Salt Stones - New Trend
The bath must be laid out by stones. Now there is a new kind of stones - salt. They are called "Mountain Salt". When you give up to them water, a soft salt pair appears in the bath, which is useful for joints, breathing. These salt stones in the steam room live long, but for ten procedures you will have enough.
Contrast shower - Bath soul
The main principle of the bath is the contrast of heat and cold, it is very useful for vessels. Therefore, it is necessary to have ice water. It may be a font, cold shower - that is, a bucket that twists the chain, and ice water is poured out of it. Such a procedure immediately gives cheerfulness, I speak my own experience - I go to the bath from thirteen years. I am not a supporter in order to break up and sit in warmth in a bathrobe, turning the body into the washcloth. I have a rather fast process of staying in a steam room.
The first approach is calm and warming
The temperature in the steam room is 80 degrees. Be sure to sprinkle with water onto the walls and, of course, put a quiet on the stones. Splashing on the stones is best decoast from a broom. I prefer an oak broom and fir. The first approach is a kind of more aromatherapy. It can be dry. On a broom you can sprinkle a few drops of oil, then set on the stones and overclock the dry broom with oils.
Carbonated water and "Santa Claus hat"
During the harvest, when it becomes hot, you can pour on the head and face the usual carbonated water. It is the carbonated water that gives the desired effect for the face. You can use the "Santa Claus cap": When it gets hot, water is recruited into the felt hat - and quickly on the head. Very refreshing. It is also desirable to put cold fir brooms on the head.
Salt and honey - the best body scrub
For me there are two ingredients without which the bath is impossible. This is honey and salt. You can use them separately. At first honey, and then grazing salt. Salt strengthens sweating, so it is a very good scrub. And she also softens the skin. You can combine honey and salt in a 50 to 50 ratio and rub your face. Make sure that honey and salt do not get into the eyes.

Olive oil - not only for salads
Olive oil is very useful for hair. While we parry in the bath, this oil perfectly absorbed into the scalp and hair. Then, however, it is necessary to wash off shampoo well. For the body, olive oil use undesirable - it closes the pores, and sweating decreases.
What is prohibited
You can not eat alcohol to the bath, and during - too. Also during the adoption of bath procedures do not allow head heating. Well, after the bath it is impossible to transfer. If you use an ice font, it is desirable to keep the body in warmth. It is also not recommended to eat during the entire bunk process. Maximum - fruit. And it is better to drink water or tea on herbs.
How to finish bath procedures
After the bath, if you have a fir broom or birch, very good just go into the steam room and rub the body. After that, no need to apply oil or cream. And you can also be poured by the decoction, which remained after the oak brooms, is very useful. In a bath, you brew a mixture of herbs - wormwood, souls, lavender - and give the body to make themselves.
Is it possible to bathe children?
I took my Arish for eight months to the bath. She was not sitting on the highest shelf, of course. I talked her to such a contrast of temperatures. Quietly, neat.
By the way:
Anastasia Volochkova never listened to the advice of doctors regarding her passionate hobby. "During pregnancy, when the doctor was told to me that it was impossible to go to the Russian bath, and massages were harmful, I was batted three times a week - with brooms, rigidly. And then poured by icy water. Therefore, I know for sure that the sauna will never harm, just need to competently approach this process. "
