Preparatory stage: What should be done first in the bath?

Many people imagine trips to the bathhouse completely wrong. Most are confident that everything is done in the bathhouse quickly and simply: I went in, undressed, stayed in a steam room, plunged into the ice hole or the pool left. In fact, everything is much more complicated, there are several stages of stay in the bathhouse and each of them differs from another.

It is important to be prepared for temperature changes in the bathhouse

The first step is preparatory. It is important to understand that it is impossible to ignore it, otherwise subsequent procedures will not only not bring pleasure, but may also harm.

Initially, a person needs prepare yourself for further temperature differences. Therefore, first of all, we go to the washing and take a shower there. Water should not be cool and all the more cold, on the contrary, wash with warm water before entering the steam room. Thus, you will warm your body and it will easier to transfer the high temperatures of the steam room.
At this stage exclude a washcloth and soap. Using soap, you degrease your skin, and it becomes unprotected from high temperatures.
Also, keep in mind that at this stage you can not wash, wet curls, especially ladies with long hair. The thing is that wet hair contributes to a heat stroke. In order to avoid such consequences, put a hat for the bath on your head and slightly moisten it with water.
At the same stage you need to prepare brooms. Dip them into warm water, then shake off the water and put the brooms in the bags so that everything except the handle is hidden.
Now that all preparatory procedures are done, you can safely proceed to the next stage.

First approach to the steam room: Rules and recommendations

The first approach to the steam room is the most responsible and possibly difficult, especially if we talk about a person who came to the bathhouse for the first time. Therefore, during the first call, you need to be extremely neat and monitor the reactions of your body. In the event of a deterioration in well -being, you need to immediately leave the steam room and rest a little in a cooler room.

At this stage, brooms are not yet used, a person simply enters the steam room and is located on the 1st-2nd step, that is, where it is cooler. The previously prepared brooms are put on the upper shelves. There they must lie down for at least 5 minutes.
A few minutes later, your body will respond: the heartbeat will become more frequent, the skin will blush and sweating will appear.
If well -being allows, go up to the following steps, however, overdoing during the first call, is still not recommended.
The total time that can and should be in the steam room at this stage is 5-10 minutes.
Next, we leave the steam room and rest. Remember, you should not part with approaches. You need to relax after the steam room as much as you stayed in it or even a little more.

It is also important to spend the right rest time, however, more on that later.

The second approach to the steam room: Rules and recommendations

After rest, it is time to carry out a second call. The temperature in the steam room at this stage needs to be slightly increased.

To get started, go to the steam room and sit a little on the lower shelves, just a couple of minutes.
Next, you can start working with a broom. However, for convenience, this procedure should not be carried out independently, but with the help of a comrade who can fall into you.
We take out brooms from packages. One broom goes to the chin of a lying man, the second - into the hands of a steamer.
First, we carry out the processing procedure. The essence of the riveting is that the Parisher waves brooms over the body of a lying person in such a way that the leaves practically do not touch his body.
Next, we make shaking. We raise the broom up to the ceiling of the steam room, since there the temperature is much higher there, and then we apply to different parts of the body of the lying person. Particular attention should be paid to the legs, or rather to the feet, since it is in this place that we have many active points. After the work is over with the feet, you need to pay attention to all other areas.
The next stage is a hanging. This procedure involves non -senile blows to different parts of the body. The most important thing is during the fuck is to calculate the power of the blow. The lying person should not be hurt, the process should give pleasure.

After intense kidnappings, let the body rest a little. To do this, put your back, legs, stomach with a broom.
You can complete the second entry into the steam room with the so -called compresses. As well as during the shaking, raise the broom up, and then lower it to the human body, but at the same time press it tightly for 5 seconds.
After working with a broom, lie down a couple more mines., Let the body come to your senses, and then slowly rise and leave the steam room.
The total time in the steam room at this stage is 15 minutes.
Rest outside the steam room at least 15-20 minutes.

Third visit to the steam room: Rules and recommendations

Immediately note that you can go into the steam room not 3 times, but all 5-7. However, it is necessary to take into account your state of health, well -being at the moment, you also need to correctly evaluate your strength.

