The benefits of the bath are undeniable, including cleansing the body of toxins, relaxing muscles and toning. And for women, this is also a welcome rejuvenation, a way to tighten the skin, making it softer and cleaner. When you have your own bathhouse, everything is simple: you go and take a steam bath, but if you are planning a bathhouse trip with a group, then the girl cannot do without a list of what to take. Much depends on the country in which you plan to take a steam bath. For example, in German saunas it is not customary to wear a towel, much less a swimsuit, but in order to dive steamed into the pool, you will need one. In addition, in good bath complexes they always provide clients with the things necessary for relaxation, so it is better to find out in advance about the conditions in order to understand what you need to take to the bathhouse and not take too much with you.
What to take to the bathhouse
An important question that people ask when going to the steam room for the first time is, what should they wear to the bathhouse? Wrap yourself in a sheet, towel or put on a robe? What else could you need in a steam room?
The benefits of a bath: how to steam properly
Headdress
Since the temperature in the steam room can reach up to 80°C, you must have a bath hat on your head. Therefore, it will prevent overheating of the head and protect the hair from excessive drying and damage. The hat can be:
- cotton, protects the parietal part of the head from overheating, and the hair from drying out.
- felt , in which you can be the director or head of the bathhouse, or choose another role. Such a hat protects your hair and eyes (if you are wearing lenses, but it is better to remove the latter before going to the steam room), and helps to avoid overheating.
- linen
- felt , is the softest and most delicate version of a headdress for a bath, but it is more a feminine material than a masculine one
A hat is required, especially if you plan to carry out bath procedures while sitting
. What to take to the bath, a felt hat, or a knitted or woolen one will do, as an ersatz option. Our opinion is that felt is preferable and much more convenient. You should not neglect the hat, especially when the shelf space involves taking procedures while sitting. It is in this situation that the ankles are in the coldest temperature environment, and the most vulnerable part of the head is in the hottest. Some adepts of hard steam use felt mittens as an addition to their hats. But they serve, rather, to protect hands in extremely hot environments from damage from hard parts of the broom handle. Let's just say this accessory is for an advanced amateur.

Towel
What to take with you to the sauna for drying? For full use, you need to have one large terry towel with thick pile and one smaller one. The first is necessary as bedding while in a steam room. In Germany, instead of a towel, a sheet made of linen, less often made of cotton, is used. Let us immediately note that you cannot use a sheet or towel for drying, since it actively absorbs and absorbs the sweat that is released profusely during steam procedures. The second wiping towel is used when the body is washed in the shower and the main sweat and fat secretions are washed away with water.

Washcloth
The essential thing you need when going to the bathhouse is a washcloth. The skin in the bath is steamed and dead cells are peeled off. In this case, you need to help your skin get rid of excess. Removing dirt from the body with a washcloth simultaneously creates a massage effect, while improving blood circulation in the skin. Since the skin is steamed in the steam room, it becomes very sensitive to external irritants. Therefore, it is very important that only natural materials touch it at this time. You should not forget about this and, if possible, you should take items made only from natural ingredients to the bathhouse.
It is preferable to choose washcloths from natural materials
This requirement also applies to the washcloth. It can be made of loofah, sisal, bast. These materials are quite hard, so they cleanse the skin very well. A natural sea sponge is suitable for children. It is softer and will not damage delicate baby skin. A sisal washcloth improves blood circulation, perfectly removes “pellets” from the skin and gets rid of cellulite. All the benefits of the steam room will come to naught if dead skin residues, dirt and sweat are not removed from the body. Simply soak a washcloth in water and gently wipe the skin, paying special attention to “problem” areas.
Infrared sauna: benefits and harm
Women should not use a washcloth in places where the skin is delicate: after a bath it is especially sensitive, so it can harm the body. A washcloth made from a konjac tuber is ideal: it provides gentle exfoliation without damaging the skin.
Banya broom
What do you take to the sauna, in the bare minimum? Of course, a broom. It has many purposes: According to the old Russian Finnish and South German tradition, a broom is used to take part of the “steam cake” from the ceiling and direct it down to the shelves. Therefore, the correct broom should have the shape of a fan, not a broom. In the northern German states and in public baths in Germany, this function of a broom is performed by a thick linen towel. They believe that they can collect and distribute steam better and more evenly.
Initially, brooms were used by the Slavs, and then by the Finns.
A broom is an indispensable tool for phytomassage. First, they independently warm themselves up with light grooming, and during the second entry into the steam room, the soaring person takes over, actively but judiciously treating the entire body, from the heels to the back of the neck - the back of the neck, in the apt expression of the bathhouse. The broom is used for Karelian massage. This is when the ribbed handle of a broom is used as a kind of massage roller. The science is not very sophisticated, but it has a lot of nuances. For example, the handle of a broom should be decorated with either linen twine or a soaked birch rod. What you can’t go to the bathhouse with is a broom tied with metal wire.
A good broom should lose a maximum of two leaves during the entire soaring procedure. In Finland, for example, they don’t use a broom a second time. In our country, this option is allowed, although, in our opinion, it is wrong. But if you decide to reuse the broom, then until the second trip you need to store it in the refrigerator, at a temperature of 2 - 4 degrees Celsius.
Shower in the bath
A little history
The history of the bath broom begins when people decided to use steam and heated stones to cleanse their bodies of dirt and negative energy. Residents of Japan, Finland, Turkey, and Australia undergo this procedure. Even the Indians in America regularly visited the bathhouse and created special huts from medicinal plants to cleanse the body. Therefore, brooms were not always relevant. The Indians successfully carried out the procedure without using brooms, because there was no need for it. Hot steam affected the branches of medicinal plants, which led to the release of useful substances. High-quality steam rooms first appeared in Rome, but there is a version that it was originally an Etruscan idea. But the Romans began to share their knowledge, which led to the emergence of steam rooms all over the world - from England to Tunisia. The Romans strongly heated the floor and poured water with essential oils onto it, thanks to which the air was saturated with useful microelements.

