The Steamy Wonder sauna is an environmentally friendly system that is useful for anyone looking for the health benefits associated with a steam sauna without the chemicals normally associated with such environments. Some of these benefits include relief from joint pain and muscle soreness, improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and relief from allergies and asthma.
Aside from the health benefits reported by our clients, it also serves as a beauty aid with benefits such as weight loss due to detoxification, beautiful skin, and cellulite reduction.
Our system provides relaxation for everyone who experiences it. Clients lie comfortably on a soft massage table and have complete privacy under the steam canopy. Our system also allows the client to conveniently stay on the massage table between treatments or while the therapist applies the “Wrapless Wrap” products. Thanks to our New Simple Steamy Wonder “Wrapless Wraps” clients can now forget those messy, uncomfortable, claustrophobic wraps of the past.
The warm, moist heat opens the pores allowing effective product penetration; sweating produces the ‘shrin
kage’ effect that makes wrapping so popular. In other words, your jeans should be looser after a steam treatment! Mud and seaweed wraps can be given without any wrapping, increasing the comfort of the client, decreasing work for you.
“Nobody likes to be wrapped in hot blankets when they could be steamed. Claustrophobic clients really prefer our steam sauna as it´s not so restricting.
Why steam is better than wrapping –Dr. John Welbes, Director at the college of Massage Therapy in Omaha, Nebraska recommends steam baths in the treatment of cellulite, finding it superior to body wraps in raising tissue temperature. “Body wraps are very slow,” says Dr. Welbes, “it may take an hour to achieve the same temperature increase that you can get in about 10 minutes in a steam bath.” According to Dr. Welbes, the heat helps loosen the fatty tissue so that it is less solid and can more easily be broken down.
Potential Dangers to Wrapping:
The wraps and electric blankets that are commonly used to heat clients during a body wrap are often made of plastic. Plastic releases toxins when heated, which can then absorbed by the body, creating more toxicity. The blankets also create an electrical field effect which many people believe is not healthy.
