what is the difference between sauna,steam and jacuzzi?....can u tell?

Answer 1

A sauna (IPA pronunciation: ['sɔ:nə] or ['saʊnə], Finnish ['sɑʊnɑ]) (also sweathouse, sudatory, steambath) is a small room or house designed as a place to experience dry or wet heat sessions, or an establishment with one or more of these and auxiliary facilities. These facilities derive from the Finnish sauna. The word sauna is also used metaphorically to describe an unusually hot or humid environment.

A sauna session is usually a social affair in which the participants disrobe and sit or recline in temperatures of over 80 °C (176 °F). This induces relaxation and promotes sweating.


Jacuzzi is a company producing whirlpool bathtubs and spas. Its first product was a bath with massaging jets. The trademarked Jacuzzi name is commonly misused to refer to any bath with water jets, and can thus be considered a genericized trademark. Sometimes spas and hot tubs are also mistakenly referred to as Jacuzzis. The company advertises that "they are Jacuzzi, and everyone else's are just hot tubs." Their current slogan is "Jacuzzi: Water that moves you."

In physical chemistry, and in engineering, steam refers to vaporized water. It is a pure, completely invisible gas (for mist see below). Pure steam (unmixed with air, but in equilibrium with water-liquid) has a temperature of around 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure, and occupies about 1,600 times the volume of liquid water (steam can of course be much hotter than the boiling point of water; such steam is usually called superheated steam). In the atmosphere, the partial pressure of water is much lower than 1 atm, therefore gaseous water can exist at temperatures much lower than 100 C (see water vapor and humidity).

A jacuzzi is a hot tub with jets -- essentially a whirpool bath but some keep the water hot like a hot tub. Also, Jacuzzi is a particular name brand.

A steam room is a tiled room with steam pumped in. It gets rather hot and wet therefore.

A sauna is a wooden room or structure that gets really hot. Some people make their sauna a little steamy by dumping warm on whatever is heating the sauna. This is okay if it is a wood-fired sauna but certainly not recommended for an electric-powered sauna!

When taking a sauna, it is traditional (among Scandinavians at least) to dunk yourself in cold water after the sauna (or to take a break from the sauna and do it, then go back in). Might sound too harsh but the end result, if you do this, is you'll be incredibly relaxed and sleep like a rock.

Sometimes people call a steam room a sauna too. I would call a steam room a "wet sauna."

Answer 3

Sauna usually means hot DRY heat. Steam bath involves steam or WET heat. Jacuzzi is a pool that you sit in that has rather warm water.

Answer 4

Sauna: A hot, dry, wood-lined room used for relaxing while sitting or lying down. Saunas encourage cleansing through perspiration and are usually used in alternation with cold showers.

Steam: is condensed vapour formed by heating water, is wet and humid in nature

Jacuzzi: a large whirlpool bathtub with underwater jets that massage the body

Answer 5

I imagine that telling the difference between the colours would be far more common than the ability to spell 'beige'. Beige is actually a slightly brown hued grey. Cream is actually a yellow tinted white. The stuff on top of milk is actually a very faint beige, I guess. ("Will you have whipped beige on your coffee, madame?") When, after about a week, one remembers that there is 'cream' in the 'fridge, one will often find that it is no longer beige, but finally has become the colour of butter. Some time earlier, it may even have passed through the metamorphosis of colour, and, for a brief time, actually have been cream.