The tradition of using brooms appeared when they tried to raise hot steam from the bottom to the top, so the right broom should have the shape of a fan, not a broom
Then the Roman provinces were conquered, and the tradition of taking a bath passed to the Arabs. But they changed the name, so the traditional hammam steam rooms appeared. Then this method of washing passed on to the Turks. Nowadays the Turkish bath is known all over the world, but for us it is exotic. Also, among exotic species, one cannot help but o. This is a Japanese bathhouse that can give you hot sensations in the literal sense. A person is slowly boiled in a vat of water, which can cause enormous damage to the body. Therefore, only strong men visited “ofuro”, who underwent long training in order to be able to withstand the enormous temperature of the water well.
The Slavs began to use brooms, and after them the Finns. But the Finnish version has always been simplified. They prefer a steam room with dry air, so construction was possible even in high-rise buildings. Due to the ease of formation, it began to appear throughout the country.

Bath slippers
In your own individual bathhouse, in which there is no one except you and your family members, and the floors are insulated according to all the rules of construction craftsmanship, you can do without them. However, in public baths, this is a necessary item of personal hygiene. The humid and warm microclimate of the bathhouse is a very favorable environment for the development of pathogenic microflora, so the risk of infection with fungal diseases of the feet increases many times over. The optimal choice should be considered products with a semi-closed toe and an open heel, made of silicone. This material is hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly, can easily withstand heating up to temperatures of 120 degrees Celsius, without signs of deformation or destruction. Silicone is moisture-resistant, easy to mold, resulting in excellent products that take into account the orthopedic features of the structure of the foot, both an adult and a child. Natural silicone does not slip on surfaces, including ceramic ones.
Like all bath clothes, slippers should be made from natural materials
Naturally, the qualities listed above refer to high-quality branded shoes, and the poor crafts of the Chinese industry do not apply to it. Little pleasant can be said about domestic products, which, upon closer examination, turn out to be remade “Chinese”, with just their chemical smell strongly reminiscent of Rezintrest galoshes of the 1957 model. Slippers, like all clothes for a bath, must be made of natural materials. Many people find it unhygienic to use shoes provided in the bathhouse for fear of becoming infected with fungus, so it is better to take your own slippers or disinfect your feet before and after the bathhouse with Miramistin or another similar substance.

