00:00 When it comes to wellness and healthy living, there exists the Lassena steam bath, known
00:08 for its healing powers.
00:10 The water, which comes with a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius, is sourced from a natural
00:15 aquifer with a depth of 2000 feet and a natural pH of 7.78.
00:21 Lassena steam bath is a natural sauna, currently the first of its kind in Nigeria, where steam
00:29 baths focus on helping people improve their health life and also have healthy living.
00:37 We call it our natural artesian alkaline steam bath because it's like a biotherapy center
00:47 where you have a natural health bath.
00:50 The healing waters, however, which was discovered in 2009, did not come by so easily.
00:57 Lassena artesian steam bath is sourced from the Lassena artesian natural aquifer, which
01:02 was discovered in September 2009.
01:05 Lassena originally started as a bottled water company by Dr. Lance Musa Elakama, the chairman
01:11 of the company.
01:12 The goal was to have a water cottage factory.
01:15 So we also bottled Lassena water as well.
01:18 That was the goal, to have water in bottles.
01:20 When we struck the 44 hole, it came out hot, it came out steaming, it came out with different
01:27 properties.
01:28 We're like, this is special, what's going on here?
01:30 We had to do research, we had to do findings, had to get experts to know what is this water
01:35 about.
01:36 In a country where stress levels are constantly on the rise, the Lassena steam bath not only
01:42 detoxifies but reduces stress to the nearest minimum.
01:46 The water is actually coming with a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius.
01:50 So when you are sitting there, just in five minutes, you are getting detoxified of this
01:55 acid waste and even the cortisol is going down.
01:59 And then there will be release of a hormone that we call endorphins, which is the happy
02:04 hormones that makes you feel very relaxed.
02:07 And then you come out of the steam bath, you're very excited and you see that the stress hormones
02:11 are being brought down.
02:14 The Lassena steam bath place is located at the Riverview Estate of Esherioke, Ogun State,
02:20 close to Berger, Lagos.
02:22 The Lassena steam bath can also be used for the management of insomnia, among other health
02:28 cases.
02:29 We have a client who has been here since inception.
02:32 When he first came here, he came in on a wheelchair because he was a stroke patient.
02:38 And by the grace of God, he's here almost every day, twice a week he's here.
02:44 Because he has gotten it.
02:47 With wheelchair, my son, my two sons, my wife, and I'm going to take me down to this place.
02:54 At that time I can't even talk.
02:56 I can't tell whether it's hot or cold.
02:58 I don't even know anything.
02:59 They will take me in.
03:00 After about 30 minutes, they will check me, bring me out.
03:05 I rest for about 40 minutes, take me back.
03:10 Every day.
03:11 Before one year, I leave everything, leave everything, managing myself.
03:15 While the Lassena steam bath is great for general body wellness, it is out of bounds
03:20 for several persons.
03:21 There are some categories of people that we don't allow to use the steam bath.
03:25 For example, the pregnant women.
03:26 And if you are epileptic, we don't allow you to enter.
03:30 And if you are 80 years and above, you are not allowed to enter the steam bath.
03:34 However, all other protocols have been put in place to ensure that proper safety precautions
03:40 are observed.
03:41 When you come in for the steam bath, the nurse says check your vitals.
03:44 Check your blood pressure, check your blood sugar.
03:46 Because we have to ensure that your sugar level is stable so you don't get dizzy while
03:51 in the steam bath.
03:52 And so yeah, you should ensure that your blood pressure is stable, not too high and not too
03:57 low.
03:58 So you can easily monitor and know how best to serve you.
04:02 We have in-house doctors as well to ensure that whoever comes in here is in safe hands.
04:08 What started out as a bottled water company is now a healing solution to several others
04:13 with testimonies to show for it.
04:15 It's only for my enemy, I would not recommend steam baths.
04:19 Because I know he didn't wish me well, so I won't wish him well too.
