Sauna Vs Steam Room - Which is Preferred?
When you
ask people what their preference for a sauna and a steam bath is, you get
different answers from different people and you never draw a final conclusion,
as many think that one or the other is the best.
Before we
delve deeper into the debate on the steam bath sauna, it should be noted that
both are essentially based on the same known hyperthermia, but the process of
achieving this is different in a sauna and a steam bath. We use a different
hyperthermia than the temporary increase in body temperature. The two different
processes for achieving this feature are advantageous for different groups of
people with different needs. If you suffer from allergies or respiratory
infections, go to the steam room instead of the sauna at home, as the humid air
in the hamam helps eliminate respiratory tract infections. As a vapor inhale is
also very useful in the elimination of certain diseases such as asthma,
sinusitis, cough, bronchitis, etc. The steam bath proved to be very useful.
Then there
are people who theoretically prefer steam, but can not withstand the hot and
humid environment of the steam bath. If you decide to use a steam sauna, you
will choose saunas. This type of people includes people with active TB or acute
rheumatoid arthritis. Even people who suffer from increased cardiovascular
activity and have many health problems should avoid the use of steam chambers
for an extended period of time before visiting a doctor. Common sense should
help these health problems.
In the
steam bath there is a steam shower generator, which heats the water to a level
where steam is created immediately. In a sauna, there is no generator at all.
What can be confusing in the debate about saunas and steam baths is dry saunas
and wet saunas. In a dry sauna, the temperature can be up to 200 ° F and the
humidity up to 10%. In a dry sauna, the body combats heat in the form of sweat
to cool it down. In the wet saunas, however, the hot stones are sprinkled with
water and this water releases up to 20% moisture to the room. So you can be
quite confused if you try to distinguish the humid sauna from a normal steam
bath. Note, however, that the humidity in the steam room is much higher (almost
at saturation level) than in a humid sauna. Many saunas can be operated dry or
wet.
