Accessories for baths and saunas

Visiting a sauna or sauna, whether Russian , Finnish or Turkish , will only bring cleansing not only for the body, but for the soul, when all the accessories in them are picked up with intelligence and love. Agree, it is difficult to achieve complete relaxation, if the ladles and gangs burn their hands, the sunbeds leave splinters, and the broom disintegrates in the hands.

Accessories for baths made of wood

It's no secret that accessories for the bath can be made of different materials, but still most convenient are the traditional wood accessories tested for centuries. Their popularity is due to two important features: firstly, the tree has a sufficiently low thermal conductivity, which means it will not burn the body even at very high temperatures, and secondly, when heated, the wooden accessories start to release the oils contained in the wood, making it in the steam room not only pleasant, but also useful.

So, what accessories from the tree will be needed to visit the sauna or sauna:

1. A broom bound from thin birch, oak or lime rods. It would seem, which is easier - to tie together several rods cut from the tree they liked. But in fact, the art of knitting bamboo brooms conceals a lot of secrets. It is necessary not only to cut off branches of the correct length, but to be able to fix them correctly - even with the strongest blows the broom should not crumble. In addition, each tree has its own special properties and the broom for relaxation will be different from what is intended to raise the tone.
2. Before use, the broom must be properly steamed. Of course, you can use any suitable size for this purpose, but it is much more convenient to do this in a special steamer that has a lid with a slot under the handle of the broom.
3. Not to do without a bath and without a gang , from which you can pour yourself with water or use it to steam a broom. Gangs are usually made from cedar, oak or pine, which not only can preserve an excellent appearance for a long time, but also have medicinal properties.
4. It is useful in a bath and a wooden bucket . In it it is possible both to store a stock of water, and to use for contrasting douches. To do this, build an impromptu waterfall, fixing the bucket on the dais with a rope, thrown through a special block.
5. To at any time to add a couple in the bath should be a wooden scoop - a special scoop on a long handle. With the help of this scoop, water pours out onto the glowing stones, and a long handle helps protect the skin of the hands from possible burns.
6. It's no secret that the damp heat of steam rooms is not only for the person, but also for various microorganisms. To protect your body from invasion of uninvited guests, it is worth to acquire a personal wooden headrest and rug .
7. There is nothing more pleasant than drinking a strong tea or herbal decoction from a special wooden mug after a bath.

Accessories for a Turkish bath
