Hippocrates is recognized around the world as being the "Father of Medicine." Although living in the third century BCE in Greece, this physician courageously faced his peers in the medical community and the public sentiment of the day and changed the future of medicine. He proposed and spent his life defending the theory that disease and illness was a result of diet, life habits and the person's environment.
Although this may sound obvious in this day and time, ancient Greece believed differently. The common viewpoint of the day was that ill health was a punishment of the gods. Medicine and religion were intertwined and Hippocrates worked tirelessly to disassociate the two. He also stated unequivocally that steam created an "artificial fever" that rid the body of impurities and promoted better health. Steam vaporizers are the modern day approach to this ancient health secret.
Regarding the health benefits of steam, Western medicine has been slow to accept what is well known and documented throughout other parts of the world. From the saunas in Finland to the baths in Turkey to the steam rooms in Japan, people have been improving their overall health with steam and steam vaporizers. In Japan, for example, there have been centuries of documented study of the positive effects of steam on chronic pain, hypertension, CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), depression, addiction, respiratory and cardiovascular issues.
Now that we are expanding our communications and exchange of knowledge on a worldwide basis, all this vital information is accessible regardless of where people live. Today it is common practice with documented results that the use of steam vaporizers has even more positive effects on health and well being than originally thought. This technique is used in weight loss programs without the need for dangerous pills or diets that adversely affect the body's nutritional levels. As an added bonus to this process, the use of steam vaporizers will reduce the amount of cellulite that is built up in the body.
Steam vaporizers are also being used in smoking cessation programs to cleanse the body of nicotine, and assist the smoker in laying down those tobacco products. Other cleansing uses are being implemented for the removal of toxic chemicals introduced into the body from the food we eat.
Pesticides and other noxious components used in the farming and processing arenas can become trapped in the body and lead to harmful side effects to overall health. Steam vaporizers can purify the body by ridding it of these undesirable chemicals. Hippocrates theory about the "artificial fever" has been proven over and again through the centuries, and this ancient practice is still beneficial today.
