Steam Bath – How They Benefit You!

The penetrating moist heat of a steam bath can benefit your body and mind in many ways. Steam baths have been used for thousands of years by many cultures. Warm steam creates many beneficial responses in your body. If you’ve ever used a vaporizer, then you know how beneficial it can be. Moist heat is so much better for you than dry heat. That’s a fact.

Our bodies were made to absorb moisture. But just as our bodies were made to absorb it, they were also made to eliminate extra moisture, both internally and externally. (What goes in must come out.) We take in water and moisture and it is utilized and eliminated in a short time. That’s why it’s vitally important to replenish what is given up. Without moisture and water, our bodies would simply shrivel up and die.

We all know that consuming water is healthy for us, and so is having a moist environment. Regular moisture exposure helps to detoxify our bodies of the toxins we are exposed to. Skin, hair and nails need lots of extra moisture to stay and look healthy.

Respiratory Benefits

Steam inhalation is high recommended for treatment of respiratory conditions such as the common cold, sinusitis, bronchitis, allergies, and exercise-induced asthma. It also relieves inflammation and congestion of upper respiratory mucous membranes, alleviates throat irritation by moistening the air we breathe, stimulates discharge of mucous from throat and lungs, and diminishes excessive drying of mucous membranes.

Benefits of Detoxification The modern diet is full of excess animal protein fats, caffeine, alcohol, toxins, and chemicals that hinder proper functioning of our cells. When you clean and clear your body of toxins and waste products, your body reacts by functioning at an optimum. This reduces your chance of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular problems, arthritis, obesity, hormonal dysfunction, autoimmune diseases, and so on. Cardiovascular Benefits Steam baths have a stimulating effect on the cardiovascular system. When your body is immersed in a steam bath, your pulse rate increases from 75 beats per minute to between 100-150 beats per minute. (During a 15-20 minute treatment.) This cardiovascular response increases blood circulation. Since heat causes tiny blood vessels in the skin to expand which accommodates increased blood flow, steam will not increase your blood pressure. The dilation of the capillary vessels enables the bloodstream to carry greater amounts of oxygen and nutrients to the skin, including an increased absorption of oils that are carried in the bloodstream to the skin.

Benefits to Your Skin

Steam baths surround you in gentle warm moisture, which softens and replenishes your skin. As pores open and you perspire, toxins are naturally expelled from your body, leaving behind more supple, cleaner, clearer skin.

Everyday stress and anxiety take a toll on mental attitudes. When you are immersed in steam, the cares of the day just seem to vacate your mind and you feel peaceful. Pampering your environment, you can whisk away pressure and renew the spirit.

If you can't afford to get a personal steam bath for your home, there is another way to get rid of toxins that is also very healthy. The absolute best way to get rid of the toxins and accelerate weight loss (and inches) is to do a health cleanse. I just did one after Thanksgiving and my associate just did his second cleansing the first week of January.

I lost 3" off my belly and abdomen in the first 3 days. I am a smaller person to begin with and only did the cleanse for nutritional reasons. My associate however, lost 17 pounds in 9 days. He definitely lost more because he was overweight to begin with. (he overindulged at Christmas!) The more weight you have to lose, the more fat you have to lose.

Women tend to lose more inches and men tend to lose more weight.

No exercise required, although it is recommended. This program is set up for people who are serious about their health and want to get more out of life. I do not recommend it if you aren't committed to being healthier.

This is a 100% nutritional way to remove toxins. It is actually healthy for you. When toxins enter your body, they are surrounded by fat cells. The fat cells attach to the toxins and then are distributed throughout the body. Belly fat is a definite sign of toxicity. The health cleanse gets rid of the toxins, which eliminates visceral fat. When I did my cleanse, I could feel the fat burning off my body. No kidding!

This program is not for children or young adults. It is recommended only for the 20+ crowd.
