“A few hours ago I could tell exactly how old I was. And now I have doubts. Young. Only so much. The body and the spirit have blended. man! “.
Let's explore the world
The form may change, but the essence that existed 5,000 years ago has remained the same. Purification. Indeed, occasionally there is healthy jealousy when you think of the magnificent saunas of the Roman Empire. Apparently, they were built with lounges, sculpture rooms, gardens and picture galleries.
Maybe this is why ancient farmers, cadets or artisans of ancient Rome, Greece, Babylon, and Egypt were well aware of art and its meaning…
1) Pleasant Turkish bath
The sauna of each region, continent or country has its own characteristics. In Turkish baths – chamame – the floor is heated with hot air and then watered with hot water. It always has the same temperature – 850C. But besides the main room, there are others.
Temperatures, though not extreme, fluctuate there. Steam works particularly well for massages. Wet steam is softer than Russian and dry sauna. Like everywhere in the East, chamame time does not seem to exist. Everything is done slowly but should not be visited by those with poor blood circulation.
2) Scandinavian
The sauna, which is widespread in Scandinavian countries, offers cardiovascular training. In addition to relaxation, the body's immunity is also enhanced. The temperature in the sauna reaches 900-1400C and the relative humidity is 5-15%. Such dry air makes it easier for a person to lift heat and evaporate sweat.
To ensure normal blood circulation and toxin removal in the sauna, the feet should be at or above the level of the head. If you sit, your feet are more likely to numb. In addition, the use of fluids in the sauna is as important as anywhere else: you need to recover lost body moisture.
People who have claustrophobia do not like such saunas.
3) Japanese
The Japanese bathhouse looks very simple yet exotic. The barrel is filled with cedar sawdust heated to 50-600C, mixed with exotic grasses. As you enter this mass, you enjoy the warmth and aroma.
Sweat is absorbed by sawdust and the body is enriched with the scent of beneficial healing herbs.
Thereafter, the procedure begins with extremely hot water. The Japanese claim that such a sauna wonderfully reduces fat. They know the golden rule: those who sunbathe on an empty stomach are slimming, and those who are full become thicker.
As body weight disappears
In steam (Russian) baths the temperature is 40-60 ° C, relative humidity – up to 100 percent. The first time you enter the sauna, the body must be dry, otherwise, it can “damage” the heat and damage health – wet skin makes the vapor “heavy”.
Water, heat, and steam are the only hosts here. The heat opens and cleanses all pores of the skin, removing dirt, dead cells from them. In this way, it helps to regenerate and improves metabolism.
With improved blood circulation, nutrients, water, and oxygen are abundantly absorbed. In a hot steam bath, the pulse speeds up to 120 times per minute. As more blood flows into the blood vessels, it expands and sweat begins to flow profusely.
Activates breathing through the skin. Stones can be covered with eucalyptus, pine, or orange stains to facilitate sweat release. Eucalyptus leaves alone contain about 40 health benefits. In addition, the sauna will spread a pleasant smell.
It is often advisable for those suffering from runny nose and respiratory diseases to take a deep nasal breath in the sauna. When hot air is drawn in, it should be slightly supported in the lungs. The inhalation and exhalation exercise can be repeated up to seven times and … the runny nose disappears instantly.
“The fourth time I got out of the bath, I poured some water from the well into the yard. When I sat down in the bath, I started sipping mint tea, sometimes with a wooden spoon of liquid honey.
I took the pre-made clay. I smeared my whole body again and went to the sauna, where I was even leaned to the floor because of the heat. Even as the water poured over the stones, I began to feel the effect of the clay. It appeared as if the body was shrinking, shrinking. When dry, the clay began to crack.
After sauna
In order to finally experience the benefits and pleasures of a bath, you simply need to oil, drink a cup of tea, and – to bed!
After a bath, body moisturizers are very numerous. They can also be emulsions that absorb quickly and are suitable for normal to oily skin. Thicker milk for the skin will compensate for the moisture lost in the bath. And for those whose skin needs intensive nourishment, soft nourishing creams will suit.
The oils are quickly absorbed, leaving no sticky marks on the body, and have a delicious aroma. Essential oils of sage, tea tree, eucalyptus disinfect and have fat-regulating properties, thus normalizing skin fat. Such oils are suitable for the face.
Oil is usually applied to the hair before going to the bath – it not only prevents over-drying but also restores the structure of the hair.
