Steam cleanses both physically and mentally, a short session invigorates and a longer one relaxes, making one sleep like a baby. A shower rinses dirt off the surface, but steam gets your pores "squeaky-clean". There's nothing that cleanses like steam, but it's not just to clean off. Steam/sauna flushes the pores from the inside out so they're really clean. If you have acne, nothing cleans your pores better than this therapy. See similar questions...

People sat on benches around the room. These rooms were not very large, only about 10' x 10'. See similar questions...

Toxic chemicals are stored in the fat cells and the body will not let go of the fat unless or until you get rid of the toxins.

Yes, we do use steam. When bread goes into a hot, dry oven, the outside begins to dry out and form a crust before the bread has had a chance to finish its final rise.

We steam all of our breads. See similar questions...
