High temperature speeds up metabolism and beneficial effect on the skin, kills bacteria and fungi. Since then the body is cleansed of toxins and wastes. Bath - a whole philosophy. There are national, "bathing" traditions that allow you to judge the nation that spawned them, and the climate in which this people had a chance to live. But whether it's Roman baths, Turkish "hammams, saunas or our Russian baths, they have one goal - to heat air and steam, and sometimes the water and make steam as possible," easy ". "Lightweight pairs - not just catch phrase, but also a term denoting the maximum dissociated steam water droplets which are as small as possible volume. Ideal - a mixture of air and water at the molecular level. As well extracted "light steam" our ancestors? Russian bath first mention of the Russian banya is a 9.10 Ages, when it was called mov, foam or vlaznya. Represented in a log house with a moss zakonopachennymi slits and been heated "in the black." This means that the oven-stove, which stood directly in the steam room was not equipped with a chimney. All the smoke stayed in the room, walls covered with black soot. Still remain in our country, followers of the "black" baths, and it is not just a whim, doctors confirmed that the smoke contains a special antiseptic substances that destroy bacteria and germs. Water in the Russian bath heated, throwing stones heated in a furnace in a barrel with water, and later learned how to mount the heater cast iron boiler. Banya in Russia has always been multifunctional. It also washed and dried clothes and supplies for the winter. Moreover, the Russian bath reflects the mentality of our people. Here people are not just sitting or lying down. All the time he consciously acts. Give in pairs, lower steam, relax, take a steam broom, wind, dry - this is not a complete list of actions that a man does in the steam room. All that you need to know and be able to, so Russian bath requires more time and mind, and most importantly - the soul. If nothing is done - will be damp and cold. This is not a lack! This is such a national feature. Real Russian bathhouse requires approximately equal values ??of temperature and humidity - approximately 65 to 65. Such a combination is best for the Russian broom - it does not dry, and for a man - the moist air is considered less aggressive environment than the hot dry. Achieve at such a low temperature light steam rather difficult, with water pouring on the open rocks. And if the stones are heated in addition - in proportion to rise and the room temperature, and desired effect is reached again. The secret of a real Russian oven-stove that heat it is not directed at the outside and inside. Because of this, inside the furnace stones are heated to 700-800 degrees. Naturally, when in contact with water heated stones emit a very small and light steam almost immediately rises to the ceiling. We can say that the furnace-stove was an ancient analogue of modern humidifiers and heat guns. At a time when the main enemy of the man was still not himself, but an aggressive environment, especially in Russia, with its gentle climate, oh no, heat was equivalent to life. Not surprisingly, the bath has a special role in many ceremonies. For example, it was necessary to have a sauna before the wedding and the day after the wedding, and this was accompanied by a ceremonial visit. Banny - Saturday - a day in Russia was untouchable. Did not work even prisutstvennye institutions, from small to large, from peasant to the prince: this day all soared. The Finnish sauna is well known that the higher the indoor humidity, the harder it withstand high temperatures. The specific combination of these two characteristics of each nation to choose its liking. Closest to Russia, and geographically, and by the "bath" tastes were and remain with their Finnish saunas. As well as Russian, Finns started with bath in a black, but unlike our ancestors, they preferred more heat and pour less water. In the Finnish sauna temperatures can reach a hundred, or even one hundred and forty degrees. But the relative humidity does not exceed 5-10%. Russian broom in such conditions and dries quickly crumble. Russian bath-house is not ventilated, it aired the whole - especially as heat safely hidden inside the oven, it will not hurt. But for the Finnish sauna is a full airing would be perilous, but is in such overheated room without fresh air is almost impossible. Thus, in the Finnish sauna the prototype of modern ventilation and exhaust systems. Turkish Bath "Hamam" (hammam), hot and stuffy Asia has become home to a cool bath or wet. The temperature in them is supported by about 30-40 degrees, but the relative humidity can reach 100 percent. It is clear that to create a light steam at such a low temperature directly in the steam room is not possible, so eastern "hammam", also called the "Turkish" bath, has demanded the development of the steam generators and delivery systems, hot humid air. Contribute to the maintenance of light and a pair of well-heated marble floors and walls. Turkish bath, according to its proponents, this cleansing is not only bodily, but spiritual, more than that - with God. Mass distribution hammams received after the Prophet Mohammed announced that the heat increases fertility and, consequently, the number of devotees of Islam. Turkish baths are a history from antiquity, and in particular - from the Roman baths. They are borrowed and design, and luxury, and a system of pools with water of different temperatures. But, unlike the Roman baths, in the eastern bath completely lacking any entertainment. The only thing for it not only acceptable but necessary - this massage. Japanese bath 'ofuro "Probably most of our ideas about the baths are distinguished Japanese ofuro. There were no hot steam, or brooms. "Bed Bath" Japanese model is a large wooden barrel filled with water heated to 45-50 °. For convenience, in a barrel to set a custom seat, giving the opportunity to take proceedings in half-lying position so that the lower part of the body (the heart) was in the water, and the upper enjoyed only water vapor. The Japanese consider their baths the same age of Buddhism. Thus, we can speak of the emergence in Japan of water heating appliances is almost 26 centuries ago. In many ways, and the appearance of their Japanese bath is obliged to Buddhism - the believer could not afford soap, or fur, because their production required the killing of animals. Needs of the body warm and clean and has been designed to meet the domestic bath. Bask in ofuro about 4-5 minutes. And then wiped dry and wrapped in a bathrobe and resting on the couch. There is another kind of ofuro - sawdust Bath. Pine sawdust mixed with chopped wood, foliage, medicinal and aromatic herbs (60 species). The mixture was placed on a special bed and heated to about 60 degrees. This fragrant mass and submerged to the neck people.
