Wellness effect of the bath

When visiting a bath, people are affected by physical factors such as temperature and humidity, and the range of these values ​​varies widely - from high temperatures and low humidity in the steam room and to high humidity and low water temperatures in the pool or in the cold shower. Such a range of variability of these physical factors provides a pronounced health-improving effect of the bath, expressed in a variety of physiological reactions of the body.

During bath procedures, the effect of temperature and humidity on a person can have different effects - both gentle and sparing, and stimulating or even intense, which activates the work of the basic systems of the organs of the body. Since bath procedures are considered available for almost any age and for people with different levels of physical fitness, it can be argued that almost everyone can feel the healing effects of physical factors when visiting the bath.

Improvement of well-being after taking bath procedures is due to several components. In general, the health effect, observed when the bath on the human body, has a complex character, since it consists of hygienic, hardening and therapeutic and preventive action. Each of these listed components can have multiple effects on the operation of various systems of our body organs, but the effect of these factors on this or that system may be due to joint influence. For example, water has the properties of a very good solvent for many substances, and due to this its effect on human exposure is in the cleaning and washing action. At the same time, water is a very good heat carrier, and when visiting a bath, it acts as an effective quenching agent. In addition, water compresses can also be used as health-improving analgesics. The listed effects of water exposure on the body are largely inherent in other health factors characteristic of bath procedures (for example, similar actions with similar response physiological reactions have hot air in the steam room).

The mechanism of the healing effect of the bath is mainly due to the combination of the use of sharp stimuli, which are high and low temperatures of air and water. The effect of these factors on the body begins with the action of hot water vapor and heated air in the paired compartment on the skin of the body. The high temperature in the steam room helps to open and cleanse all the pores on the surface, remove dirt and dead cells, provide favorable conditions for the development of new skin cells, prevent premature appearance of wrinkles on the skin of the face, retain elasticity, elasticity and shine of the skin. Wellness effect of the bath is also due to the fact that in the room of the paired compartment there are no pathogenic bacteria at all. The protective properties of the skin after the adoption of bath procedures also increase dramatically. The hot air of the pair separation causes many physiological processes to proceed at a higher rate. The health effect of exposure to heat is to improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system, to activate the circulatory system, to increase the supply of blood to the muscles, skin, joints, brain, lungs and all other organs and tissues.

Thus, the effect of the bath on the human body is expressed in a significant health effect. However, in the presence of serious deviations in health before visiting a bath about the advisability of taking all the bath procedures, it is still advisable to consult a doctor.
