Sauna Versus Steam Room – What is the Difference?
May 31st, 2009 by admin
Saunas and steam rooms are often referred to in the same context which suggests that they are similar. This is a common, but inaccurate misconception and one that will be remedied here.home saunas A sauna generates dry low humidity heat that sees temperatures in excess of 80 degrees centigrade. These temperatures sound incredibly high, but with almost no moisture in the air they are tolerable and cause the body to sweat profusely. A steam room works in a completely different way and uses much lower temperatures combined with very high humidity to make the body feel hot and sweaty. Saunas certainly encourage a higher level of sweating resulting in greater weight loss.
