A steam room from AromaSteam or a steam shower from Scandia can provide multiple benefits to its users. The main benefit, however, is hyperthermia, which aids the body in detoxification.
By creating an “artificial fever,” steam rooms and steam baths elevate the body's temperature, which in turn speeds up metabolism and blood flow. This increased metabolism and blood flow stimulates muscles, getting them to release stored toxins. The environment is responsible for exposing your body to toxins like heavy metals and chemicals, and your health benefits from these toxins being released.
Detoxification can help the endocrine, immune, and cardiovascular system, among others. It increases blood flow and can also help with respiratory problems. Other benefits of steam rooms include detoxifying skin and calorie burning.

Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to relax and rejuvenate your body, and an AromaSteam steam room is a great place to use it.
To practice aromatherapy in your AromaSteam steam room, all you need to do is put a few drops of essential oils in the aromatherapy-equipped steam head. The scent of eucalyptus or lavender will diffuse throughout the steam room in no time.
AromaSteam steam rooms even come with two bottles of essential oils, and more oil is available for purchase on saunas.com.
Once your steam room is all finished, you can accessorize it just like any other room in the house. Saunas.com offers several different kind of steam room accessories to make your steam bath more enjoyable.
When selecting steam room accessories, such as towel warmers, towel racks, and speakers, keep the following guidelines in mind:
• Is the accessory made for a steam room? Some accessories are designed for saunas, and won't stand up to the constant steam in a steam room. For example, there are lights available for steam rooms on saunas.com, as well as lights for saunas. Make sure you select the right kind
• What will make your experience more enjoyable? Rather than rushing out and buying accessories as soon as your steam room is finished, wait a little while and use your steam room first. Jot down ideas for accessories as they come to you, and then prioritize the accessories you'd like to have
• Will the accessory be useful for everyone who uses the steam room? If you are the sole user of the steam room, then go crazy – whatever you want in the way of accessories is fine. If the whole family uses the steam room, try to figure out which accessories will be the most useful to the most number of people
