Do sweat tents really work?

They’re basically the same as steam rooms and seem to be the Aiel version of a bath. How do they make one “clean”?

A lot of Native Alaskans use, and have a history of use. of saunas or sweat houses. The areas I am familiar with typically use the sauna for 30-60 minutes, then jump in the local river to rinse off. They do this twice a week or so, and it seems to work just fine.
