About Steam Therapy:
Physiological Benefits of Steam-Sweating is therapeutic, but so are the other
physiological effects of steam therapy. Dramatic effects occur from the circulatory
changes caused by the intense heat exposure. The heart rate can increase as much as
50% to 75% during a 10-20 minute steam session. Within just a few minutes there is an
increase of cardiac output, increased blood flow to the skin produced by vasodilation,
and decreased blood flow to the internal organs. The increased blood flow brings vital
nutrients to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, stimulating cellular activity and growth.
The parts of the skin that normally suffer from poor circulation will benefit especially
from this treatment, since the increased blood flow supplies it with extra nutrients and
oxygen. Any increase in the metabolic rate burns calories, improves circulation,
promotes water-weight loss, and beautifies skin.
How the Body Detoxifies:
Because of its role in the elimination of toxins the skin is sometimes referred to as the "third kidney." The heat of a steam treatment speeds up the chemical process in the body, making steam therapy one of the simplest and most comfortable ways to rid the body of accumulated toxins. As the pores open up, the millions of sweat glands start to excrete, and the body rids itself of metabolic and other
waste products. This also helps to reduce the fluid retention. Perspiration allows
excretion of toxins and impurities through the skin, helping the kidneys and liver to
detoxify the blood.
How Steam Helps Beautify Skin:
The skin's more than 2 million eccrine glands respond to rising body temperatures by excreting sweat to cool the skin and the blood in the skin's capillary vessels. Sweat emulsifies the fat of the sebaceous glands far more effectively than water and cleans them of sebum and the bacterial flora they usually
contain. The keratin in the outer layers of the skin macerates and softens with extended contact with moisture. The skin becomes softer and more hydrated creating an optimum
condition for the absorption of creams, lotions, and essential oils.
