A sweating-bath is a type of steam bath that has been used for centuries across different cultures. There are several synonyms for this traditional practice, including steam room, sauna, hot tub, and Turkish bath. A steam room or sauna is typically found in a gym or spa, while a hot tub is usually located in a backyard or swimming pool area. A Turkish bath, on the other hand, is a more traditional form of steam bath that originated in the Islamic world. Regardless of the term used, these practices offer a range of potential health benefits, including detoxification, improved circulation, and reduced stress levels.
