What are the "three steams and three water pours" in the sauna?

Dry steaming uses a device similar to an electric stove to light a hot pot to directly convert electrical energy into heat energy. The hot gas does not contain moisture, so it is called dry steaming. There are usually some ores placed on the electric stove, which when heated will release a variety of elements that are beneficial to the human body. The temperature of dry steaming is higher than that of wet steaming, which can reach about 100℃. Dry steaming does not contain moisture, so it is especially suitable for patients with rheumatism. At the same time, there is no smell of steam, and the nose will be more comfortable when steamed. However, your skin will be drier after steaming.

Wet steaming is to boil water to produce steam, which is then ejected through pipes. The steam generated has abundant moisture. The temperature is generally controlled at around 50℃. Most ladies choose wet steaming because after steaming, their skin will be rosier and more hydrated than before. The three steps of steaming, whether dry or wet, should not exceed 20 minutes at a time.

After steaming once, you can soak or flush it with cold water, called a "supercooled river", to allow the discharged secretions to flow away. Go in and steam for more than ten minutes. If you do this three times, it is what people who often go to sauna call three steamings and three waterings.
