Steam is simply great for your skin – its natures own way of opening the pores and releasing toxins via perspiration. At hydrohealing we use steam therapy as a relaxation treatment as well as for detoxification and cleansing of the skin. Steam is also an effective weight loss aid, as body fat becomes soluble when steam temperature reaches 110 degrees, and can be released via pores. At the same time, stream treatments are known to increase heart rate and metabolic functioning which encourages the body to burn calories.
Specific medical conditions that can be treated in part with stream-based therapies include joint pain, stress, low immune system and numerous allergies.
