How Effective Is a Steam Bath for Weight Loss and Metabolism Boost? - #14251
I have been looking for natural ways to improve metabolism and burn fat, and I recently came across the concept of a steam bath for weight loss, which is said to help in detoxification, sweating out excess fluids, and increasing calorie burn. However, I am unsure how scientifically effective it is for sustained weight loss. Ayurveda recommends Swedana (herbal steam therapy) as a Panchakarma therapy for deep detoxification, fat reduction, and improved circulation. Some sources say that using herbal steam baths with Dashmool, Neem, or Tulsi can stimulate digestion, remove toxins, and reduce bloating, but I want to know if this method alone is enough for weight loss or if it should be combined with dietary changes. For those who have used steam baths for weight loss, what results did you experience? Did it help with fat burning, improved skin tone, or better metabolism? Would love insights from people who have incorporated steam therapy into their weight loss routine and whether it provided sustainable fat reduction.
