Benefits of Steam Room

Steam utilization involves brief passive exposure to intense heat at maximum humidity. This induces mild hyperthermia, an elevation in the body’s core temperature that triggers a thermoregulatory response, restoring homeostasis and conditioning the body for subsequent heat stressors.

Improve Circulatory Function

Moist heat, as produced in a steam room, has the capability to boost circulation by dilating the small blood vessels or capillaries. This expansion promotes smoother blood flow, facilitating the efficient transport of oxygen throughout the body.

Relieve Pain and Maintain Muscle Strength

Administering moist heat immediately after a workout can help alleviate pain and maintain muscle strength. The heat has a soothing effect on nerve endings and induces muscle relaxation.

Reduce Stress

A steam room has the capacity to reduce cortisol levels, the hormone released in response to stress. As cortisol levels decrease, individuals may perceive an increased sense of control, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

Improve Skin Health

The steam enveloping your body permeates the pores, facilitating the removal of dirt and debris through sweat. This cleansing process not only purifies your skin but also enhances its radiance.

Detoxify

The gentle warmth and high humidity in our spa facility are likely to prompt a light sweat, with the steam helping to open your pores. This process assists in flushing out toxins through your skin.

Understanding Steam Rooms and Their Operation

Frequently found in spas, bathhouses, or gyms, a steam room is a heated space, similar to a sauna but with 100% humidity, created by water-filled steam machines that disperse humid air into the room.

These steam machines can be infused with essential oils, introducing invigorating or relaxing scents, which may offer additional health benefits.

A steam session can be complemented by a dip in a cold pool to engage in a form of contrast therapy.

In this heated environment, you can choose to sit or lie on a towel, inhaling the steamy and humid air to aid with respiratory issues or simply to unwind and relax.

Steam Room FAQs

How should one inhale in a steam room?

It is recommended to inhale through your nose and exhale through either the nose or mouth while in a steam room. The steam and heat are utilized to help loosen mucus and open up your sinuses. Initially, the hot air might be slightly irritating in your nostrils, but you should acclimate to it over time.

What is the recommended frequency for using a steam room?

It is recommended to limit your steam room sessions to a duration of 20 minutes, approximately two to three times a week.

Is it preferable to enter the steam room before or after a workout?

You have the option to use a steam room either before or after a workout. Opting for a steam session before a workout can assist in muscle relaxation and joint loosening, similar to a warm-up. The same effect is beneficial post-workout, helping to relax your muscles and promote recovery.

What is the recommended attire for a steam room?

When using the steam room, it is required to wear a bathing suit. We do not allow regular underwear to be worn within any of our wet therapies (contrast pools, ice bath, saunas or steam rooms).
