Went to friend's place for a haircut and steam. Chinese herbal steam that was. It had over 37 different types of herb. Supposedly to be great for my Arthritis. Yes, it was good when the steam started and the subsequent 2 hours afterward. After that, I can tell you the weather was changing.
It was funny during my "steam". Usually, the lady would have left the room; but this one just sat and talked. Why not. I needed the practice anyway, Mandarin. ;-) She was quite petite, and about 27 or so; but man, she was mean. Very hard on my shoulder and neck and head. Found every knots on my shoulders and back due to my computer posture. Hurt like hell. I didn't know if I was sweating from the steam or from the pain! I had to change towels during my hour-long torture session.
The steam, from the Chinese medicine standpoint was to promote blood flow. Most people were so out of shape, they could only do 10 minutes. Me, 25 minutes today. I sweat from my head. And this lady just laughed and kept wiping sweat from my face.
