Today, almost everyone has a shower at home, a bath with hot and cold water. But these benefits do not replace the bath - an ideal means of training the reactions of thermoregulation, which especially effectively strengthens and hardens our body. Short-term exposure to extreme heat and cold increases the person's ability to tolerate weather changes and prevent illnesses.
Pros of a good bath
An important factor of the bath is the effect of high temperature (60-100 °), air and water. In paired, for example, human tissues take an additional amount of heat and sometimes heat up to 45-50 ° (on the skin). With the warming of the surface layers, the temperature of the blood also increases, as a result of increased blood flow to the vascular bed of muscles, skin with an acceleration of blood flow 3-5 times. At the same time, a large amount of liquid and salts are lost, which can lead to overheating. Therefore, it is necessary to know the functional capabilities of your body, which depend on sex, age, degree of fitness.
It is very important to competently leave the deep warming to the initial state. People full, for example, are cooled much more slowly than lean ones, and the loss of fluid in each organism is individual. A significant loss from sweat of vital microelements can lead to a sense of weakness, heaviness in the head, the appearance of pain in the calf muscles. These losses must be compensated by the intake of easily assimilated infusions of plants and mineral waters. It must be remembered that it is better to take heat-air procedures while lying down, with a subsequent rest of at least 15-30 minutes.
Women's Herbs
According to the recommendation of doctors, especially careful when visiting the sauna, the baths should be women due to the physiological characteristics of the body. They should first be placed on the lower shelf, change the position of the body every 2-3 minutes. When the appearance of the sweat on the body, we can consider the first period of adaptation of the organism to the steam completed - it is necessary to pass to the first intercooling, which usually lasts about 10-15 minutes. After this, you can proceed to a deeper warming of the body, sitting on the first or second shelf. Between the visits to the steam room should take infusions of medicinal plants (150-200 mm). Very good, for example, such a collection (in grams):
1. Melissa officinalis, herb - 25.
2. Cinnamon cinnamon, fruits (pounded) - 50.
3. Blueberries are common, fruits - 50.
4. The sequence is tripartite, the grass is 30.
5. Black currant, leaf, fruit - 50.
6. Hawthorn blood red, flowers and fruits - 50.
7. Ashberry, fruits - 50.
8. Blackberry sizaya, the tops of plants -30.
2-3 tablespoons with the top of the collection brewed 500 ml of steep boiling water, we languish 30 minutes. Filter, add honey, lemon to taste and take in a warm form in small sips, enjoying the aroma and taste.
After the second warming in the steam room, water cooling is recommended (at a water temperature of at least 25 ° C) for 1-2 minutes (but this depends on individual tolerability). After the third visit to the steam room, you should rest for 20-30 minutes, drink infusion of medicinal plants or fresh berries and fruits. Such a multivitamin infusion is suitable:
1. Hawthorn blood red, fruits - 50.
2. Blueberry, fruits - 50.
3. Cinnamon cinnamon, fruit crushed - 50.
4. Ashberry, fruit - 50.
5. Black currant, fruits - 50. 4-5 tablespoons. mixture pour 500 ml of steep boiling water, simmer for 20-30 minutes. Strain. Use in a warm form.
Safe steam room
I would like to note that it is always necessary to observe safety techniques for visiting saunas and baths. If someone has a syncope of overheating, it must be immediately taken out into a cool room, placed on a flat surface and provided with fresh air. You can give a sniff the cotton wool with ammonia. Be sure to call a doctor.
Especially careful you have to be in the baths with young children, since their thermoregulatory system is still far from perfect. Contraindication to the appointment of baths and saunas in gynecology and obstetrics are only acute inflammatory diseases, conditions after recent surgical interventions, complications of pregnancy, cancer, the presence of benign tumors.
Do not advise doctors to visit baths and saunas for people with active inflammatory processes of internal organs, with epilepsy, oncological diseases, circulatory insufficiency above grade II A, ischemic disease with angina, after myocardial infarction (if not passed 6 months), hypertension II B and III stages, mitral stenosis, bronchial asthma with frequent seizures, infectious diseases in the acute period.
What a good sauna
In recent years, saunas have been widely used in our country. Sauna affects a person literally from the first minute of stay in it, it affects the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, internal organs, including the kidneys, causes a change in the secretion of hormones, fluid homeostasis and other indicators.
The sauna also has a positive therapeutic effect on women with gynecological diseases due to the activation of endogenous systems of the body. Usually such women we additionally recommend the intake of medicinal plants that have anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, analgesic, soothing, multivitamin and metabolic normalizing action.

Steam by all rules
According to the recommendations of doctors to visit the sauna, baths, before entering the steam room, it is necessary to stand for several minutes under a warm shower, so that the body warms up. Second, put a hat on your head or make a turban from a wet towel. The first approach to the steam room lasts 2-5 minutes, preferably without a broom. In the future, the duration of stay in the steam room is increased by 1-2 minutes, the total time can be increased to 10-15 minutes. Before each visit of the steam room, doctors recommend that women rest 20-30 minutes, turning into a sheet. In the interval between visits to the steam room, it is good to drink 100-150 ml of vitamin infusions from the following plants:

A broom is more expensive than money!
At the second approach to the steam room you can use a broom, which almost doubles the effect of the steam room. It is best to use a fresh birch broom, the steamed leaves of which exude a soothing aroma. You can use brooms from other plants: oak, coniferous, eucalyptus, nettle. The broom is steamed in hot water, but not very long, otherwise it will lose its healing properties and become heavier. It is better to use just two brooms, which gives a greater effect, for which you have to steam together. To soar it is necessary easily and naturally, begin with stops and further along the trunk they move to the head.
If there are any ailments (arthritis, lumbosacral radiculitis, myositis, etc.), apply brooms to the sore spots, using them as a kind of compress. If the sauna has a massage room, it will be useful to visit it for every woman, for the restorative effect of massage is undeniable. It is noted that after a bath people sleep better, they have an appetite, they feel better, work capacity increases. If you are unfamiliar with these signs, then you are doing something wrong, you need to reconsider the technique and time spent in the bath.
