HEAT THERAPY - METHOD 2: STEAM ROOM. Steam rooms provide a lot of the same benefits as saunas. In a steam room, the temperature usually doesnât exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit, but due to the very high humidity, it feels just as hot as a dry sauna and you will sweat just as much too (if not more).
Saunas can reach temperatures upwards of 200 degrees Fahrenheit, which can raise your skinâs temperature around 104 degrees Fahrenheit. A dry sauna, which is what most people think of when they think of this type of therapeutic room, is made from softwoods that can withstand excessive heat.
If the air temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit with 55% humidity, for example, the heat index is 124 degrees. You feel much hotter because your sweat won't evaporate as easily. Conversely, if the heat index is lowerâsay 15%âthat same 100 degrees actually would feel like 96. You can view the heat index chart at the National Weather Service
Use the sauna once a day for thirty minutes. Start with a low heat until you are comfortable with a higher heat setting. Heat settings will typically range between 60 degrees and 100 degrees Celsius. For each session in the sauna, you will burn approximately 300 to 600 calories.The size of the sauna does not matter. Usually, home saunas are small having space only for a few people. The sauna should be heated to 70 to 100 degrees Celcius according to your preferences. You need to fill a bucket full of pale water and make sure there is also a scoop to throw water on the stones. It is important to confirm that the air 38Yo9S. 258 293 96 118 143 154 30 339 225
