But what about newcomers who want to know the full depth of the art of the bath and not make any mistakes? With what to begin, how to get the maximum benefit, how to provide a comfortable rest? You will find answers to these questions in our article.
Preparation
for bathing procedures
Before the
first trip in the bath you need to prepare carefully: it's easy to have a snack
(but do not overeat!) And keep yourself in a good mood. Do not go to steam
immediately after the gym, rest from physical exertion for at least half an
hour. You will need special equipment-a bath cap, a towel, mittens, a sheet
and, of course, a broom. In advance, please specify if the steam room is
equipped with high-quality cooperage products for the bath - they will make
your rest more comfortable.
Key
recommendations
Before
visiting the sauna, take a warm shower without soap and do not wet your hair -
it will protect your head from overheating. Do not immediately rush to the
therma, first spend a few minutes in the dressing room. Warm air rises from the
bottom-up, so when entering the steam room, first of all, take the lower shelf
- so the body will gradually get used to heating.
Take a
horizontal position, legs and head should be approximately at the same level. A
little rest and only then go to the use of a bath broom. These simple rules of
visiting the bath will help you avoid bad health. Before leaving the steam
room, spend a couple of minutes in a quiet state on the bottom shelf.
Having no
experience of going to the bath, be careful with the cooling procedures. Ice
shower or wiping snow keeps for the future, and for the first time, limit
yourself to pour water at room temperature. Do all movements in the steam room
slowly, without a sharp change in the position of the body.
For women, the question is especially relevant: what procedures should be done in the bath? Almost everything is allowed here: masks for face and hair, the use of scrubs on a natural basis, massage.
Precautionary
measures
There is an
important rule of visiting a Russian bath: do not steam for colds, viral
diseases, high body temperature, severe physical fatigue, exacerbation of
chronic diseases. During pregnancy and feeding, you can only bathe after
consulting a doctor. Do not drink alcohol in the bath. If you feel dizzy, heart
palpitations, nausea, shortness of breath, immediately leave the steam room and
rest in a ventilated room. With further feeling of bad-being, call an
ambulance.
Bath beauty
procedures should be carried out only in the intervals between the visit of the
steam room. As for the favorable time of the day, it is better to sweat out in
the morning hours. Limit one session per 10-15 minutes. Do not stay in the
sauna for more than two to three hours a day. Following our recommendations, you
will not only enjoy pleasure, but also health benefits.
