Apart from being incredibly relaxing to unwind and soak up the steam and salt, these sessions have very similar benefits to going to a sauna but are more focussed on your respiratory system and offer a milder therapy session to most than a sauna. While it is not a direct form of physical treatment or therapy, but rather a passive supportive practice, a steam room can be used in conjunction with physio or completely by itself and has several health benefits:

REDUCE STRESS
A steam room can decrease the level of cortisol, which is the hormone released in response to stress. When the cortisol level drops, people can feel more in control, relaxed, and rejuvenated.

IMPROVES SKIN HEALTH
The steam inside the room will soak your body and widen your pores and help purify any dirt or debris from your pores through sweating. This will cleanse your skin and also make it appear more radiant.

DETOXIFICATION
The gentle hot air and strong humidity in our spa facility will most likely make you break into a light sweat, while the steam aids in opening up your pores. This will help flush out any toxins through your skin.

IMPROVE YOUR CIRCULATION Moist heat - such as that provided by a steam room - can improve circulation by dilating the small blood vessels or capillaries. Blood can then flow more easily and transport oxygen around the body.

REDUCE PAIN AND PRESERVE MUSCLE STRENGTH
The immediate application of moist heat after a workout can help reduce pain and preserve muscle strength. The heat soothes nerve endings and relaxes the muscles.
