Which is better: bath or sauna?

 In the end, the essence is the same: good warm up, and sweat with sweat from the body to expel toxins. But in the bath and sauna is going on - in different ways. A visit to the steam room in any form is a high load on the body. Although the temperature in the traditional Russian sauna is lower than in the sauna (about 70 degrees counter-100-110). A moisture - contrary, above.

In the sauna humidity does not exceed 10%. The impact of such dried and piping hot air stand not everyone. Therefore, in the sauna made to sit quietly, without unnecessary movements. Broom is not required. And if you try to warm up to them - can be badly burned skin.
