Steamy Wonder™ Spa Treatments FAQ's:How Steam Assists in Weight Loss:As you relax in the steam your body is actually working hard to eliminate toxins and burn fat. Weight loss becomes possible because body fat becomes water soluble at 110 degrees and the body can sweat out fats, toxins, and heavy metals. During a heat treatment your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase. Due to the increased rate of the metabolism during the Steamy Wonder™ treatment you are burning calories, not just water! How Steam Reduces Cellulite:Effective cellulite reduction can be achieved by increasing circulation, stimulating metabolism, detoxifying and eliminating excess fluids. The Steam session used in conjunction with detoxifying mud and essential oils and/or manual manipulation of the tissues accelerate effective cellulite reduction. How Steam Aids in Detoxification:Heat experienced during a Steam bath treatment speeds up the chemical processes in the body, making it one of the most simple and comfortable ways to rid the body of accumulated toxins. As the pores open up and the million of sweat glands start to excrete, the body rids itself of metabolic and other waste products. Sweat contains almost the same elements of urine, as for this reason the skin is sometimes called the third kidney. Regular sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of an accumulation of carcinogenic metals (lead, mercury, zinc, nickel and cadmium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulfuric acid and cholesterol. Sweating is such an effective detoxifier that some physicians recommend home saunas to supplement kidney machines. Sweat also draws out lactic acid which causes stiff muscles and contributes to general fatigue. How Steam Reduces Muscular Pain and Spasms:Steam therapy using the Steamy Wonder™ has been found to significantly reduce muscular pain and spasms. Pain is found to be alleviated in just one session and the benefit can last for several days after the treatment. Regular steam treatments 2 to 3 times per weeks have shown to have profound relief for those having muscle pain due to injury, menstruation pain, headaches, fibromyalgia and low back pain. As heat penetrates the muscles, capillaries dilate and there is an increased flow of oxygen to sore muscles. Muscles and tissues become more pliable and relaxed helping to increase mobility and reduce stiffness. How Steam Reduces Stress:The most immediate benefit of a steam bath treatment is relaxation. In just a few minutes the gentle warmth of the Steam softens hard knots of stress by loosening up all the muscles and allows the clients to deeply relax in the privacy and silence under the steam canopy. With the addition of our custom, dried herbal blends placed directly into the steam generator you will experience deeper benefits of relaxation and rejuvenation. How Steam Improves the Skin:The skin is our body’s largest organ and is essential in eliminating impurities. As we sweat in the steam canopy the skin pores begin to open and built-up sebum and impurities move out. Dead skin cells are softened and exfoliated as new softer skin can emerge. The result is that many common skin conditions improve with regular Steamy Wonder™ treatments: Acne: Perspiration emulsifies the fat of the sebaceous glands, clearing them of sebum and bacteria which is excellent for acne. Anti-Aging: Exfoliation treatments with steam opens the pores, allowing the superficial and deep layers of the skin to be receptive to the nutrients in natural skin care products. The deep penetration of vitamins, minerals, and moisturizers help restore and maintain skin elasticity and tone. The steam creates a seal on the skin's surface, enclosing the nutrients within the layers of the skin where they may be absorbed and processed. Dry Skin and Wrinkles: Increased blood supply rushes fluids to skin's surface enhancing the development of collagen and filling in the spaces around cells, plumping up wrinkles. Stimulating the skin on a regular basis helps combat the collagen breakdown that generally results in aging and sagging skin. The resulting effect is deeply moisturized, hydrant skin. Tanning: With the thorough exfoliation and moisturizing provided in the humid steam bath treatment the skin is prepared for a deeper and more uniform application of sunless tanning products resulting in a vibrant and longer lasting tan. In addition, people who have been over exposed to the sun will benefit from the rehydrating effects of a Steamy Wonder treatment. How Steam Helps Respiratory Conditions: Steam inhalation is an effective treatment in respiratory conditions and is highly recommended for treatment of sinusitis, bronchitis, allergies and asthma. |
