BENEFITS OF SAUNA & STEAM THERAPY
The skin is our larges organ, and according to some estimates, is responsible for eliminating up to 30% of body wastes. Chemical analyses of sweat have revealed that it contains almost the same elements of urine. Because steam baths stimulate the action of the sweat glands, they enhance this eliminative and detoxifying capacity of the skin.
According to hydrotherapists, however, release of impurities is just one of the things that sweat therapy accomplishes. The artificial fever that steam induces appears to have immune-system stimulating properties similar to those of fever. Although many modern doctors regard fever as a symptom of disease that must be suppressed, there is growing recognition of the important role it plays in the process of healing.
Fever is the body’s natural healing response, a powerful immune system booster whose value is unsurpassed by any treatment or drug that can be administered from the outside. During a fever, production of white blood cells, gangbusters of the immune system, increases, along with the rate of their release into the bloodstream. There is a corresponding increase in the disease-fighting capacity of white blood cells. Due to this increase, the production of interferon and antibodies also speed up.
The use of steam should be an important part of any detoxification program. The steam increases the eliminative, detoxifying and cleansing capacity of the skin by stimulation of the sweat glands and also promotes healthy skin tone and texture.
STEAM EMBRACE STEAM & SAUNA SYSTEM
The development of the Steam Embrace Sauna and Steam System is the latest generation in the long history of this revitalizing therapy. The Steam Embrace is a compact and comfortable unit which artificially induces hyperthermia (rising body temperature) which results in the destruction of bacteria and viruses. The client relaxes in a sitting position, for a period of 20 to 30 minutes, while steam is allowed to surround the body. The humid heat opens the pores, which results in the elimination of toxins accumulated mainly in the lymphatic system, relieving the liver from the difficult task of dealing with them. The combination of steam and relaxation is a natural, effective way to promote a refreshing sense of well-being.
The following are just a few of the many benefits to be found with this therapy:
