We begin with a dry brushing or body scrub to stimulate circulation and buff off dead skin cells. Then your treatment begins with a massage using only the best oils blended with pure therapeutic grade essential oils, followed by a treatment of your choice. All treatments include an herbal infused Steam Canopy session that allows the mixture to penetrate the body and draw out impurities, followed by a refreshing detoxifying application of body products designed to complete the treatment and prolong the benefits. Experience this delicious herbal experience that detoxifies the entire body and aromafies the mind, body and soul.

Steam Therapy offers a traditional approach to health and beauty. The Steamy Wonder™ Spa Treatments are clinical in nature with medicinal benefit of increased cardiac output, increased blood flow to the skin produced by vasodilatation. The increased blood flow brings vital nutrients to skin and subcutaneous tissue, stimulating cellular activity. An increase in the metabolic rate burns calories, improves circulation, promotes water-weight loss, and beautifies skin. Steam helps the kidneys and the liver to detoxify the blood as perspiration allows excretion of toxins and impurities through the skin.

BENEFITS

The benefits of steaming include increased energy, decreased incidence of infections, and fewer colds and flus. Many regular steam or sauna bathers have experienced that a good long sweat bath at the early onset of a cold or flu can help ward off the disease before it manifests as actual symptoms. But there is a problem. Most people cannot withstand breathing the hot air for the appropriate amount of time necessary to allow to the body to acheive the correct heat increase. That is what makes our system so much more effective BECAUSE - Your head is NOT being heated ONLY your body is covered and therefore subject to the increase temperature.

The heat from a Steamy Wonder™ treatment raises your core body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. During a fever, the production of white blood cells is increased, as is the rate of their release into the blood stream. White blood cells are the primary agents of the immune system. As the generation of antibodies speeds up, so does the production of interferon, an anti-viral protein. In this manner, your body's immune system is strengthened as it works to combat the fever.

At the same time, sweating helps eliminate toxins and waste products from the body. After detoxification, your immune system has less "housecleaning" to do and can focus on protecting your body from more serious health threats. produced by sweating, overall health and resistance to diseases is increased. 

Scientific Research:
Mayo Clinic researcher, Dr. Wakim, cites findings that the number of white blood cells increased by an average of 58% during an artificially induced fever.

The result is that many common skin conditions improve with periodic or regular Steamy Wonder™ treatments: 

Acne: Perspiration emulsifies the fat of the sebaceous glands, clearing them of sebum and bacteria which is excellent for acne. 

Anti-Aging: Exfoliation treatments with the Steamy Wonder™ open the pores, allowing the superficial and deep layers of the skin to be receptive to the nutrients in natural skin care products. The deep penetration of vitamins, minerals, and moisturizers help restore and maintain skin elasticity and tone. The steam creates a seal on the skin's surface, enclosing the nutrients within the layers of the skin where they may be absorbed and processed. 

Dry Skin and Wrinkles: Increased blood supply rushes fluids to skin's surface enhancing the development of collagen and filling in the spaces around cells, plumping up wrinkles. Stimulating the skin on a regular basis helps combat the collagen breakdown that generally results in aging and sagging skin. The resulting effect is deeply moisturized, hydrant skin.

Tanning: With the thorough exfoliation and moisturizing provided in the humid Steamy Wonder™ treatment the skin is prepared for a deeper and more uniform application of sunless tanning products resulting in a vibrant and longer lasting tan.

Sun Damage: People who have been over exposed to the sun will benefit from the rehydrating effects of a Steamy Wonder™ treatment.

"How steam and treatment packages help you lose weight and reduce cellulite: As you relax in the Steamy Wonder™, your body is actually working hard to eliminate toxins and burn fat. Weight loss becomes possible because body fat becomes water soluble at 110 degrees and the body can sweat out fats, toxins, and heavy metals. During a heat treatment your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase. Because the metabolism rate increases during the Steamy Wonder™ treatment you are burning calories, not just water!" Per Steamy Wonder website.

This program is best combined with proper diet and exericse. It is recommended to do a 4 week course with 2 treatments per week. THIS WILL BE YOUR OWN PERSONAL WEIGHT LOSS KIT FOR YOUR USE ONLY.

A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off 500 grams of sweat in a sauna-the equivalent of running three to four miles or 475 to 600 calories. While the weight of the water loss is regained by re-hydration, the calories burned are not.

"Steam therapy using the Steamy Wonder™ has been found to significantly reduce muscular pain and spasms. Pain is found to be alleviated in just one session and the benefit can last for several days after the treatment. Regular steam treatments 2 to 3 times per week have shown to have profound relief for those having muscle pain due to injury, menstruation pain, headaches, fibromyalgia and low back pain.

How steam works: As heat penetrates the muscles, capillaries dilate and there is an increased flow of oxygen to sore muscles. Muscles and tissues become more pliable and relaxed helping to increase mobility and reduce stiffness.

For best results, clients should receive 2 treatments per week for four weeks for a total of 8 treatments. THIS WILL BE YOUR OWN PERSONAL SORE JOINT KIT FOR YOUR USE ONLY!

"How steam helps you detoxify: Heat experienced during a Steamy Wonder™ treatment speeds up the chemical processes in the body, making it one of the most simple and comfortable ways to rid the body of accumulated toxins. As the pores open up and the millions of sweat glands start to excrete, the body rids itself of metabolic and other waste products. Sweat contains almost the same elements of urine, as for this reason the skin is somethimes called the third kidney.

Regular sweating can help detoxify your body as it rids itself of an accumulation of carcinogenic metals (lead, mercury, zinc, nickel and cadium) as well as alcohol, nicotine, sodium, sulferic acid and cholestrol." Per SteamyWonder website.
