"Whoever steams himself does not age": 5 bathhouse tips that will be useful to anyone
18.01.2025 18:15
There are several life hacks that are recommended by both seasoned bathhouse attendants and experienced bathhouse attendants.
They will complement one well-known rule, the “bathhouse” rule: “Keep your head cool, your feet warm, and your stomach hungry.”
It's better to lie down than to sit
It is better to steam while lying down. And it is recommended to put old birch or oak twigs under your head.
They can no longer be used for their intended purpose, but they emit an amazing aroma that is pleasant and beneficial to inhale.
Anti-dandruff remedy
There is one folk remedy that helps get rid of dandruff.
An hour before going to the bathhouse, lubricate your head with sunflower or burdock oil.
You can add linden blossom to the water used to wash your hair.
Just not kvass
Experienced bath attendants advise drinking water or tea after the bath.
You can add lemon or orange juice, honey or dried fruits to the water. But it is better to avoid kvass or beer.
Scrub bag
For many, a bathhouse is primarily associated with birch or oak brooms.
But in fact, the “arsenal” for bath procedures is much wider.
An example are special scrub bags that are filled with natural herbs (St. John's wort, chamomile, yarrow, etc.).
The bag itself cleanses the skin, and the herbs disinfect and nourish it.
Essential oil
This is a popular life hack, but in some cases it is harmful. Experienced bath attendants do not recommend pouring water with essential oil on the stones.
It does not dissolve. When it hits hot stones, the oil begins to release carcinogens into the air.
It is better to treat wooden shelves, stove lining or other surfaces that do not get too hot with essential oil.
