Russian sauna
Imagine, it turns out our simple Russian word bath came from the Latin balneum, which means getting rid of pain, sadness and disease. Perhaps very accurate!
To whom it is not clear what lepota is, I explain: in translation from Old Russian it is a buzz.
However, not only Russians like to steam! From time immemorial, baths have existed in different countries and different peoples: Greek, Roman, Eastern (Turkish, Bukhara), sulfur (Georgian), Finnish, Colombian, Japanese (ofuro), etc.
But whatever they differ, one thing unites them: they go to the bath house not only to wash, but first of all to communicate.
The best time to visit the bath is morning.
In an ideal steam room, the walls, floors and shelves should be dried, the room is ventilated. In the steam room, made in the mind, the shelves have small gaps, and the floor with a slight slope, so that everything unnecessary goes away. The optimum temperature for steam is 50-60 * C with a humidity of 80-100%. Higher temperatures in untrained people can cause vasospasm.
An experienced bath attendant will always give a couple in time and will pour infusion of medicinal herbs into the fireplace.
Mint, eucalyptus, oregano, needles are very useful.
Excellent inhalation for the respiratory tract and for the skin is of great benefit. Even better, when such herbal tinctures are sprayed on the walls of the steam room, then there is a unique aroma. Anyone who tasted a real Russian steam room will never forget the feeling of pleasant fatigue and at the same time lightness in the whole body, one word of lepot!
But steaming every day is not worth it, enough 2-4 times a month. Bath heat makes all the main systems of the body work hard, while not requiring muscle costs from a person.
The high temperature of the steam room makes the body work the same way as when doing heavy physical work.
Therefore, we can assume that steam is not worse than any simulator.
To get the maximum benefit from the bath, you need to know some tricks, master the, so to speak, ritual.
