This is a traditional ayurvedic steam cabinet. Therapeutic sweating is vital for good health. What is unique about this cabinet is that your head stick's out, while your body steams. Physiologically the head should always stay calm and cool. You've heard of a "hot head". When the head and body heat up too much, this causes aggravation of the mind, and over time this can lead to irritability of the mind and inflammatory changes in the body.
