A wet sauna, also known as a steam room, uses moist heat to create a warm and humid environment. The temperatures typically range between 110°F to 120°F (43°C to 49°C) with 100% humidity, offering a range of health and wellness benefits.
Key Benefits of a Wet Sauna:

Benefits:
- Supports the body’s natural detox process.
- Improves overall skin health and clarity.
Improved Respiratory Health
- Mechanism: The warm, humid air helps open airways and soothe the respiratory tract.
