How to take a steam bath.

Steam Bath


The first thing to do is to make sure that you have enough time to fully relax and that there won’t be any interruptions.
You might want to set the answering machine on your phone, although some steam baths and steam showers have a phone installed so that you can answer any incoming calls without having to get out of the steam.
Drinking a glass of water before you bathe hydrates you. You are planning on sweating for 10 to 15 minutes after all.
Take a shower. Having a shower before your steam bath will get rid of surface dirt and oils on your skin and make the detoxifying process more efficient.
When you are in the steam room or steam shower, you want to be as relaxed as possible so take a seat and enjoy the warmth and the swirling, soothing steam.
As your body warms up, your pulse might increase from an average at-rest rate of 75bpm to between 100 – 150 bpm.
At the end of the session, you might want to take another shower to cool your body down. Some bathers will take a cold shower half way through their sweat bathing session and again at the end as the change from heat to cold increases the beneficial effects on their body’s circulation even more.
After your steam bathing session, take some time to enjoy the relaxed feeling that the steam room has given your mind and body and take another glass of water to re-hydrate yourself.
