Steam sauna:
a soothing treat for body and soul
Rediscovering the ancient art of steam therapy
The tradition of steam bathing spans thousands of years and has deep roots in cultures worldwide. Ancient Roman baths featured steam rooms, while hammams in the Arab world served as spaces for both cleansing and social gatherings. Hot steam also played a key role in Russian banyas and the sweat lodge rituals of Indigenous North American tribes. Over time, these traditions evolved into the modern steam sauna, now a staple in wellness centres – offering not only deep relaxation but also a range of health benefits.
