What's the difference between sauna, dry steaming and wet steaming?

Dry steaming is to make hot pot by using equipment similar to electric furnace, which directly converts electric energy into heat energy. Hot air does not contain water, so it is called dry steaming.

Wet steaming is to boil water by electric energy to produce steam, and then spray it out through pipes. The generated steam is rich in water, and the temperature is generally controlled at 40℃-50℃. It is good for the skin, and the skin will be rosy and moist after steaming.

Dry steaming is suitable for rheumatism patients, and there is no smell of steam, so steaming will make the nose more comfortable. But after steaming, the skin will be dry.

After wet steaming, the skin will be ruddy and tender than before, so most women will choose wet steaming.

Extended data:

Sauna can cause a series of systemic physiological changes.

High temperature and high humidity make the heart beat faster and blood pressure rise to a certain extent, while soaking in cold water will slow down the heart beat and lower blood pressure.

Therefore, indoor temperature, humidity and bathing time, including the number of cold and hot exchanges, must be strictly controlled. When taking a shower for the first time, you can only stay in the high-temperature steam room for 5 minutes, and then gradually extend the stay time in the high-humidity steam room.

Because the sauna has a certain impact on the human body, the following conditions are not suitable for sauna:

1. Patients with previous hypertension and heart disease. Because sauna makes blood pressure fluctuate in a wide range, it increases the heart load, which is easy to cause high blood pressure, heart attack, accidents and even life-threatening.

2. After a meal, especially within half an hour after a full meal. Taking a sauna immediately after a meal will dilate the blood vessels of the skin, and a large amount of blood will flow back to the skin, which will affect the blood supply of digestive organs, which will inevitably affect the digestion and absorption of food and be harmful to health.

3. When overworked or hungry. When people are tired and hungry, their muscle tension is poor, and their tolerance to cold and hot stimuli is reduced, which is easy to cause collapse.

4. It is best for menstruating women to avoid sauna. Menstrual women's physical resistance is reduced. When taking a sauna, cold and heat alternate many times, which is easy to cause colds and bacterial infections and endanger women's health.
