tylo-steam-bath-tylo-elysee-1Steam Rooms provide a very humid “steam bath” experience which open the pores and cleanse the body by removing toxins from the skin. These can be further enhanced by the use of fragrances which then create an experience not unlike an aromatherapy session. Some domestic one or two person steam rooms often incorporate a shower and may be installed in a large residential bathroom.

 

 


tylo bucket  ladleSaunas offer the pine fragranced, very high heat and low humidity, Scandinavian experience. Usually constructed of kiln dried pine, the heat causes the gum to ooze slightly from the wood which gives the highly stimulating aroma found in the traditional sauna.

Occasionally pouring a ladle of water onto the heated volcanic rocks on the stove causes an invigorating and short lived steam shock which helps to open the pores of the skin. An ice cold shower is usually taken once the heat becomes sufficient, which is truly exhilarating.
