Hi all

I'm a big sauna person

But the gym i just joined has a steam room as well. would be nice to switch it up some times.

Is a steam room a good source of detox as well?

any thoughts?

hope you all have a nice week [Smile]

Paul, the only knowledge I have is that I use both with some regularity. Subjectively, the sauna seems to cause more perspiration and seems more refreshing. Therefore, I use it more often.

Nothing beats a FIR sauna!

But I don't see any problem with using the steam room at the gym once in a while instead.

Sometimes instead of a sauna I will take an epsom salt bath. It's just nice to change it once in a while.

But a steam room or a regular sauna will not have the same level of detox benefits as a FIR sauna.

As long as you suffer from dysautonomia this should be fine.

If you have dysautonomia you are probably heat intolerant, among many other things.

I can't breathe in saunas. Haven't been able to since I first tried one in the late 70's.
