steam room, breathing the humid air to aid their respiratory system and help them unwind.

How is a steam room different from a sauna?

While both steam rooms and saunas are heat-based therapies, the main difference is the humidity and temperature levels. Steam rooms use moist heat with nearly 100% humidity and lower temperatures (around 40 to 45 degrees C). Saunas, on the other hand, use dry heat at higher temperatures (around 70 to 90 degrees C), with lower humidity. Many people find steam rooms to be more comfortable, so they’re a good stepping stone towards saunas if you’re interested in the benefits of heat therapy.

How should I prepare for a steam room session?

One of the most important things to do before entering the steam room is to make sure you’re well hydrated. Drink plenty of water before and after your session to stay hydrated and help flush out toxins through perspiration, and avoid eating heavy meals right beforehand. Remove makeup or skincare products to prevent clogged pores during the session. We also recommend bringing a clean towel and a water bottle.

Can steam rooms help with skin health?

Yes, steam rooms can be beneficial for certain skin concerns, such as acne or congested skin. The heat and high humidity open your pores and promote detoxification through sweating, helping to flush your skin from the inside out. However, steam rooms can have the opposite effect on skin that suffers from sensitivities, rosacea, or inflammatory skin conditions like eczema. Heat and humidity could aggravate certain conditions, counteracting the benefits.

What should I wear in the steam room?

Most people choose to wear a towel, swimsuit, or lightweight clothing during their steam room session. The goal is to keep your skin exposed to the steam while still remaining comfortable. Avoid wearing jewellery or heavy clothing, as these can become hot and uncomfortable in the humid environment.
