HEALTH BENEFITS
Heat, Sea & Serenity
Mental Health, Stress Relief & Better Sleep
Regular sauna use promotes deep relaxation and better sleep. Studies show it can significantly lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, anxiety, and depression helping you feel calmer, more balanced, and well-rested.
Clearer Skin
Regular sauna sessions deeply cleanse and revitalise your skin. The heat and steam help draw out impurities, clear pores, and boost circulation, leaving your skin smoother, softer, and naturally glowing.
Boost Cardiovascular Health & Lower Stroke Risk
A sauna session mimics the effects of light exercise, increasing heart rate and releasing feel-good endorphins. Regular use has been shown to lower blood pressure, enhance circulation, and reduce the risk of stroke—supporting overall heart health.
Relieve Chronic Pain & Fatigue
Regular sauna use has been shown to reduce inflammation and ease chronic pain. It’s a natural way to help manage conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain, and headaches—leaving you feeling looser, lighter, and more energised.
Events
Steam Works has supported events. From the Something Wild Festival in Hope Cove to SUP The Creek on South Sands beach and the Wild Night Running events. Get in touch if you’d like to hire the sauna for an event or private function.
