Wouldn't you like to experience the indulgent lifestyle of the ancient Turks, Romans, and Greeks? The culture during that time was much focused on health and balanced well-being. Those who were most privileged were exceptionally beautiful. Their physical preservation had everything to do with the food they consumed, and the physical and spiritual rituals performed, such as steam bathing. One way that we can experience a tidbit of their luxurious lifestyle is through steam treatments, otherwise known as steam therapy. A steam treatment is a detoxifying and nourishing method that balances your body and enriches your soul. Studies have shown that regular steaming can decrease stress, rid the body of toxins, and increase circulation according to
CareFair Online.
Many of us do not have the full steam houses they enjoyed in ancient days, but the market provides at-home steamers such as the
Huetiful Steamer, the
Q-Redew, and many others. Some have even opted to use their bath and shower rooms for steaming. The benefits of steam for your hair and scalp are rich and plenty.
Hairfinder explains it this way, “Probably the greatest benefit of steam for most people is the tendency of steam baths to open the pores of the skin and allow free flow of sebum and clearing of the ducts and glands in the skin. Since the scalp is made of skin with hair follicles growing from it, steam can help to alleviate common scalp issues, such as dryness and flaking, and excessive-oil production. The warmth and moisture help stimulate circulation and flush out toxins from the skin.”
