Bath. Spiritual thick steam, the hiss of fragrant water splashed out of a ladle onto hot stones and a whipping broom that knocks all ailments out of the body. What could be more beautiful than a Russian bath? Is there any other way to regain the joy of being, physical and mental strength? However, bathing rituals are a potent medicine that should be taken in dosage and with extreme caution. This, first of all, concerns visiting a steam room and a boy with a broom.
It is necessary
- - broom;
- - water;
- - container for steaming.
Instructions
Step 1
Even before visiting the bath, you should take care of the broom. Choose a tight, flexible and not heavy broom with good, intact leaves - preferably birch or oak.
Step 2
The next step is steaming the broom. A fresh or recently dried broom is usually not steamed, but only rinsed with warm water before use. A dry broom, properly stored, is pre-rinsed in warm water, then placed in cold water for a couple of minutes. After two minutes, the cold water is replaced with warm water, in which the broom should lie down for five minutes. After five minutes, boiling water is added to warm water. The broom remains in the resulting very hot water for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you can steam. The infusion in which the broom was steamed is used to pour over the walls of the steam room and hot stones. This method of steaming is not suitable for coniferous brooms, which are used only fresh. Before entering the steam room, a pine broom is placed in a bucket of boiling water for a quarter of an hour and must be covered with a lid.
Step 3
Now it is the turn of the steam room. Better to steam together. One person is lying, the other is hovering. The guy's technology consists of several stages. On the first, the one who will be soaring is laid on the shelves, trying to relax as much as possible. The initial position is on the stomach, face down.
Step 4
The partner takes pre-steamed brooms in both hands and begins to smoothly smooth the body of the person lying down with them. Brooms slide from the head itself along the back, lower back, buttocks, legs - to the heels. Reverse movement of brooms - along the lateral parts of the body: one broom strokes the right side, the other - the left. This complex of strokes must be repeated 2-3 times.
Step 5
Next, the brooms must be lifted up, trying to capture the hot steam that has risen with them, and lowered onto the lower back, pressing for a couple of seconds. Then the same action is done with the area of the shoulder blades, and then the knee joints. The whole complex is performed 3-4 times.
Step 6
The next stage - lightly stitching the ends of the brooms of the hips, waist, back, legs of the lying person. Fastening is performed for 1 minute. After that, the lying person should roll over onto his back, and his partner should continue the series of strokes on the front surface of the body.
Step 7
Further, the lying person again lies on his stomach, and the partner proceeds to whipping. To do this, he lifts the broom up, trying to capture hot air, then lowers it onto the latissimus muscles of the lying person's back. After 2-3 whips, the broom is pressed against the treated muscles for 1-2 seconds (compress). The same procedure is performed on the gluteal muscles, lumbar muscles, calf muscles, thighs, and feet. It is impossible to handle the popliteal fossa with a broom.
Step 8
The next step is stretching. Brooms are placed on the lower back of the person lying, and then spread from to the sides: one broom slides over the body in the direction of the head, the second in the direction of the feet. Outwardly, this technique looks as if the person standing is trying to stretch the body of the person lying down.
Step 9
The final stage is a light, soothing stroking of the body with brooms. In addition to it, you can apply rubbing of the body and legs with the wide part of the broom. This will enhance the effect of the guy. The body is rubbed in any direction, the limbs - along.
