In ancient times, tepidariums were an integral part of Roman bathing culture. There, they were used for lukewarm baths.

Similar to the infrared sauna, the health-promoting effects of the tepidarium already unfold at low temperatures and with dry heat. While conventional saunas involve very high temperatures and humidity, tepidariums offer low or medium humidity and pleasant warmth. This is usually in the range of a normal body temperature or is slightly higher, e.g. 37 to 39 degrees Celsius.
