Today, the procedure of Sharko's shower is very popular, but very few people know that the creator of this technique of healing was the outstanding physician, the teacher of Sigmund Freud - Jean Martine Charcot.
This man studied various diseases and was looking for a universal way of treating them, and this is how the procedure appeared that today helps many women not only lose excess pounds, tone their skin and vessels, but also get rid of cellulite and other diseases.
Charcot's shower: indications and contraindications
This procedure, like all the rest, has a number of indications and contraindications. First of all, it has a positive effect on blood circulation, and therefore Charcot's shower helps to get rid of cellulite. This also contributes to the strengthening of immunity and accelerates recovery after the stresses experienced. It is indicated to people who suffer from arthritis, rheumatism and general muscle weakness.
If the purpose of the procedure is to get rid of excess weight, then it must necessarily be combined with a low-calorie diet: so the process of losing weight will pass faster.
Along with this, there are a number of limitations for carrying out this procedure: people with varicose veins should carefully use the shower of Charcot, tk. strong water pressure and accelerated blood circulation can lead to complications.
If a person has cardiac pathologies, high fever, hypertension, kidney disease, tumors (including benign), tuberculosis or peptic ulcer, Charcot's douche can not be used. Also, the procedure is banned for pregnant women, because its essence is in creating a stressful situation for the body, during which the mobilization of forces takes place and the body begins to actively fight diseases. That is why it is better to do Sharko's shower sessions in the summer and spring months, when the body is not exposed to additional climatic stresses.
Where does Charcot make a shower?
Initially, this is a medical procedure, so it is carried out in a polyclinic. Nevertheless, today there are many SPA-salons in which this service is provided. Another version of the Charcot shower is at home, but, of course, this is a simpler version in comparison with the classic example.
Features of Charcot's soul in the polyclinic
Charcot's douche is hydrotherapy of a "shock type". Its impact is based on two parameters: first, on the temperature difference (cold and hot), and secondly, the strong pressure of fresh water.
The patient is at the wall next to the handrails, for which he must hold. At a distance of 3-3.5 m from him stands a specialist who changes the direction and strength of the water jet. First, the problematic place is treated with a fan jet, then the mode of a unidirectional jet with a pressure of about 4 atmospheres is switched on, which is sent throughout the body, except the face and neck.
Also, the temperature of the water is also changed: first, hot and then cold. This helps the vessels to expand and narrow, which can be called a kind of "charging" for them. Charcot's shower perfectly removes nervous tension and promotes the regeneration of cells in the body.
By the time each session is increased, and so it goes up to 5 minutes.
How to make Charcot's shower at home?
Charcot's home douche, of course, is inferior in effectiveness to that which is carried out in polyclinics and SPA-centers. But, nevertheless, there is a mini-analog that can be used at home, if there is no possibility to visit specialized institutions every day. One of the options - Alexeyev's shower - is a nozzle that allows you to create pressure up to 6 atmospheres. But to change the temperature and calculate the pressure level, and also to count the time in this case, you need to independently, and therefore you need to remember that inept use of this technique of recovery can lead to colds, bruises and micro-injuries.
What is the use of Charcot's shower?
The benefit of Charcot's soul is mainly that internal procedures are gently massaged with this procedure, and due to a sharp change in temperature, blood flows to them, and therefore, health improvement is noticed not only by external signs (weight loss, cellulite disappearance, skin turgor ), but also internal (work of internal organs is adjusted, the vitality is improved, behavior and responses to stimuli are corrected).
Together with this, it must be remembered that Charcot's douche is an effective medical procedure that can both improve the condition and worsen if it is misconstrued.
