Sauna vs Steam Bath

Question:
Like to hear what your preference is and why.

Sauna or Steam Bath ?


Answer:
Both can make you hot and sweaty. But, I don't know if there is any benefit to that other than heat acclimation. I've found that the steam room does wonders for my sinus. I've suffered for years with sinus and allergy problems and resultant infections. Breathing that hot steam as it comes out the jets in the steam room at my club has nearly eliminated the problem. I've not realized the same benefit from the sauna. I belong to 2 gyms. One has a sauna and one a steam room. My personal preference is the steam room. I love it. I don't really care for saunas. I love the steam room because every few minutes eucalyptus is sprayed out. The steam room at my gym is usually between 107 - 111. I'm not sure what the sauna temp is.
