Safe dive
But first – a few simple recommendations to water procedures went for good, not harm. The healing properties of the bath largely depend on its temperature. Cool water in the range of 20-35°C has a tonic effect, hot water up to 42°C increases sweating and cleanses the pores. The most important principle is not to lie in the water for a long time. This is the only way to show the benefits of natural baths: the blood vessels expand, the body completely relaxes, the nervous tension goes away, and with it-all the accumulated negativity. If you delay the procedure for more than half an hour, the load on the heart will increase, dizziness and other unpleasant sensations will appear.
Lying still in the water is also not worth it. To achieve the maximum effect, you need to change the position more often, and even better-do a relaxing self-massage with your hands or a hard washcloth. For the elbows and heels, where the skin is particularly rough, you can use pumice stone. After the bath, it is recommended to wash with warm water, thoroughly rub the body with a terry towel and apply cosmetic milk or cream on it.
We dissolve the extra pounds
The most popular are baths for weight loss. What are natural baths made of for these purposes? From ingredients that are found in every home or free sale. With frequent use, the lime bath gives noticeable results. For it, you will need a fake fee, which is available in any pharmacy. We insist a few bags of dry leaves in a liter of water for 40 minutes and add it to a hot bath.
Soda and salt baths for weight loss are rapidly gaining popularity. To begin with, mix 200 g of baking soda and 300 g of sea salt, then pour them into a warm bath and stir. Taking it for longer than 10 minutes is not recommended, and it is also advisable not to eat or drink anything for an hour before and after the procedure.
One of the best is considered a bran bath. First, 1 kg of bran is brewed in two liters of milk with the addition of a spoonful of honey, after which the mixture is poured into water. This bath helps to reduce weight, tightens the skin, makes it smooth and beautiful.
According to the precepts of Cleopatra
Many people prefer homemade natural milk-based baths. After all, as the legend says, Cleopatra often bathed in milk to maintain her irresistible beauty. There are many variations of recipes. In a liter of heated milk, 100 g of honey is dissolved, and while it cools, a mixture of 100 g of salt and 100 g of sour cream is rubbed into the body. After 20-25 minutes, the mask is washed off and a milk-honey bath is taken.
A multi-faceted effect is provided by a milk bath with citrus fruits. First, a liter of boiled milk is poured into warm water, and then slices of oranges, lemons and grapefruits are poured there along with the peel. By the way, while taking a bath, they can massage rough and dull areas of the skin. This procedure has a beneficial effect on the skin, helps to get rid of cellulite, calms the nerves well and lifts the mood.
Wonderful ingredients for natural milk baths are various aromatic oils. They help to completely relax the body and fall asleep with a strong healthy sleep. To prepare such a bath, together with a liter of milk, a few drops of lavender, lemon balm and jasmine oils are added to the bath.
In the arms of tender herbs
Do not forget about the various herbs, because many of them have a complex healing effect and effectively cleanse the body of harmful substances.
So, to prepare a bath with natural ingredients will help raspberries and the already mentioned linden. Collect a mixture of dried leaves, flowers and buds of linden, add to them the leaves of a raspberry shrub. The total weight of the mixture should be at least 300 g. We insist it in five liters of water for 30 minutes and pour it into the bath. Such a bath will help to remove excess salt and fluid from the body.
A more complex preparation can be made from leaves, young stems and birch sap. This mixture is poured with three liters of water, brought to a boil, filtered and added to the bath. After this procedure, blood circulation improves and the water-salt balance is adjusted.
Oregano is also perfect for a home bath. Pour 400 g of dry grass with five liters of water, bring to a boil and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Then you can pour the broth into a bath with warm water. This recipe will help to cleanse the body of harmful substances and normalize metabolic processes.
