“Jimjilbang” refers to the common, co-ed area that is the traditional center of Korean spas. Here families and friends can gather to get pampered together. At Gangnam Sauna, our Jimjilbang is second to none. Among its many outstanding amenities are the specialty sauna rooms (Salt, Clay, Jade and Ice).
CLAY ROOMS By being in the clay rooms for at least 15-20 minutes your skin will start to sweat. The red clay contains essential minerals known to make skin healthier and firmer by increasing the flow of oxygen to the skin cells. It detoxes the skin and relaxes muscles and joints. Red Clay has been known to provide the skin intense moisture and hydration.
The Salt Sauna with the help of thousand-year-old minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium and selenium improves the physical, chemical, and hydrodynamic conditions of the body. The respiratory system is purified, circulation improves, the immune system is strengthened, and muscles are relaxed. In addition, halotherapy(salt therapy) is healing for skin conditions.
The powerfully hot Jade Room eases muscle tension helps with arthritis and is known to lower the cerebral temperature. The sodium and mineral within the waits of Jade Spa also help in the balancing of hormones. In Asian Culture, Jade has long been reversed for its healing properties and in aiding stress relief.
Not only does a bath make the blood flow easier, it also makes it more oxygenated by allowing you to breathe deeper and slower, particularly when taking in steam. Taking a bath or spa can kill bacteria and improve immunity. It can relieve the symptoms of cold and flu.
Facilities offering sauna bathing often claim health benefits that include detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation.
Relieves Tension: The heat from the sauna soothes your nerve endings and also relaxes your muscles. A less well known benefit of saunas and steam rooms is that they can minimize joint pain, as well as minimizing the pain of headaches due to the high heat
