Anyone who gets to the sauna can steam, - says the Finnish proverb. During the "rampant" flu epidemic, this is especially important - it has been noticed that bath lovers catch a cold four times less often than others.
Bath heat is an effective means of cleansing our skin: in addition to clearing the pores, all the microbes that have gathered on it also die. The activity of the heart is stimulated, all metabolic processes are more active, blood circulation improves not only of the skin, but also of muscles, joints, spinal cord and brain, lungs.
The change of short-term exposure to intense heat to sudden cooling is a kind of gymnastics of blood vessels, respiratory organs, sweating. The body hardens and becomes less susceptible to weather fluctuations and colds.
The commendable word for a bathhouse - whether Russian or Finnish - can be sung for a long time, but it is worth paying attention to the existing contraindications. Alas, there are not so few of them.
First of all, once again it is necessary to understand for yourself: it is good to come to the bathhouse, protecting your body from colds, but if the disease is already progressing with might and main, the road there is temporarily ordered. While you are having the flu, you should not take risks and give your blood vessels and heart, already attacked by viruses, an extra load.
In addition, the dry steam of the sauna, which many consider to be light and safe, is not very useful for the lungs. Therefore, if you are prone to lung diseases, consult a doctor before going to the sauna. Sauna is also contraindicated in chronic inflammatory processes, mastopathy, oncological diseases, weak heart, high blood pressure.
As soon as the disease has gone away, you can safely go to the steam room. Of course, the use of preventive measures is only welcome. To do this, you need to take with you an aromatic oil, a drop of which, applied to the temples or on the base of the thumb, will ensure the prevention of colds and neuroses.
How often should I go to the sauna? No more than twice a week - excessive passion for the steam room can also lead to illnesses.
For the first time, you need to enter both the steam room and the sauna clean and dry (therefore, wash with soap and a washcloth, and then dry off and dry off). Protect your head with a special cap, as a last resort, you can wrap a towel, only dry.
Sauna lovers strictly ensure that the air in it remains dry. Therefore, if it is necessary to enter it a second or third time, after a shower and a pool, you must wipe yourself again. In the steam room, this rule can be ignored.
In order to better open and cleanse the pores of the skin, experts recommend rubbing yourself with a mixture of honey and fine salt before a steam room or sauna. If the skin is easily irritated, it is more advisable to limit yourself to honey only.
In addition to a well-brewed broom - birch, oak, with juniper branches (who likes what), steam from a decoction of medicinal herbs, which is splashed into the heater, helps to enhance the healing effect of the steam room. Infusions of eucalyptus, chamomile, plantain, St. John's wort, mint are good. However, the male population often makes do with beer - there is little benefit in such inhalation, but the spirit is pleasant.
With a high temperature, jokes are bad, and therefore it is better not to sit in the steam room and sauna, but to lie down. Even if it is cramped, try to sit down so as to raise your legs to body level. This will help to avoid circulatory disorders. It is impossible to overheat - red spots on the body indicate that the steam room was overdone. In this sense, a sauna is "more dangerous" than a steam room - it is easier to overheat in it, since dry heat is more easily tolerated than wet.
After a steam room and swimming in a cool pool or in the shower, it's time to relax and unwind. It is better to drink mineral water, herbal tea without sugar, fruit broth with honey, and in general, it is better only to drink warm water: when we sweat, the body loses a lot of salts along with water, and it would be good to make up for their shortage… Of course, there are many fans who like to take vodka and beer with them to the sauna.
