The benefits of visiting a bathhouse and sauna

For deep cleansing of the skin, bath procedures are best suited: a dry bath (sauna) or a wet bath (steam room). The heat opens the pores well, dead scales are quickly rejected, excess fat, which is removed by the sebaceous glands, is removed. A visit to a Russian bathhouse also has a beneficial effect on internal processes: blood circulation is activated, the skin is better supplied with blood, and acquires a pink tint. The kidneys begin to work more actively, peristalsis improves, harmful substances are eliminated faster, waste and toxins leave the body.

Rules of behavior in the sauna and steam bath indicate that overheating of the body should be reasonable. In this case, the immune system begins to strengthen. But if the runny nose or cold has already been overcome, the steam room is unlikely to help at the stage of the disease.

By alternating heating/cooling, the blood vessels get a good workout. The body tolerates heat more easily in summer and does not feel lethargic and weak.

In the bathhouse, the air in the steam room warms up to 60 degrees, but the humidity reaches 90 percent. In such conditions, a person sweats less than in a dry sauna. The cleansing effect is enhanced by droplets of condensation that settle on the skin.

The benefits of steaming in a sauna for the body

For people in good health, a Russian bathhouse with a broom is recommended without fail. It helps strengthen blood vessels, joints and ligaments, improve immunity and relieve fatigue.

By following the rules and recommendations for visiting a steam room, people are less likely to suffer from colds and viral diseases, recover faster from injuries and tolerate stressful situations more easily.

A broom is the main attribute for carrying out procedures. It has a healing aroma, effectively affects the skin, improves blood circulation and cleanses pores of impurities.

The health benefits of bath procedures are as follows:

Maintaining optimal temperature conditions up to 75 degrees with humidity from 40 to 60%. This promotes rapid relaxation and general detoxification of the body, strengthening bone tissue, improving blood circulation and lymph flow.
Regular beneficial effects of steam can replace full-fledged fitness classes. So, 60 minutes of staying in a Russian bath is equal to 2 hours of exercise on exercise bikes.
The bath helps stabilize blood pressure, improve the movement of blood and lymph, and normalize the functioning of the excretory system. In addition, the steam room allows you to get rid of constant headaches, improve the functioning of the respiratory system, strengthen joints and relieve pain syndromes in muscle tissue.

You need to repeat this procedure three times and then get completely under the shower.

Warm green tea is very beneficial after a sauna. It helps replenish and normalize metabolism and water balance. It is recommended to apply a variety of useful masks to steamed skin; they easily penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and help cleanse.

Expert opinion

Lovkachev Boris Petrovich

Bath master who knows everything about steaming

A dry bath is especially good for weight loss, having a complex effect on the body, removing excess fluid, and with it waste and toxins. Against the background of overall recovery, natural regeneration processes are launched, which help restore health not only at the cellular, but also at the mental level.

Indications and contraindications

Such procedures are indicated for people with the following health problems:

Pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, including muscle strains, joint diseases, pain and swelling in the ligaments. Warming up is especially good for a sore spine.
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are in remission, when, against the background of an increase in general body temperature, the pathogenic flora living on the mucous membranes dies.
Obesity and metabolic disorders.
Asthma and allergic rhinitis.
Skin diseases, including psoriasis, eczema, acne.
Diseases of the genitourinary system: chronic cystitis due to constant hypothermia, urethritis, infectious and inflammatory processes of the genital organs.
Liver diseases.

Dry vaping is more easily tolerated by patients, since the air is less saturated, which is especially good for those people who have problems with cardiovascular diseases.

But there are contraindications here too:

Respiratory diseases, including tuberculosis - dry air additionally dries out the mucous membrane, giving pathogenic bacteria a green light.
Diabetes mellitus in advanced form.
Chronic arterial hypertension, as well as previous heart attacks and strokes.

Acute kidney pathologies.
Epilepsy and other psychoneurological disorders.
Age after 60 years, when the risk of developing such a dangerous condition as embolism increases.
Oncological diseases.

A bathhouse should bring benefits first and then pleasure.

If it becomes difficult to breathe in a dry bath, dizziness appears, or nosebleeds begin, then you should leave the steam room as soon as possible.

Safety rules and features of a dry air bath

To get the maximum benefit from vaping, it is important to follow the following recommendations from experts:

Stay in the steam room for no more than 10 minutes, and the number of visits can be 2-3-4-5 times, depending on your own well-being.
Be sure to drink clean water, tea or compote, as moisture actively evaporates from the body and it is important to maintain water balance, otherwise there is a risk of dehydration.
After each entry into the steam room, it is recommended to take a contrast shower. In this case, the water temperature should be cool, but not cold. The narrowing and dilation of blood vessels during dousing will be beneficial at any age.
If children go to the bathhouse, then the maximum temperature should not exceed 60℃, while the time spent in the steam room should not exceed 5 minutes.
After visiting the bathhouse, it is recommended to cool down and recover in the rest room or dressing room, then get dressed and get ready to go home.

It is strictly forbidden to sit in a steam room for a long time, since dry and hot air puts an increased load on the cardiovascular system, which can lead to the development of some complications and the manifestation of dizziness and tachycardia.

It is best to go to a dry bath no more than once a week. Frequent visits can have the opposite effect, and the body, which cannot cope with the stress, can react unpredictably.

Be sure to remove all jewelry and metal objects that, when heated, can cause burns on the skin.

Turkish bath

The Turkish bath is rightfully considered the coldest. Here the temperature ranges from 35 to 55 degrees. The rules of behavior in the bathhouse will be simpler here. The recommended time for visiting a Turkish bath is 1-1.5 hours. After visiting it, be sure to try all the services. Refusing them is simply considered incorrect.

The Turkish bath has a special room for pre-heating the body.
Full body massage plays a huge role here. It is carried out with special mittens with a large amount of foam.
Seaweed wraps are extremely popular in Turkish baths. Laminaria has a lot of cosmetic and medicinal properties. The aromas of the sea cause a relaxing effect.
Aromatherapy sessions take place in special rooms. Here visitors are offered delicious herbal tea.

Public baths

While in such establishments, do not interfere with the rest of other people. To make everyone feel comfortable, it is recommended to follow five rules of behavior in the bathhouse:

Do not attract the attention of others, talk calmly, do not make noise.
To protect yourself from various infections, follow all personal hygiene requirements.
Place rugs on the floor in the steam room. Use a set of clothes designed specifically for the bath.
Do not use products that contain overly strong odors.

The effect of bath procedures on the body

Regular trips to the bathhouse can cure:

decreased tone of the epidermis;
joint and muscle pain;
kidney disease;
vegetative-vascular dystonia;
migraine;
blood pressure problems;
diseases of the respiratory system.

The benefit of a bath is that after warming up, the body actively secretes sweat. Along with it, waste, toxins, fat and various harmful substances are removed from the body. Blood flow increases and heart rate increases. With this activity, more nutrients are transported to the cells by the bloodstream. If you know how to properly take a steam bath in a Russian bath, then after the procedures the condition of the skin improves, breathing normalizes, and the body is cleansed.
