Just like the classic sauna, the steam bath has a positive effect on our health. In contrast to the classic sauna, the temperature for a steam bath is only around 40-50°C and a relative humidity of around 50 - 60%. For this reason, this form of bathing is particularly suitable for sauna beginners, as they often fear that they will have difficulty breathing in the sauna. From a physical point of view, this is not that wrong, because the warmer the air, the less oxygen it contains. However, this doesn't matter to our body because when we breathe in the air through our nose, it is cooled down in the nasal mucosa. To do this, the body has to produce more moisture, which is why we often feel like our nose is running when we sweat. The bathing form is also very suitable for people with cardiovascular problems and people with respiratory diseases. The effect of the steam can be enhanced by adding aromas and intensifying the experience.

Advantages of the steam function
 

•  Relieves respiratory problems: The mucous membranes are moistened; the addition of essential oils increases this effect. Children with bronchitis were clearly found to have fewer breathing problems after 24 hours. 

• Calming effect: During the steam bath, the release of the stress hormone cortisol is reduced in the brain, which initiates active stress reduction.

• Pure skin: The blood vessels in the skin dilate, opening the pores. The sweat produced on the face helps cleanse the skin.

• Prevents muscle soreness: The moist heat penetrates deep into the muscles and restores performance more quickly
