Get steamy this Autumn
As we move into the colder months, many of us are more susceptible to colds, sore throats, painful sinuses, a blocked nose and a troublesome cough. Many of us reach for traditional remedies and over the counter medicines to help relieve our symptoms, but did you know there’s a simpler and more natural way to get you on the road to optimum health and wellbeing?
Visiting a steam room is one of the best ways to clear colds and coughs. The hot moisture helps to gently boost your immune system and keeps mucous membranes from drying out whilst providing gentle relief for tight chests and providing moisture to dry throats.
Steamy cold-busting action
If you’ve been up coughing all night, a visit to the steam room will provide instant relief for tired chest muscles as the heat and moisture relieves inflammation and congestion within your respiratory system. Sinusitis is painful, but steam is incredibly effective in clearing and relieving especially when combined with infusions of Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Lemon and Lavender oils.
Aches, pains and allergies
Steam is an all-round effective remedy for helping those who suffer with asthma, allergies and arthritis. Heat is one of the oldest remedies for reducing pain and combined with water, helps to warm up the joints.
Instant stress relief
With stress and anxiety comes aching muscles which feel tight and sore, especially in the neck and back area. A quick visit to the steam room will instantly warm your muscles and help you unwind. Simply sit back and relax as the heat and moisture provides instant relief.
Beauty benefits
Steam is excellent for deep cleansing the complexion, nourishing it with nutrients, removing impurities, enhancing blood flow and circulation to the skin and boosting hydration levels if you have dry skin.
Body beautiful
If you’re battling cellulite, steam can increase your metabolism and helps to remove toxins, boost circulation and break down fat layers. Combine with a detoxing body wrap for optimum results.
Top tip – make sure you drink lots of water when visiting the steam room to replace lost fluids.
