First of all, it should be noted that coniferous baths are used not only as a means that restores strength. This procedure also has a pronounced health and restorative effect. Adoption of coniferous bath is recommended in cases of cardiovascular disease and headache.
Before you can prepare such a bath for rest and recovery of the body, you need to buy a special pine extract in the beauty salon. It is available in several varieties: liquid, powdery and in the form of tablets. If you use a liquid form of pine extract, then in order to prepare a bath, you need to add approximately 100 ml of liquid to the water (based on 200 liters of water). If there is a powdery coniferous extract, take 50 - 70 grams of this substance (based on the same 200 liters of water in the bath), and when buying a tableted coniferous extract, it is enough to add 1-2 tablets to the bath. If the volume of the bath in your apartment is significantly different from the volume specified in the example, then you need to recalculate the necessary amount of pine extract.
If you could not find the indicated cosmetic product in the store or you have a desire to make a pine bath exclusively from natural raw materials, then in this case you can collect pine needles in the forest and use it to get a decoction. A properly prepared decoction of pine needles should have a greenish tinge.
When you add a pine-fruit extract purchased in the store or a decoction of pine needles prepared by you personally into the water, the whole bathroom should be filled with a specific aroma reminiscent of the smell of coniferous forest. The temperature of water for the preparation of coniferous baths should be maintained at 35-37 ° C, and the duration of stay in the bath should be 10-15 minutes. It is best to take such health-improving baths at intervals of one day (ie 3 to 4 times a week), and it is desirable to include 12 to 15 similar procedures throughout the course.
In childhood, this procedure is useful for insomnia, rickets, reduced appetite. For children, the bath is prepared as follows: for each two buckets of water add a tablespoon of liquid or powdered pine extract. The duration of the adoption of the bath by the child is 5 to 12 minutes, and the entire course includes 15 to 20 procedures.
Essential oils, which are contained in the coniferous extract, have a disinfectant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. Conifer baths have a positive effect on the nerve endings of the skin and thereby have a soothing and relaxing effect on the body. The greenish shade of water obtained in the preparation of the coniferous bath, as well as the pleasant specific smell of needles, at the psychological level of influence help to achieve the effect of relaxation.
For joint diseases it is recommended to prepare a salt-conifer bath. It differs from a simple coniferous bath in that, in addition to the extract or decoction of needles, a sachet of sea salt is added to the water. However, before taking such a bath, you should consult a doctor. The fact is that a bath with a similar composition is undesirable to cook with increased excitability of the nervous system, excessive irritability of the skin and abnormalities of the cardiovascular system.
Prepare a salt-conifer bath will be especially useful for those women who have excess body weight.
