参考解析
解析：文章开头便提到，仪式性洗浴有上千年的历史，并具有多种形式。故选项C符合题意。
由文章第二段第四句的内容可知，今天有一小部分人把烟熏桑拿浴视为真正的桑拿浴体验。故本题选B。
文章第三段第一句中提到，桑拿浴有舒缓压力的作用。第四句中指出桑拿浴虽不能治愈感冒，但有助于加快康复的速度。该段最后一句中又指出，桑拿浴还能减少患感冒的几率。故A、B、C三项文中均有涉及。该段第三句中虽提到桑拿浴具有疏通呼吸道的作用，但这不足以说明其可以治愈哮喘，故选D。
由文章第四段第三句的内容可知，汗液可以带走毛孔中的灰尘和污垢，使皮肤容光焕发，故选A。
文章的最后一段主要列举了几种不适宜蒸桑拿浴的人群，其中包括心脏病患者、年长者、糖尿病患者及孕妇等。故本题选D。
