Facts
Steam Saunas have been around for thousands of years. The romans had huge steam rooms as well as the Chinese.

Water
Water in our everyday life is an essential building block that we need to survive. Our bodies are made up of 70% water. Water comes in many different forms and one of them is steam. When our bodies are immersed in steam, a feeling of total relaxation occurs.

Benefits
There are many health benefits to having these types of saunas sometimes referred to as a steam bath, steam shower, or a steam sauna. The steam deep cleans and moisturizes your skin. Some people say it is like a fountain of youth because of how you feel when you get out.

Location
You can have a special room built, which is normally very expensive, to create a steam room or steam sauna. External steam generating machines would then create the steam and pump it into the room or water is poured over hot porous rocks such as lava.

But thankfully today that is not your only option. Now you can buy self-contained saunas called steam showers with everything you need built right in. Your average steam shower uses approximately one gallon of water per 30 minute session. You can even place some of these steam shower units in a room in your house. The only requirement is that a normal 110/120 volt plug is close by.
