- its health benefits are tremendous. The principle of "artificial
fever" (remember Hippocrates: "Give me fever and I can cure
any disease") plays the leading role. This is why almost everywhere,
steam bathing (in steam showers or saunas) became an important medical procedure and an impetus to
the development of health care.
