In the phytotherapeutic sauna, ancestral knowledge is merged and developed, combining it with the advances and comfort made possible by today's world. In these steam bath sessions, concepts and procedures from various ancient medicines are brought together and combined: the temacal of the Mesoamerican area, the importance of the energy channels contemplated by Traditional Chinese Medicine, concepts of the Udvantana massage of Ayurvedic medicine, and the phytotherapeutic knowledge developed by traditional Western medicine.

PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF THE PHYTOTHERAPEUTIC OR TEMASCAL SAUNA:

The phytotherapeutic sauna surpasses common steam baths in benefits and effectiveness, since when our body is subjected to a high degree of heat in the sauna, the pores of the skin dilate and the physiological phenomenon that we call osmosis occurs. A percutaneous osmosis that acts in a double direction as it expels and eliminates toxins while receiving and absorbing the properties of the plants. The body cleans itself through sweating, expelling water that carries all types of toxic elements, and simultaneously the dilation of the pores of our skin, together with the inhalation of steam, promote the assimilation of the essences and active ingredients of plants, strengthening our body.

The steam bath is also convenient in conditions related to internal cold, and is of great help, especially in the treatment of female disorders, it causes heat in the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus, it is indicated in infertility, pregnancy, post pregnancy, purification and fluidity of milk.

Steam baths act directly on the respiratory system, being suitable for treating coughs, bronchitis, asthma, sinusitis, allergic conditions, etc. The high temperature of the sauna, combined with the essence of medicinal plants, unclogs and frees the respiratory tract while activating the irrigation of these areas in a surprising way, 5 to 7 times more than under normal conditions. With the considerable increase in blood flow, the lungs expand, expelling accumulated toxins.

The blood vessels dilate significantly, facilitating the expulsion of toxins from the body, as well as the elimination of uric acid and cholesterol, which is why it is useful to treat problems with diseases related to circulatory deficiencies.
