Today’s Steam showers are luxurious throwbacks to the ancient Greek, Roman and Turkish baths. The whole idea of lavish baths started with the Europeans. For them, bathing was a sacred art. They used steam filled rooms to relax, cleanse and heal. Just saying the name, "Turkish Bath" or "Roman Steam Bath" sounds enticing, healthy and therapeutic, doesn’t it?
Well, you don’t have to sit and pine for the ancient days. Today, the steam room is a luxury found in many spas, fitness centers and athletic clubs. But this indulgence no longer requires you to make a trip to an expensive spa or crowded, communal fitness center. You can indeed replicate the many benefits of steam at home by purchasing a home with a steam shower.
