The Steam Room!


I have really been enjoying the steam room at the gym lately... I love feeling the intense heat and my tired muscles relax from the steam. I have searched the internet to find some great health benefits to inspire you to try it out!

Studies showed that the steam room helped with Bronchial asthma, bronchitis, catarrh of the upper respiratory tract, coughs, hoarseness, expectoration, non-acute rheumatic complaints and restricted or painful movements of the joints. The steam room is also beneficial for people suffering from Sleeping disorders, poor skin circulation, dry, chapped skin, muscular tension, muscular weakness in the subcutaneous blood vessels, and sensitivity to sudden changes of temperature.

Another great advantage of the steam bath is in its highly beneficial effect on the skin. The moist heat stimulates the subcutaneous blood flow and cleanses the skin intensively, opening the pores, removing dead skin and impurities and leaving the skin feeling soft, clean and smooth.

I love the steam room. In fact the Bally's downtown actually has an option of eucalyptus aromatherapy in their steam rooms. It's so great. I love the sauna too creating a hydrotherapy effect for the body. Oh so good :)
