Ah right, I misread the earlier post and assumes bath to refer to
a tub
of water. Surely most people refer to it just as "a sauna" or maybe
sauna room?

Well, a Turkish bath is the same as a sauna, but with 30% humidity
instead of 0%.

I would assume a Turkish bath/steam room to have a humidity approaching
100%, in fact it's more than an assumption, a quick google search
verifies that.

Sauna is 100% humidity


Wrong - if it was, you would be literally boiled alive.

"A sauna is a room made from softwood and incorporates a heater €”
either electric or wood-burning €” that is capable of reaching 190°
Fahrenheit and up. An average healthy individual can tolerate that
kind of heat because it is a dry environment with extremely low
humidity."

From a manufacturers web site, one of many
Water equals health, including when it is in the form of a cloud of
steam enveloping the body. In far off days this secret was discovered by
the Ancient Greeks, Romans and all those Middle Eastern peoples who made
the Turkish bath a philosophy of life. In contrast to the sauna, the
humidity reaches 100% and the temperature never exceeds 48°C

wrong. Have you actually HAD a sauna?
