Health benefits of regular utilization of traditional Korean spas
As a supporter of traditional Korean spas this post is to determine if there is a critical mass of interest in the therapeutic environment that defines Korean spas. Pools, hot tubs, communal showers, Finnish sauna, steam room, quiet room, cold plunge pool, body scrub, mist sauna, etc.
My favorite part of going to the Korean Spa is knowing what a relaxing day it will be. I normally spend about 6hrs there, I get the body scrub and massage. I spend time in each of the saunas, cold room, hot tubs, steam room, and cold pool. Each offering something beneficial. I have been busting ass working on a home renovation, planting my garden, and building a chicken coop...As soon as things calm down I am heading to the spa, I deserve a day of relaxation lol
I lived in Finland for a year and in this country there is a Finnish dry Sauna in every home and apartment building. As such I was going in the Sauna everyday like the Finns. Sweating from your pores in an environment that is dry and does not support germs like a steam room helps the body to expel all of the bad chemicals we take in daily from our food and environment. I recommend a dry Finnish Sauna if you want to feel good and have more energy as well as sleep good.
I have heard good and bad things about both sauna and steam rooms. I do love them both. When I have both at my disposal, I do use each one 15 minutes each for like 3 times total each ,vso like 1:30 hours of sweat and taking a cold shower after each one. Here at home, I do have both as well, since is my greenhouse,vit gets really hot and here in south west coast of Florida could get muggy,vso condensation inside is common, so if I do vent it out, is a dry one, if not is steamy. I do like them sonce my porus gets open and I think, vad stuff comes out. But since I do work in the medical field, I have read that really there is not a healthy factor about them. But, I like them, so I will keep on. About Korean Spas, I have not tried, I think near Tampa is one (over 1 hour drive), so not sure....
