Steam Houses of the Modern Age

Steaming is the old traditional way of taking a bath! The tools you would use are two buckets for hot and cold water, a dipper and a basin. In the old times, a lot of people used to steam very commonly; even I do it a lot. If you have any sore muscles, the perfect remedy would be to use cairluq, or stinkweed. If you slap the stinkweed onto your back while you steam, the pain in your muscles will disappear in a flash. How long you steam can vary between twenty minutes and all day. It makes you sweat in a good way and it is good for you. Steaming also gives you the chance to steam with friends, family and relatives. At the same time you can socialize and get to know different people. So in a way, steaming could let you meet new people and get to know them as well. Usually, a steam house is made up of a steam room and a porch or resting room. In the old traditional ways, steam houses used to be built underground. Today, steam houses are now built above ground looking like normal homes with walls, roofs rooms ad all. Building them underground can store a lot of heat and it saves the use of wood. Every day I always see someone taking a steam, and I enjoy seeing natural traditional bathing. It reminds me of the good times I've had with my greatest friends. So whenever you are going to take a bath, do it the traditional way: steaming, because it's good for you.
