Sauna vs Steam Room: what’s the difference?

Both offer deeply relaxing heat therapy, but in different ways.

Sauna (dry heat)

Saunas use dry heat, typically from hot rocks or a closed stove. They’re usually heated to around 160–200°F (70–95°C) with low humidity.

Many people find saunasessions help with:

·      Relaxation and muscle recovery

·      Supporting cardiovascular health

·      Helping the body’s natural recovery processes

Steam room (humid heat)

Steam rooms are heated by steam from a generator and are warm and highly humid — often around 114–120°F (45–49°C) with 95–100% humidity.

Steam bathing is often enjoyed for:

·      Clearing congestion

·      Supporting skin health

·      Relaxation and circulation

·      Easing joint stiffness

Using the thermal spa safely

Heat therapy should always be enjoyed with care.

·      We recommend limiting sessions to around 10–15 minutes at a time

·      Hydrate well before and after your visit

Please avoid sauna/steam if you are:

·      Pregnant

·      Living with heart disease

·      Experiencing very low or highblood pressure

·      Living with epilepsy

·      Taking antibiotics

·      Immuno-compromised

·      Recovering from surgery

·      Under the influence of alcoholor mind-altering substances

If you have any concerns, please check with your GP before using the thermal spa.
