Benefits
There are several health benefits associated with a steam room, each of which is described here.
a) Improves circulation
Sitting in a steam room has been shown to have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, particularly in older people. A 2012 study Trusted Source found that 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. Steam room therapy has also been shown to reduce blood pressure and keep the heart healthier, as well as help to repair broken skin tissue caused by wounds, such as ulcers.
b) Skin health
Both steam rooms and saunas will make a person sweat due to the heat The sweating opens up the pores and helps cleanse the outer skin. Warm condensation will help rinse away dirt and dead skin and has been used in the treatment of acne. However, what a steam room also does that a sauna does not is help remove the toxins trapped below the skin.
c) Workout recovery
Often, after a workout, a person’s muscles will feel sore. This pain is known as delayed onset muscle soreness, and it is important to relax the muscles to promote a quick and healthy recovery. A 2013 study Trusted Source showed that the immediate application of moist heat after a workout helped reduce pain and preserve muscle strength. The heat soothes nerve endings and relaxes the muscles.
d) Loosens stiff joints
A steam room can also be used before a workout, as it helps to loosen up the joints and increase flexibility, just as a pre-workout warm-up does. A 2013 study Trusted Source showed that the application of heat to a joint can decrease the force needed to move the joint by up to 25 percent compared to cold application. Steam rooms can also help reduce joint pain.
e) Reduces stress
Being in the heat of a steam room can make the body release endorphins, which are known as ‘feel good’ hormones because they help to reduce the feeling of stress in the body. A steam room can also 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.
f) Opens up sinuses
The heat from a steam room opens up the mucous membranes around the body. This will make someone breathe more deeply and easily. Steam rooms will break up the congestion in the sinuses and lungs and therefore can be used to help treat colds, unblock sinuses, and aid breathing.
g) Burns calories
When a person is inside a steam room their heart rate increases. If they use a steam room after exercise, then their elevated heart rate can be prolonged. Experts have found that when used alongside a healthy exercise program, the heat generated by the steam room and the sweating it causes can stimulate the body and increase wellness. It is worth noting that there is no scientific evidence to support the belief that using a steam room aids weight loss. This is because the weight lost after using a steam room is merely water weight and must be replaced by drinking water afterward to avoid dehydration. However, alongside a healthy diet and exercise plan, the use of a steam room can help burn calories.
