I'm in the beautiful city of Shillong for a family event. 'The Scotland of the East' is a beautiful place and I enjoy the natural beauty and natural and healthy food. Here's a pic from a viewpoint near my place.
Shillong, can get really cold at this time of the year. Its most severe winter months are from December to February. Unfortunately, I'm not the type that handles cold weather very well. After a few days here my muscles and back was aching from the shivering and I was getting really tired. I also didn't want to end up with a chest congestion. Then I did something that I did regularly before and still do once in a while now- have a really hot shower! It worked. The shower head was powerful so I also got the added advantage of a hydrotherapy massage.
I closed the windows and all air vents. The steam from the water filled up the room. So while I had a shower I could also do a steam inhalation. This is one of the best ways I have got a steam inhalation considering, I got my chest to clear, I got a massage and I got my muscles relaxed.
So after doing this consistently for three days (and I'm still continuing) here are the benefits I found.
1) Muscles and nerves relaxed: The terrible pain from my muscles being so contracted and locked up and nerves being overactive started to ease out.
2) Clear Breathing passage. I could feel a light heaviness in my chest start to build up and I knew a bad congestion was not far behind. After the first hot shower, that stopped immediately. As I mentioned before the steam in the room helped greatly.
3) Active: I could move more actively and freely and be more productive instead of feeling and being like a human popsicle!
4) Detox: I did feel better like after I do a detox. Only later did I find out steam showers actually assist the body detox.
5) Massage: I got a powerful relaxing massage due to the water force.
5) Cost and Convinience: I could do this in my own house. I didn't need a sauna session, jacuzzi session a spa or any other expensive method.
So these are the benefits I found out of my personal experience. I also found a link which lists more benefits of steam showers which you can find here.
I encourage you to give the steam showers a go and find out its benefits for yourself.
