Steam Bath: A Natural Way of Treating Cellulite

Cellulite does not choose anyone. It affects men, women, fat or thin. So many people are affected with cellulite that a lot of miracle treatments are sprawling in the market. But none of these miracle products have been scientifically proven to be true.


Steam bath is a natural way of battling cellulite. Not only that, it also makes the skin glow and hydrates the skin as well.

Steam bath is considered to be superior than body wraps in treating cellulite. Steam bath rises the body temperature faster than a body wrap. It takes an hour to achieve an increase in body temperature using body wraps while steam bath only takes 10 minutes.

I read an article about the Vietnamese natural way of treating cellulite. According to the article, during a steam bath session, you can pick the area of your body with cellulite and knead it.

Cellulite appears when the excess water in the body is not excreted by the body through sweat. Sweat passes through the skin. Overtime, the water retained in the skin will harden and form into cellulite. The heat caused by steam bath breaks down cellulite and is flushed away when you perspire.

Using commercial treatments for cellulite may not be enough. Steam bath will not only help treat your cellulite but it will also make your skin healthier and eliminate toxins in your body.

Cellulite: Truth About This Condition

I was writing an article about cellulite and I thought it would be better if I share it here on my blog.

Cellulite is the appearance of dimpled, lumpy skin usually on the thighs, butt and stomach. It affects more girls than boys.
According to studies, girls are more prone to cellulite because of the difference in collagen structure. The collagen in men has a tighter structure than women. In men, the collagen looks like a cross-linked fence while for women, it appears like a picket fence. The structure of  collagen in men is better in holding fats than in women.
Cellulite affects both fat and slim people. Although obesity aggravates the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite is caused  by fatty tissues formed in honeycombs pushing against the connective tissue underneath your skin. This condition does not pose any medical risks but it is cosmetically disturbing.

Various products have been advertised to effectively reduce and eliminate cellulite but none of these products are scientifically proven to be effective.

Cellulite is associated to lifestyle and diet. In developing countries, women are less affected by cellulite. Especially those who live in the provinces. When you check their breakfast, they eat calorie-filled foods but they are able to use all the calories they consumed. Why? Because they are moving. They go to the farm and plant their seeds. They get water from a well miles away from home and they do household chores all the time.

On the other hand, in industrialized countries, women eats calorie-filled foods but they are not able to burn them. Why? Because they hurry to go to work and sit on their office for the longest time.

It only means that cellulite can be reduced by exercise and well balanced diet. Move around, try not to be lazy. If you can walk going to work, do so. Healthy living does not only make your cellulite away, it makes you healthier as a person.

So, before you decide to use those cellulite treatments, change your lifestyle first. Live a healthy life and eat healthy.