If this is your first trip to the bathhouse, then do not stay there too long. The thing is that with habit, the body may not withstand such loads and fail.

Prepared people with every approach to the steam room increase the time of stay in it. At the same time, do not forget that the maximum amount of time, which can be spent in the steam room for 1 entry, should not exceed 20 minutes. And this is only if you are a happy owner of good health.
After each subsequent entry, also increase the rest time. That is, if you sat in the steam room for 25 minutes, then you should rest at least 25 minutes.

The third entry into the steam room of mono to carry out with good well -being

During the 3rd call, if desired, you can also use a broom, repeating all of the above procedures.
Puties after the 3rd time need to be carried out only if you feel that not only the soul, but also the body wishes it.
All procedures in the bath should not be carried out longer than 3 hours. This time is enough for you more than, you will have time to take a steam and relax with friends.

Contrast procedures in the bath: we rest in breaks between arrivals in the steam room

The time of stay in the bath can be divided by calls in the steam room and rest. By rest, we mean the contrasting procedures known to everyone, which can be carried out by dipping into the pool, hole or rubbing snow. The essence of such procedures is a sharp change in temperature after the person’s stay in the steam room.

For contrasting procedures should be prepared

It is important to note that such procedures must be done extremely carefully and you need to prepare for them, gradually tempering yourself.

If you came to the bathhouse for the first time or even the second and third, then it is too early for you to carry out such procedures. Unknown to a sharp change in temperature, the body can respond completely differently, so you should not risk it. You can start with a contrast shower, that is, after the steam room, go to the shower and take a cool shower.
You should not dousize cold and even more so ice water. If desired in winter, you can go out after the steam room and stand there for a couple of mines. This is also a kind of hardening of the body.
Inveterate bath lovers, of course, can afford such a luxury. Therefore, in winter, they plunge into the hole, lie in the snow and wipe them. In the summer, such procedures are replaced by dousing with ice water.
In addition, during the rest, you can drink a cup of warm tea or decoction of herbs, it will relax you even more and calm your nervous system.

What can not be done in the bath: the most common mistakes

In order for the campaign in the bathhouse not ended with unpleasant consequences, this action must be approached responsibly. Unfortunately, many people do not know obvious things that are forbidden to do while in the bathhouse.

To so long bathe a broom. Many mistakenly believe that the more they work with a broom, the better it will be for the body. In fact, everything needs to know the measure. The appearance of red spots on the skin indicates only that the body from high temperatures and exposure to the broom has overheated, and this, as you know, is fraught with consequences. Therefore, you need to steam with a broom in moderation and at the same time be sure to pay attention to the reaction of the body.
Using creams, ointments etc. Before the steam room. These means close our pores, firstly. Secondly, it is customary to enjoy the smell of brooms, not creams in the bathhouse. You need to go into the steam room with clean and dry skin, but after this procedure you can already use the cream, etc.
Come to the bathhouse with a full stomach. You should not eat up in front of the bath, it is also worth excluding before the procedure to take calorie and fatty foods, since in the steam room under the influence of high temperature in the intestine, active fermentation and decay begins, which contributes to the spread of toxins throughout the body. Before the bath, it is best to eat light food, fish and meat are best excluded from the menu.

Long for a long time in the steam room. Remember, high temperature can be not only useful, but also harmful. In case of overheating of a person, fainting and poor well -being await. Therefore, it is recommended to be in the steam room for no more than 20 minutes. And at the same time you need to consider your condition. If you feel that even by staying 5 minutes. In the steam room, you are uncomfortable, too stuffy and difficult to breathe, immediately leave the room and sit in a cool place.
Drinking alcohol. It just so happened that campaigns in the bathhouse are associated with beer and fish, as well as stronger drinks. However, drinking alcohol in the bath is strictly prohibited. The thing is that our cardiovascular system in the bathhouse is subjected to huge loads and if alcohol is also added to these loads, the consequences can be lethal. Think before making up for the body's water balance with beer, it is better to prefer hot tea, homemade kvass or a decoction of herbs.

Remember, ignoring such recommendations can lead to undesirable consequences.
