The difference between a steam room and a traditional sauna

Though both a steam room and a traditional sauna offer heat therapy, they unlock different benefits.



The core difference comes down to the type of heat: saunas use dry heat, while steam rooms use moist heat.

Saunas are excellent for deep muscle relaxation and cardiovascular health.

Whereas steam rooms are best for opening up sinuses and hydrating the skin.

So next time you’re at the bathhouse, remember to check in with your body to see what it needs.
