STEAM THERAPY
Health Benefits~
Our Portable Steam Sauna is an environmentally friendly system that is useful
for anyone looking for the health benefits associated with a
steam sauna. Some of these benefits include relief from joint
pain and muscle soreness, improved circulation, reduced inflammation,
and relief from allergies and asthma. Aside from the health benefits,
our Steam therapies also serves as a beauty aid with benefits
such as weight loss due to detoxification, beautiful skin, and
cellulite reduction.
Convenient~
Our personal-sized steam sauna provides
relaxation for everyone who experiences it. Clients can lie comfortably
on a soft massage table and have complete privacy under the steam
canopy. Our system allows you to conveniently stay on the massage
table between steams or while our therapist applies wraps, peels,
etc. .
Because our system has a canopy that covers the body and allows
the head to remain outside, our skin care therapist can give
you a facial and body treatment at the same time.
Shed Pounds~
Our steams raise your metabolic
rate, allowing you to shed off pounds and feel the stress melt
away while you relax comfortably on a massage table. A moderately
conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 grams of sweat in
a sauna- the equivalent of running three to four miles or 475
to 600 calories. While the weight of the water loss is regained
by re-hydration, the calories burned are not.
As you relax in our steam tent, your body is actually working
hard to eliminate toxins and burn fat. Weight loss becomes possible
because body fat becomes water soluble at 110 degrees and the
body can sweat out fats, toxins, and heavy metals. During a heat
treatment your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater
rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits
of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic
rate increase. Because the metabolism rate increases during the
steam therapy, you are burning calories, not just water!
This benefit was recognized in the prestigious Journal of
the American Medical Association as long ago as August 1981:
"Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular
system, not to build big leg muscles. Regular use of a sauna
imparts a similar stress on the cardiovascular system, and its
regular use may be as effective, a means of cardiovascular conditioning
and burning of calories as regular exercise."
Steam & Cellulite Reduction~
Effective cellulite reduction can be achieved by increasing circulation,
stimulating metabolism, detoxifying and eliminating excess fluids.
Our Steam treatments used in conjunction with detoxifying mud
and essential oils and/or manual manipulation of the tissues
accelerate effective cellulite reduction.
Detoxify with Steam Therapy~
Clients are increasingly aware of the wide variety of toxins
that may be in their bodies, including herbicides, pesticides,
food additives, air pollution, and household chemicals. When
ingested, these chemicals can remain in the body for years, altering
our metabolism, causing enzyme dysfunction and nutritional deficiencies,
creating hormonal imbalances and lowering our threshold of resistance
to chronic disease. Today, studies show that most of us have
between 400 and 800 chemical residues stored in the fat cells
of our bodies. When our bodies exceed the limit that we can excrete,
we begin to store these toxins.
The following symptoms are often related to toxicity: allergies,
acne, anxiety, burning skin, brain fog, chronic fatigue, chemical
sensitivities, depression, eczema, frequent colds or flu, insomnia,
loss of dexterity, low body temperature, memory loss, mood swings,
muscle and joint pains and poor concentration.

"Clients come for
stress reduction treatments weekly and the side benefit is that
their clothing size is reducing as well as their stress level.
They haven't changed anything in their routine for weight loss
beside regular Steam treatments."
Regular Steam treatments, as a standalone
modality or combined with other healing therapies, provide a
practical and enjoyable way to remove toxins from your body.
Benefits of detoxification include weight loss, pain relief,
increased alertness and energy, lustrous skin and eyes and enhanced
immunity.
How steam helps you detoxify~
Heat experienced during a Steam treatment speeds up the chemical
processes in the body, making it one of the most simple and comfortable
ways to rid the body of accumulated toxins. As the pores open
up and the million of sweat glands start to excrete, the body
rids itself of metabolic and other waste products. Sweat contains
almost the same elements of urine, as for this reason the skin
is somethimes called the third kidney.
Regular sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself
of an accumulation of carcinogenic metals (lead, mercury, zinc,
nickel and cadium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulferic
acid and cholestrol.
Steam & Common Skin Conditions~
The skin is our body's largest organ and is essential in eliminating
impurities. As you sweat, the skin pores begin to open and built-up
sebum and impurities move out. Dead skin cells are softened and
exfoliated as new softer skin can emerge. The result is that
many common skin conditions improve with periodic or regular
Steam treatments:
Acne:
Perspiration emulsifies the fat of the sebaceous glands, clearing
them of sebum and bacteria which is excellent for acne.
Anti-Aging: Exfoliation treatments with steam open the
pores, allowing the superficial and deep layers of the skin to
be receptive to the nutrients in natural skin care products.
The deep penetration of vitamins, minerals, and moisturizers
help restore and maintain skin elasticity and tone. The steam
creates a seal on the skin's surface, enclosing the nutrients
within the layers of the skin where they may be absorbed and
processed.
Dry Skin and Wrinkles: Increased blood supply rushes fluids
to skin's surface enhancing the development of collagen and filling
in the spaces around cells, plumping up wrinkles. Stimulating
the skin on a regular basis helps combat the collagen breakdown
that generally results in aging and sagging skin. The resulting
effect is deeply moisturized, hydrant skin.
Relief from Joint Pain~
Steam therapy has been used for
hundreds of years by many cultures in the treatment of arthritis,
rheumatism, joint stiffness and muscle spasms.
The deep heat of our Steam syatem helps to relieve pain by causing
the blood vessels to dilate. This causes increased blood circulation
and allows more oxygen to get to soft tissue injuries and sore
muscles. This helps to reduce pain and speeds up the healing
process. Increased blood circulation carries of metabolic waste
products and delivers oxygen rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles,
so they recover faster. Muscles relax most readily when tissues
are warm.
