Spa Steam Therapy
20mins - $30
Steam rooms have been used for thousands of years to open the skin’s pores and cleanse the body. First used by the Turks and Romans, spa steam treatments produce a moist heat (similar to that in the rain forest) which is fantastic for making you sweat. The skin is our largest organ and the body’s largest exit route for salts, toxins, and metabolic wastes. Entering a steam room is a great way to prepare for a spa treatment; it helps warm up the muscles for a deeper massage, and opens your pores to make salt and detox scrubs more effective. But it doesn’t stop there!
Steam therapy is also great after a treatment;
the steam helps speed up your body’s ability to release toxins following a massage and gets rid of lactic acid build-up so your muscles aren’t sore the following day.
It is recommended to finish a steam treatment with a cool shower to stimulate your circulation, increase your energy levels, and close your pores. Alternating hot and cold water treatments has a gentle pumping effect on your blood and lymph circulation and most people find it pleasantly invigorating. When your steam therapy is all said and done with, you ’ll feel relaxed and relieved of any stress!
