The steam relaxes stiff joints and muscles, deeply cleanses your skin, helps eliminate toxins, and boosts your immune system.\n\nSteam Inhalation is an effective treatment in respiratory conditions and is highly recommended for treatment of the common cold, sinusitis, bronchitis, allergies and asthma.\n\nApart from the immune system stimulating effects of sweat therapy, many tout it as one of the most effective and painless detoxifying treatments available.\n\n As pores open and perspiration begins, tone-dulling toxins are naturally expelled, leaving behind more supple, cleaner skin.\n\nSteam treatments have a stimulating effect on the cardiovascular system. The pulse ate increases from 75 beats per minute to between 100-150 beats per minute during a 15-20 minute treatment. This increase blood circulation, but not blood pressure, since the heat also causes the tiny blood vessels in the skin to expand, accommodating the increased blood flow. The dilation of the capillary vessels enables the bloodstream to carry great amounts of nutrients to the skin, including the increased absorption of the essential oils that are carried in the bloodstream.

Yes it would benifit you. My sister has C.P. and I work at a spa and the message therapist here was just telling me that it would definently benefit as far as blood circulation and things like that. \nYou should definently look into it with your local people maybe you could even get an in home message, and also your insurance would probably cover it.

In the first instance yes-you would lose water weight through sweating-BUT you will put that weight back on as soon as you drink again, which is often recommended after spending time in a steam room to prevent dehydration.  It wont help you lose body fat, only physical exercise and a balanced diet can do that.

I don't know if it will do those specific things, but you should go anyways because it is good for you. I prefer the steamroom, but either way heat is awesome! I always feel better after I visit the steamroom :) I think I will wake up early tomorrow morning and go :)

STEAM INHALATION\nIf you can get your self a humidifyer or steamer from a chemist youll never look back. You can leave it on all night and youll sleep like a log. You know how much good a hot shower does you when you wake up sick? Well imagine that all night. It also prevents anything settling in the mucous over night - a perfect breeding ground for pathogens. Most steamers have a section where you can add a little eucalyptus oil or any essential oils that will vaporise with the steam and can help with colds or sleeping.

because steam is hotter and more pervasive

The sauna belt does not work at all. It works by evaporating water in your body, meaning quick weight loss and dangerous dehydration. The weight lost comes back when you drink water. Try regular exercise and healthy eating to lose weight.

no benefit. And, due to how cotton chafes after it gets sweaty...i would say lots of downside.\n\nget yourself some of the dry wick synthetic fabrics. you will be much more comfie.

There are all sorts of advantages: sweat makes your skin glossier and gives you the "glow" that everyone talks about; it's exercise so it helps you lose weight; the saliva from making out helps clean your teeth (beyond a brush and toothpaste); and a million other things. The disadvantages: the mess is a huge problem with me. But I don't think there are too many physical disadvantages with sex... at least none that I've come across.

In the sauna after it's had about 30 min to cool down.  \nI did this in 2001, once, on an Alaska cruise ship.  Ever since then the cooling sauna is the best.  The smell of cedar and sex......  \nAfter a couple of martinis my girl and I snuck in the spa after the spa was closed.  The cruise ship was rocking and lockers were slamming shut, then swinging open, then slamming shut. We were the only ones in and were hoping the whole time that someone would/wouldn't walk in.  Hot.

Babies have a delicate balance they need to maintain. A sauna would raise their temputure too much, and could be deadly. Do not put them in hot tubs either.

Some saunas have posted guidelines for the proper age children should be to enter a sauna. I personally would not allow anyone under 15 to be in a working sauna.
