You are in luck if you know how to enjoy a bathhouse.

It often happens that the first trip to the bathhouse turns out to be the last.

For example, as young men we went with the guys to steam off. We started showing off who could outlast whom. I got overheated, burned myself, understood nothing, and for the next 30 years you walk past the bathhouse a kilometer away.

Or in childhood a wrestling coach makes a team of little kids steam. He doesn't let anyone out of the steam room until the time is up, and then everyone rushes out like a bullet to the shower. Pure stress. Some fathers are like that too. Sorry for the boys.

A bathhouse is an individual act, almost like a church.

You have to know how to steam with pleasure.

First a short shower, to wash off the swagger, get in the mood. Then the steam room. The first round is the most pleasant. You can sit in the first round for a long time, since the body isn't warmed up yet, not relaxed, and actively resists the temperature.

You sit in a cap, listening to your body. Notice everything around. Too dry or too damp - wrong. Breathing should be easy. Don't overstay, don't compete, the slightest discomfort of the body - get out. But distinguish body discomfort from panic. Panic, you'll get out early - you'll understand nothing. You need to get out when the body is well warmed up.

Now the shower. Gradually move from hot water to cool. The stream should be strong. A big plus of a public bathhouse is that you can choose a shower cabin with a strong stream. Move from cabin to cabin, look for maximum pressure, it will come in handy soon.

You've cooled off more or less and back into the steam room. This is still the first round, the second series. Here you must wait for profuse sweat, it should drip from you. Again to the shower. Set the strongest cool stream, but so as not to freeze. Now a water massage of the face, palms, belly. Put your palms, your fingertips under the stream, until tingling. With the face - the most pleasant. The stream strongly massages the nose, lips, forehead, closed eyes. Everything until tingling! Bliss!

Back into the steam room - the third series of the first round. Warm up.

If the bathhouse is common, then get into the rhythm of the bulk of the bathers. If the steamers are being fierce that day, making boiling water from the air, then work in countermotion. Everyone has left, you went in.

That's it, rest. Rinsed off and to the dressing room. Wrap yourself up to the head in a sheet, meditate. You must rest. The body should completely calm down and almost completely dry out.

After rest, before the second round, it's best to soap yourself, wash with a stiff loofah.

The second round. How many series to do, two or three, decide by how you feel. In the shower, again the water massage.

During the rest after the second round you can start drinking tea. A hot drink is better than a cold one. Sweet tea goes well with something salty, for example, fish. You can't drink a lot, steaming will be uncomfortable. Drink about a third of the thermos during the second rest, and the rest after all the procedures.

The third round. Shower. Dressing room. Rest. Tea. Enjoy your steam!

Hooray, work tomorrow!
