When you feel your temples pulsing, it is time to end the steam bath and have a quick cold shower; followed, if you wish, by another steam bath. The alternations in temperature are essential for getting good bodily reactions.

Temperature: 40-50°C - Recommended time: 10-15 minutes per session - Frequency: no more than 4 sessions per week

The relative humidity is 100%, forming a mist of layered temperatures, from 20-25°C at the floor level, up to 40-50°C at head level.
Sweating is less intense than in a very hot and dry environment like a sauna, but since the duration is longer, the end result often is that there is more total perspiration. Normally associated with massages, this is a time of relaxation and true well-being.

Contraindications: persons with cardiovascular disorders should avoid the steam bath.
