Whipping the body with a broom increases blood circulation, promotes intense sweating and accelerates metabolism. The most durable and flexible brooms are considered to be made of birch, on young shoots and leaves of which there are a large number of essential oil glands.
Instructions
Step 1
Cut off the branches in the first half of June in dry weather, as the moist leaves will quickly darken when dried, curl and fly around. Wait until the dew has cleared and do not delay the process of collecting branches until the afternoon.
Step 2
Choose a weeping birch that has flexible branches that fall like braids, or a young tree with delicate leaves and long thin branches that has never bloomed. Examine the leaves carefully and run your tongue over them to make sure they have a velvety surface.
Step 3
Cut off the branches from the birch and tie them loosely so that they do not crumble. Hang the bundles so that the wind blows through them but out of direct sunlight. After a week, tie the dried brooms tightly and place them in a well-ventilated and dry area.
Step 4
Spread the brooms on the floor and turn them over each day to form a fan. Then lay them on top of each other and rearrange them periodically to achieve gradual flattening. Avoid overdrying brooms.
Step 5
Remove twigs and leaves from the ends of the branches. Form a broom: put thick branches inward, which will serve as a frame, and place thin branches around them with a bend inward. This will make the broom more dense. Squeeze the branches with one hand, and wrap them with twine with the other. Leave enough room for the handle to keep the broom from slipping out of your hands. Remove excess ends.
