   A Sauna is a room with dry heat & minimal steam used. A steam-room has a large amount of steam.

   Both have a similar affect upon the body. The heat opens the pores of the skin and also cause sweating which pushes out any dirt lodged in the pores.

   After leaving the sauna/steam-room and having a cold shower the body will look much cleaner and younger.

   Both the steam-room and especially the sauna can also help with losing weight with the amount of sweat being released.
