The health benefits of steam bathing have been recognised and enjoyed for thousands of years and today, steam baths are making a comeback as health retreats and day spas are making them an important ingredient in detoxification.

How do they work?
Steam baths create an artificial fever, a natural and important healing response to infection. The blood vessels expand, improving the circulation of blood and lymph, increasing the flow of oxygen enriched blood to organs, muscles cells and skin. The increase in blood to the skin generates sweating, a vehicle transporting deeply imbedded grime and dirt from the pores facilitating quick and efficient detoxification.

The immune system in turn, stimulates an increase in the production and delivery to the blood of white blood cells, speeding up the generation of anti bodies.

The high moisture level in a steam room, coupled with the healing properties of select essential oils, gives symptom relief for respiratory problems. Steam is also a great tool in the management of muscular and arthritic pain. The increased oxygen enriched blood flow to muscle cells helps to reduce pain and can speed the healing process of injuries.

At Kahuna Mist, we’ve built a steam room big enough to include a table and designed our signature spa treatment, Romi Kohu – massage in the mist – for you to enjoy the detoxifying benefits of steam bathing with the invigorating, cleansing therapy of a body salt scrub, the healing and drawing properties of Australian organic clay masques and a deliciously relaxing and toning Romi (massage) with our organic peppermint and coffee body lotion.

All you need to do is lay there as you enjoy the warm moist tendrils of steam enveloping your body, holding you in its misty embrace as you sink deeply, dreamily, towards the core of your being, leaving you refreshed, your skin soft and smooth and your body and spirit in perfect harmony.
