Cute tips for Unforgettable Experience in Sauna or Steam Bath

Here are some cute tips for awasome bathing experience
in sauna or steam bath or when soaking in tubs or pools:

1.Put flowers, herbs or tree leafy branches on the floor. It will add special pleasant scent and exotic pleasant entourage. When you put herbs or tree leafy branches (better to use Birch twigs, Oak twigs or Eucalyptus twigs) it will massage your feet. Such feet massage (similar to walking upon beach sand) is pleasant and good for your overall health as numeral studies prove it. For such purposes you can use several twigs from a Ziger bunch of green twigs called ‘Venik’ in Russian steam bath or ‘Vihta’ in Finnish.

Practice this bold feet massage with naked feet in residential sauna, steamroom or bathroom only. Large public bath houses are not suitable for such purpose because of personal hygiene concerns unless you decide to rent a separate saunaroom or steam room, come up as a first client (in morning), have requested special cleaning services (to clean the floor beforehand) or put your personal wood floor rug. In case of large saunaroom (or steamroom) you may wish to put several wood rugs to ensure the entire floor satisfy your personal hygiene concern.

2.Before bathing you can put honey and salt on your skin and massage it slightly. It will increase the cleansing and sweating (calories burning) effect from your sauna or steam bath experience. Natural honey has been famous for ages for its health-improving properties and skin-improving effects. Using honey during sauna or steam bath experience multiplies its positive effects, because skin pores open and skin becomes more receptive.

3.For better health-improving results after hot steam try to cool yourself by plunging in cool or even cold water in plunge tubs. Change in tempreture strengtherns the immune system of the body and prevents from catching cold. Have you known that such sauna experience contributed to the Victory of the Russian Army against famous Napoleon?

Napoleon’s soldiers started to catch cold while Russian soldiers were fine in cold winter. Yes, these were their long-living habits to sauna bath and then plunge in cold water. It contributed winners to succeed while the French were unfamiliar with such sauna or bathing practice.

When you are an experienced bather and like extreme or exotic experiences, massage yourself with snow after a ‘hot steam’ session. It will be an intriguing unforgetable experience! You will not catch cold when you sauna bath correctly. Try to strengthen your immune system and health gradually. Start with small change in tempretures by plunging in slightly-cooler-than-warm water after ‘hot steam’ sauna session. Gradually increase the coldness of plunge water over several months.

For beginners, ladies who care about better skin or just to receive nice experience it is a good idea to massage your skin (especially face, neck and hands) with ice pieces. Face, neck and hands are more tempreture-change resistant. Later you can try to massage with ice pieces other parts of body after a ‘hot steam’ sauna session. It is good for health and provide unforgettable feelings! For better results you may wish to prepare ice pieces from natural juice, tea or green tea (no sweeteners, please), milk or water with honey. Just pour juice, tea, milk or distilled water with several drops of honey into ice container and freeze it for several hours.

4.When bathing in plunge or bath tubs after washing you may wish to take special skin-improving baths. You may wish to:
-put salt into water of your bath or plunge tub (please see producer instructions for detail),
-put herbs into water of your bath or plunge tub,
-put 1 glass of milk (250 ml) into water of your bath or plunge tub.

The latter is especially popular among women and young women as special beauty secret recipe! It was practiced by well-known Cleopatra Queen. She was famous for her beauty and power over men.
Instead of herbs (which are good for health, but time-consuming) you may wish to add to plunge water or bath water ready-to-use fragrance essential oils or fragrance essences (flavors). They are made from herbs or tree leaves and contain health-improving properties accompanied with pleasant scents. For example, Ziger fragrance essence made from leaves of Spearmint, Silver fir, Eucalyptus or Pine.

5.You may wish to add beer, ‘kvass’, honey, herbs, essential oils or fragrance essences (flavors) to the water that you pour upon the heater stones. It is called ‘loyly’ water in Finnish sauna. Such ‘addings’ or flavors will provide the saunaroom or steamroom with pleasant scents and health-improving steam coming from the heater. Honey, herbs or essences made from herbs (for example, Ziger Spearmint) are especially good for health benefits.

When you sauna bath or steam bath you can experience various cooling options:
- plunging in cooler or cold water in a plunge tub,
- pouring cooler or cold water that was stored in a wood bucket or vat with a wood scoop or water pouring device,
- going into a room or outdoor with cooler air and massage the body with snow or ice pieces,
- taking cool shower.

Plunging or pouring cool water with a sauna scoop or special device makes it possible to prepare special water with flavors and essences (honey, herbs, fragrance essences, essential oils & aromas). Such water provide your body and skin with extra benefits. With a shower, it's a bit faster, but you do not have this special water choice.

It is also a good idea to put some roses petals in the bathing water when you wish
to see some pleasant unforgettable environment around. They will add the pleasant aroma as well and will be great for socializing.
