Hello Steemers! My name is Uliana.
Do you love bath so, like russian people do it?)
The baths do not wash - there are cleared. And not only the body but the soul. This sacred ritual rids the body of harmful toxins and head - from the negative thoughts.
From all over the world
About the beneficial psychological effect of the bath for a long time people guessed. No wonder the famous Roman baths resemble palaces or temples, rather than utilitarian facilities for washing bodies. In addition to the swimming pools at different temperatures for water and massage rooms, in the ancient Baths are rooms for physical training, games and even music.Almost every nation of the world has its own variety of baths.
In the Turkish bath (hammam), the temperature is about the same as in the sauna - 70-100 degrees. Before the pair to visit a special room where you can warm up inside were treated to fragrant Turkish coffee or tea. Sex in the sauna is heated to ensure uniform temperature throughout the room. Part of the Turkish bathhouse ceremony - soap foam massage, the effect of which is not inferior to the cosmetic peeling.
Japanese baths are group and individual. The first - sento - resemble large bath, in which a few people sitting at the same time. Second - ofuro - are large wooden barrels with very hot water. The barrel has a seat that allows a person to dive into the water at the neck. Since steam Japanese like it hot, sessions fairly short, took only 5 minutes.
Finnish sauna refers to dry air baths. Its feature is the combination of high temperature (below 100 degrees) with low humidity (10 to 25%). Breathe hot dry air in the sauna, for many people it is easier than to endure high humidity Russian baths (75-100%).
Bath on our way - wet, because the air in it is mixed with steam, and heat over moderate (45-60 degrees). Due to this, the sweat evaporation occurs more slowly. Therefore, even people better prepared to spend no more than 15 minutes in the steam room.
A traditional Russian sauna - a log house with a waiting room and steam room. Bathhouse "black" construction with a hole in the roof and the addition of the heated stone hearth on which you want to pour water, succumbing to the heat. Soot and grime in a bath is deposited on the walls of the sauna and on the shelves, so you can come out darker than it was before washed. To bathe "white" need-oven stove to the chimney and chimney. But the pleasure and the benefits can be obtained by visiting the city baths.
