I know this is not exactly a raw question but I thought that maybe someone here

would know.

 

I have been looking around the net, but cant find the answer I want.

 

What is the health benefits or drawbacks to a steam room or the dry sauna?

 

Is one better than the other?

 

My gym offers both, and I was laying there today wondering what the difference

really is and why some choose one over the other.

 

Does sitting in a steam room really help your body release toxins by sweating so

fast?

 

Thanks!!!!

That's a very good question! I've been wondering the same thing, since

I " m switching gyms, and my new gym won't have a steam room! I love the

steam room and am going to miss it, but I won't have a choice in a

couple of weeks. I " ll only have the sauna, which I don't care for too much.

Thanks for asking this question!

I have a small 2-seater dry sauna at home, and don't use it much but

to store blankets and sweaters, but used it this fall several times,

after receiving a pamphlet at a home show.

" DRY AIR SAUNAS VS. WET STEAM ROOMS

 

The hot, dry air of the sauna is therapeutically different form the

steam room sauna. The dry sauna causes profuse sweating, the air

itself absorbing the sweat. But the water-saturated air of the steam

room doesn't readily accept the sweat released by the body. The steam

room makes you feel hotter because your sweat doesn't evaporate and

carry away the heat. ... "
