Generally speaking, steam rooms originated in hot countries such as Turkey and Greece, and are often associated with ancient civilizations.

Steam baths are relaxing and stress relieving. Those with muscle aches or arthritis may find that the heat relaxes muscles and relieves pain and inflammation. Asthma and allergy sufferers find that the heat dilates air passageways of the lung and facilitates breathing.

Although often misunderstood as a symptom of disease, fever actually is a part of the body's natural healing response. Steam bath treatments elicit similar healing responses in the body, and consequently are often called “artificial fevers”. During a fever, the functioning of the immune system is stimulated, while the growth of bacteria and viruses is forced to slow down. The production of white blood cells, the primary agents of the immune system, is increased, as is the rate of their release into the blood stream. The generation of anti-bodies speeds up, as does the production of interferon, an anti-viral protein that also has powerful cancer-fighting properties. Steam baths are good for: • easing stress • relieving muscle tensions and stiff joints • boosting the immune system • lymph detoxification • stimulating circulation • increasing body metabolism • alleviating sinus congestion due to colds, asthma, or allergies, and • keeping skin youthful.

With cold winters and hot summers, steam showers prevent the skin from becoming dehydrated and itchy. Steam showers provide a wet heat that is different from the dry heat created in a sauna.
