How to prepare a broom for a bath
Without a broom, the bathhouse loses almost half of its “magic” qualities. Brooms are prepared in the summer, at a time when the leaves are dense and stick well to the twigs. To do this, cut branches that are close to the ground. They are strong, but not yet stiff. Raw materials for a bath broom should be young, healthy, resinous, with buds.
At first, the twigs wither a little in the shade. Then they are stripped of leaves by a quarter and tied with a rope or bast. The product, the length of which is from 40 to 70 cm, is dried in the shade.

In the bath, the broom is lightly rinsed and immersed in hot water. It is not advisable to dip the main bath tool in boiling water – you can spoil the leaves. Pour boiling water over and then steamed, covering with a basin, only old, dry brooms.
The effectiveness of paired procedures is increased by decoctions, infusions of medicinal, aromatic plants. They are splashed on hot stones. Freshly cut sprigs of pine, fir, juniper or sage are laid out on the shelves.
