how to take steam bath - #25106

Aubrey

I am really confused about how to take steam bath the right way. I've heard a lot about its benefits, especially for my skin and respiratory issues, but honestly, I just don't know where to start. Last week I tried using my shower for steam, but it got too hot, and I felt like I was suffocating! Ugh, not what I was going for at all. My friend said I should've used a bowl with hot water and covered myself with a towel but that just sounds difficult, ya know? Like, how to take steam bath safely and effectively without feeling like I'm going to pass out? Also, how long should I really be in there? I've heard mixed things about timing, and I'm worried about overdoing it. Should I do this every day? I also read about some herbal additions you can put in the water — do you guys suggest any specific herbs? Am I supposed to just sit there and breathe? I'm just so lost and want to get this right. Any help would be soooo appreciated! Thank you!
