The "Purifying Steam" tent is an oasis of healing, relaxation, and rejuvenation. By sitting and sweating on the earth on sacred land, held within a mindful intentional container, a natural purification can occur, bringing relief through the medicine of water, fire, and native medicinal plants harvested from the local forest. Upon entering the tent, participants are invited to sit or lie down and r
eceive the steam created from a small pot on a stove, filled with medicinal herbs and leaves. The healing benefits of steam on the mind and body are well documented, and have been experienced in cultures across the world for centuries. Benefits of steam include:
•Detoxification - softens the cell walls and allows intoxicants to flush through and out of the system and promoting healing; steam is one of the only natural ways to remove heavy metals (such as mercury) built up in the body.
•Increase in Circulation - increasing circulation gives the heart a moment to rest, moving blood through the system without increased stress or requirement from the heart; it also helps to regulate blood pressure.
•Respiratory Regeneration - brings more oxygen to the body, and humidity nourishes lung wall tissue; it also provides ongoing relief from symptoms of allergies and asthma.
•Immune System Boost - increases white blood cells, which fight infections or diseases
•Stress Relief - shown to balance the autonomic nervous system, which regulates body systems and is responsible for stress responses in the body; releases trauma stored in the body from past experiences and injuries.
•Anti-Aging - by softening the skin, clearing the pores, and detoxifying organs, revitalization occurs, leading to looking and feeling more youthful.
