Probably every person, at least one time in his life was in the bath. For many bath is not only the opportunity to wash, it is a kind of ritual, a kind of tradition.

When bathing - not the oldest! Bath is the second mother: straightens the bones, makes the whole thing better! Without steam bath is as shchi without taste! How many different sayings and bywords can be heard from bath frequenters. Moreover, none of them was born in a green field. Nevertheless, really, many diseases fear baths as the devil fears the holy water. However, you cannot find the better prevention of colds!

However, not everyone knows that in order not to harm your body you should not forget that all in good measure ... Russian bath is as a remedy: it is important to follow the dosage while taking it!

Of course, many profs have their own tricks and secrets that they have developed during the years of practice. However, what works for one does not necessarily suit another.

Therefore, it is necessary to know the most basic rules of visiting bath.

First, do not visit this institution with full stomach! Especially it concerns those people who have high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases.

However, it also does not worth to go there too hungry. It is optimal to eat fruits, drink juice, fruit-drink or kefir product.

In any case, do not visit a bath with elevated temperature. When visiting the steam room pressure increases, pulse quickens, even add your higher temperature and you continue your treatment in the hospital. Nevertheless, at the initial manifestations of cold bath is what you need!

Under no circumstances, do not visit a bath in a state of alcoholic intoxication!

Alcohol widens blood vessels, and in combination with high ambient temperature, it becomes for your heart like a whip for the horse. But the cup of tea with honey will be very useful.

We now proceed directly to the actual bating procedures.

Stepping into the steam room, do not aspire to climb immediately to the top. More useful will be to stay at the bottom for 2-3 minutes, preparing the body to high temperature.

The most correct body position is horizontal. If you cannot lie down, take a sitting position. It is not recommended to stand in the steam room because of the large difference between the temperature at the bottom (toe area) and top (the head area), about 40-45 degrees. If you are a beginner it is not necessary to set records for the first approach 5-6 minutes are enough, following ones no more than 7-10 minutes. Between each steam room visiting take at least 10 minutes breaks.

Now the most important thing is what kind the bath is, but without a broom! The most common are considered to be oak and birch brooms. In fact, a broom can be made of almost any species of trees, shrubs and even herbs. With lung diseases, as well as upper respiratory tract diseases eucalyptus broom is very useful. Maple broom has a healing effect as it pulls over toxins and wastes. Linden broom increases sweating and has a slight diuretic effect, relieves headaches.

After the bath you are always thirsty. This is due to the fact that the body loses a huge amount of liquid. The best drink is tea, as well as various herbal preparations. Moreover, try to drink hot tea; it would be very well to add a little honey or jam.

It is desirable to spend the rest of the day in a calm atmosphere. If visiting bath becomes your regular habit, you will forget about the cold, back pain, chronic fatigue. You will become more cheerful, energetic and merry.

Have a good steam!
