---Sauna---

Taking really cold showers will help alleviate that tired feeling.

The sauna benefits your skin more than anything else. It cleans the toxins/bacteria out of your pores. The heat causes your pores to expand and open, and the steam helps the toxins/bacteria come out. It's important, actually its very important, to take a COLD shower right after using a sauna. By taking a cold shower, it closes your pores again so oils and bacteria can't get in. Our house has a sauna in it(i know im superlucky), and you just motivated me to start utilizing it again!

Wait are you talking about a Sauna or a Steam Room? Most of the Suanas around town are dry with electrical heaters and hot rocks so you can't put water on them or you'll start an electrical fire. The steam rooms are usually mist filled and the steam itself is creating all of the heat. I prefer steam rooms but recetly I've been sick so I've been hitting the sauna and using a fine eucalyptis spray on the rocks (so it doesn't short the system) to clear my sinuses.

Ours is just a small room made of cedar, with a Sauna machine in one corner. It's called a Saunamatic(the machine). It's electrical, and has those cylindrical tubes you find in most oven, the ones that glow orange. It has the hotrocks ontop, and is basically enclosed in a steel box. It, however, was built for water to be poured on it! You pour the water on the hotrocks and the steam fills the room.

If I were you, I'd look abit closer at the sauna equipment to see if it really was intended for water or not. Our's doesn't look like it should be, but there's a tap built into the wall right beside it and the wires going into the wall are thickly insulated.

Yeah it's the same thing and there's a sign above it that says "This is a DRY sauna. Pouring water or anyother liquid on these rocks will cause damage to the electrical system or fire"

To which I say no thank you. You can spray a fine mist on the rocks but the electrical department advised me not to do anything other then that.

Off to the steam room for water vapor.
