Why Salt Steam Rooms:

For those that haven't tried this I want to offer a half pound of low iron oxide himalayan salt (not the cheap reddish stuff). I will give a half pound to anyone that will go to a gym or spa and put up a Youtube video on their experience with this salt.

Putting the salt directly under the steam head make the steam session totally different. Every time I go to the gym people always comment on something is different about the steam this time. I always wait to see how long people will wait till they mention it. It's a similar feeling as being at the beach breathing in the salt in the air on a humid day especially when its a bright sunny day. I use salt in a regular sauna too but in the steam room the salt gets into the air. The salt will "melt" away and it costs about 20 bucks a month to use salt every day. The clearer the salt without the iron oxide is more expensive.

Being in a salt sauna will make your skin super salty with trace minerals. I always wait just a little while before showering to keep my pores open so my skin can absorb these minerals.

If someone is already dehydrated going in a steam room sometimes they can get worse by over steaming in a steam room.

If a person does a fast 20 minute session then mostly the body sweats out 99% water that was inside and outside the cells keeping them hydrated. If a person does a longer session 60 minutes plus (or several hours off and on like sweat lodge tradition) then the core body temperature is raised more slowly and less water is released and more toxins. Over this period of time I drink some salt water about every 20 minutes.

This is the ion meter that I use. You can soak the salt rocks in a spray bottle and mix with a little eucalyptus oil. I do this at the same time I put salt rocks on my infused tiles. This meter will tell you if you are using enough salt or the ions in the room are not high enough.