Extreme temperature changes
Since today we are talking about how to properly steam in a bathhouse for the health of the body, we must definitely talk about the favorite entertainment of the Russian people. This means diving into an ice hole, wiping yourself down with snow, and at worst, you can pour ice water on yourself from the gang. But! We must remember that this is a lot of stress for the body, so if you have just recently started going to the steam room, you should not test your strength. Start by swimming in the pool; the water in it is usually just cool. Gradually lower the temperature of the water used for contrast procedures. Hardening is a process that is designed to be beneficial, so approach it wisely.
Care
Honey
A bathhouse is, first of all, a healing of the soul and body, so it is important, after steaming the skin, to care for it properly. The products should contain natural ingredients; you can also use old proven beauty recipes. When visiting a bathhouse, you can combine business with pleasure: take a steam bath and take care of your skin. In the steam room, the skin pores expand, so any beneficial mixtures applied to the skin are easily absorbed. You can use honey. It should be rubbed over the skin with massage movements. After this procedure, the skin becomes smooth and elastic, and gets rid of toxins. Honey also has an anti-cellulite effect and has a calming effect on the nervous system.
Scrubs
To cleanse the skin in the steam room, you can use scrubs. There is also plenty of this goodness on the market. But if you profess the principle: inexpensive and natural, then you can successfully use coffee grounds as a scrub, according to the classic recipe for use. What else should you take to the sauna as a scrub? The choice is very large and the question is rather a matter of personal preference and purely individual characteristics of the body. Crushed nuts with olive oil and sea salt can also play their role. It is necessary to plan in advance what to take with you to the sauna, otherwise something will be forgotten.
Salt
Using salt, you can cleanse the skin and remove the dead layer of the epidermis. It also enhances metabolic processes in the skin and has a rejuvenating effect. Salt is also used for salt inhalations and wraps. In this regard, the choice of the modern market is wide and vast. Both Himalayan salt and sea salt are presented, of various colors, textures, chemical composition and origin. For the first time, it is better, of course, to test an unknown sample in an extremely small volume, and then go to the normal consumption rate.
Bath salts are available on the market in a wide range
Oils
The oil can be in the form of vegetable fat, for example, unrefined virgin olive oil, for oil massage sessions. May be essential oil. Which, in essence, is a volatile aromatic hydrocarbon used for inhalation in the treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases and increasing the tone and immunity of the body as a whole. What experienced women take with them to the bathhouse is citrus essential oil. It improves your mood if you dissolve it in water and splash it on the stove stones. And it also effectively fights cellulite. But here, in addition to oil, you need a good experienced massage therapist who will conduct an anti-cellulite massage session using this product.

Beverages
What to take to the bathhouse to quench your thirst? The choice is large and good:
- Herbal teas from: raspberry leaves and berries, rose hips, linden blossom and other riches of the native land;
- Black and green tea from the riches of the overseas region;
- Kvass made according to the classic recipe, based on black bread and malt;
- Fruit drinks, juices, drinks based on bee honey;
- Mineral still water;
- It has been experimentally established that:
- bathhouse and alcohol are incompatible things;
- Coffee and other tonic drinks are contraindicated in the steam room;
- Hot drinks quench thirst more effectively than cold drinks.
While in a bathhouse, a hot drink quenches thirst more effectively than a cold drink
During steaming, the body, in addition to toxins and waste, also loses a large amount of liquid. To make up for these losses, you need to take a thermos with green tea or herbal infusion. This drink can not only quench your thirst, but also give you energy for the whole day.
Forget about beer
Few people think about whether it is possible to drink beer in a bathhouse. Most people simply try to purchase as much of this drink as possible in order to drink it before and after visiting the steam room, but this is unacceptable! Yes, beer quenches thirst well, but for a short time, while overloading the kidneys and heart, which already work in extreme mode in the steam room. The fact is that bath procedures affect our body no worse than prolonged physical activity - under such conditions, alcohol, entering the circulatory system, sharply expands the blood vessels, and then narrows them no less sharply. The more beer you load your body with, the stronger this effect will be. When taking even the weakest alcohol in a bathhouse, the possibility of arrhythmia, heart attacks and strokes increases many times over. Don’t risk your health, because you came to the bathhouse to strengthen it, not to destroy it.
How to refuse competently so as not to offend your gentleman?
Use my win-win PDA technique (compliment-program-compliment):
- Praise him for his frank and bold proposal.
- Then set the boundaries of what is permitted (program): gently explain that you are not yet ready for such dates.
- Then compliment again. Just remember that at the initial stage you should not admire his external data. Compliment only the qualities of a man.
A simple example: “Darling, you are so original! Your proposal is very bold, I’m even a little confused. And I’m not ready for such close communication yet. I'm sure you will understand me correctly. After all, you are so attentive."
I think you get the point perfectly.
