Saunas have been known throughout history to help relax and improve one's overall health, and promote well being.

The curative and healing properties of heat have being highly valued since the Roman times. Ancient Romans, who were known for their ritual baths, used heat therapy to treat many ailments. They highly regarded the therapeutic effects of heat. For them heat was the source to cleanse the body and a means by which they kept it healthy and pure. Steam and heat have been used for recreation, relaxation, meditation and medicinal purpose.

When saunas are used regularly, studies have shown benefits such as improved blood circulation, restored youthfulness, toxin and heavy metal reduction, weight control, cellulite reduction, skin cleansing and rejuvenation, allergy reduction and rash reduction. Both saunas and steam rooms can be used to relax and unwind. However, dry saunas have an advantage over steam rooms by helping to rid the body of more toxic metals picked up from the environment.
