Steam rooms/saunas are excellent for people like me with recurrent upper respiratory infections. It helps loosen up all the crap in your lungs and works for sinuses as well. It is much easier for me to breathe in warm air than it is cold air.

They are good for other health reasons also. As the body temperature rises, perspiration occurs and blood circulation increases. The muscles and organs are stimulated and through the perspiration process, acid and waste residue like toxins, sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and the potentially carcinogenic heavy metals are removed from the cells (especially zinc, lead, nickel, etc). As well as the pores of our skin opening and discharging waste products , the skin sheds any old skin cells, leaving it glowing and immaculately clean, with improved tone, elasticity, texture and colour.

All of my physicians have recommended them to me over the years. Just don't stay in there too long!! Your body temperature can rise too much and you can pass out!!
