Bath

What is a bath for a Russian person? This is not just a washing process, it is a whole rite of purification, including the soul. In the bath, you can leave all the negative emotions, having evaporated them with a fragrant birch broom (or fir, or oak) - this is what you like best. What is the ease at the exit of the steam room. The body breathes, the soul sings, in general, a complete buzz.

But the bath is different. As they say, everything is an amateur. Three main types of baths are most popular: Russian steam room, Turkish (hamam) and Finnish sauna.

The Russian bath is distinguished by its high humidity. The temperature in it warms up to about 60 C, and the humidity is at a level of 75%. With such indicators, it is not recommended to stay in the steam room for more than 10-15 minutes: the load on the heart increases. However, how much drive can you get in this short time. How to whip yourself and your partner with a broom. And if you had psychological stress , then after the bath you will not care about anything, except for the sofa and the state of bliss.

Brooms

This is a mandatory attribute of the Russian bath. Birch broom absorbs sweat well and has a healing effect. Oak is good for those who have skin conditions. It perfectly cleanses the skin, makes it elastic and relieves inflammation. Eucalyptus broom is indispensable for respiratory diseases. The trachea and bronchi are instantly cleared if fresh tincture is applied to the stones.

The Finnish sauna is a dry steam room, in which the air temperature warms up to 100-120 C, but due to the low humidity (up to 10% in total), being in such a bath is easier to bear than in a Russian steam room. Although it remains possible to splash water with aromatic additives on the stones. And what kind of aroma exudes the wood from which the walls and shelves in the sauna are made ... It's a pure pleasure to sit and breathe in the smell of the forest, well, just go and enjoy it right now.

The Turkish bath is the most "cold" of the above, because the temperature level in it is not more than 60 degrees, and the relative humidity is almost 100%. But the oriental bath has its own charm. In particular, the multi-stage procedure itself is interesting: first you steam in the warming room (very similar to a sauna), then go to the next department, where you are first peeled on a hot stone lounger, then foam massage. By the way, in the east only men work as bath attendants. After a layer of dirt has been removed from you in the mentioned way (yes, it’s dirt, because the steamed top layer gathers noticeable spools), you go for a massage with aromatic oils. But before that, you will certainly be presented with a cup of fragrant tea and you are relaxing in a room with subdued light.

After a Turkish bath, lightness is also acquired, and the skin becomes smooth, smooth.

In general, any bath is a cool cleansing. Who has not tried yet - be sure to go to all three (not immediately, of course).
