Steam sauna

The modern steam sauna is heated to around 45 degrees Celsius. Boilers are heated, the steam is directed through pipes. Then, it is released to the heatroom. Steam saunas are a common sight in spas, hotels and water centers. While some steam sauna complexes are sporting several hot rooms with hot and cold pools, showers and the like, many have only one steam room. 

The heated steam is blown into the steam room in bursts of a minute, with fragnances adding an aroma. Steam can be impenetrable for human eyes, so these saunas are often shared by both genders all over the world. 

My personal experiences with steam saunas are primarily negative.  There are three reasons to it. Some steam saunas I've been to blow steam into the bottom of the sauna across your feet. Hot steam in extended body contact tends to hurt. I also dislike the amount of aromas within the smoke. Third - I'm not a fan of the general atmosphere and don't understand what's so good about them.  

That said, the sensation from visiting a steam sauna is highly individual and I am certain that there are good steam saunas as well.
