What is the principle of the modern cedar barrel?
Herbal collection is laid in a special steam generator, then water is poured into it and brought to a boil. Through the hose, which is attached to the barrel itself, the hot phyto-steam enters it. The mini-sauna must first be warmed up, and only then take the procedure itself. At the same time inside the barrel is very convenient - there are special supports for the legs, and the head is above the level of the sides. This is considered a huge advantage, since the head is not exposed to high temperatures, and, therefore, this phyto-heating is not harmful for the elderly, and even for children.
Why cedar?
This is a truly amazing tree. Since its antiquity, its pharmaceutical properties are known. The fact is that cedar at elevated temperatures begins to release therapeutic phytoncides into the atmosphere. They, in turn, have an additional cosmetic and healing effect on the human body. Despite the fact that spruce and pine are "relatives" of cedar, they are practically not used in this area. To create such mini saunas, the wood of pine and spruce was found unfit. With their fairly cheapness, the choice nevertheless fell on a more expensive material, since such wood species, when heated, release resin that scorch the skin. But they, on the contrary, do not distinguish useful phytoncides. So the choice in favor of cedar is obvious.
