Practical tips of using a Steam bath at home
14 November 2023
The steam bath has very ancient origins. The ancient Romans, in fact, in their public baths were great users, then the Byzantines developed this treatment and defined how to make the steam bath, thus creating the concept of Hammam.
In this article we draw up a list of practical tips on how to make the steam bath. The steam bath is a hot treatment with steam. In the cabin, in fact, the temperature is a maximum of 48 degrees and the humidity ranges from '85% to 100%.
How to do the steam bath
For a treatment with optimal results we recommend making two entries in the cabin followed by immediate and complete cooling of the body.
Here is the guide on how to make the steam bath:
1. Before entering the booth for treatment, take a shower.
2. FIRST ENTRY: enjoy the treatment for 12-15 minutes. The signal to understand that the body has warmed up enough, and therefore it is time to get out, is that the temples begin to pulse.
3. Once out, it is important to cool the body immediately and completely. You can cool your body by diving into a pool or taking a shower. It is best to shower first by wetting the lower limbs and then continue upwards, in this order: right foot, left foot, right leg, left leg, right arm, left arm, chest and abdomen, back and finally, head.
4. SECOND ENTRANCE: stop in the steam bath for about 10-12 minutes, always respecting the signal of your body, that is, when you feel the temples pulsating it’s time to leave the cabin.
5. Cool the body for the last time in the same way as in paragraph 3.
6. Lie on a bed wrapped in a dry bathrobe to promote the sweating reaction.
This is the process for how to make the steam bath in the house.
