Aquatherapy: go under the water!


Aquatherapy: go under the water! Spiritual ritual, able to harmonize the energy, restore youth, health and strength... swimming in the bathtub has become a real art, the basics of which comprehended Maria Taranenko.


Guess what the main difference Russians from the Japanese? "the question of Yokoe Katsuhiko, Director General Sensai, caught me off guard. Only I wondered how tactical to respond to this nice Japanese man, he suddenly said: "You Russians don't know how to take a bath! " I confess, in my long list of differences this item was not. I honestly confessed Yokoe-Sana. "Those differences, which you thought, largely fictional. We like Russian. According to the survey, 95 % of students said that their favorite country - Russia. I about such statistics have not heard, nor about the fact that the Russians have problems with taking a bath. I think that we have rather a problem with her "failure". The part of the population, of course. But Yokoi-San was of a different opinion. It turns out that in Japan, the bath is not related to hygiene and to the spiritual rituals. It is impermissible to plan and make other cleansing treatments. To do this, have a shower. In the bathroom it is to recline, enjoying the peace and energy of water, relax and meditate. In Japan there are no apartments without baths, and bath often takes half housing. Not because they are huge, and because the apartments in the Country of the rising sun tiny.




History




After this informative conversation I differently looked at his bath. When I took the last time? In huge, we have inherited from the previous tenants Jacuzzi love to splash my children. However, without any spiritual development. I myself many months not luxuriated in the warm fragrant water. Business trips do not take into account: after flights bath room so vital. But have to take it with improvised shower gel. But before I collect salt and butter, loved to test different compositions, to collect folk recipes. I liked milk and honey bath, which makes the skin soft, tender and just vanish insomnia. What kind of salt I brought from the Dead sea! She was transformed Moscow hard water not only externally, giving it a blue hue, but inside. The skin after it is not pulled, and the energy was more than enough. These memories, along with the story of the Japanese colleagues inspired me to dive... in history! Deciding to fully explore this question, I read articles about well-known milk bath Cleopatra, and about the hatred of the medieval nobility to the baths, and that, on the contrary, during the reign of Napoleon aristocrat didn't get out of fragrant water. "I will in a few days, seversal their ablutions," wrote Napoleon's first wife Josephine, a passionate admirer baths and baths. The Governor, on the contrary, is not fond of the smell of soap from the female body, preferring its natural aroma. But that's another story.

By the way, Yokoi-San was not right in thinking that for us bath - a soulless ritual. How many books were read, thoughts changed the mind and masks applied during the "otoconia" in fragrant water - do not count. Most of the surveyed me who you believe tub way to relax, retire, relax. By the way men relate to it better women. So, art consultant ELLE Mikhail Ryabov loves all kinds of aromababy Lush. "They bring their hiss and smell the lazy atmosphere baths. And I just can't do without this animation! "he shared his secrets. Not without curiosities. Knowing his weakness, we gave once Misha set of atombomb, one of which was sequined. This effect on the skin, he noticed only in the morning, out on the street: "People are strange glances, and I could not understand where my t-shirt so many spangles. And they with hands and hair was poured". Had the guy go back and take a shower. By the way, many supplements for the bathroom "sin" like special effects, hoping that they are only women.





Bath for two


My other friend thinks no bath without aromatic candles. "Thus I achieve harmony of three elements: water, fire and air. Due to this, body and soul harmoniously cleared, achieving the perfect balance," explained Illya their fad. I don't know, how about a subtle matter, but to take a bath surrounded by flickering candles really very nice and romantic. Especially together. No wonder in some London hotels have a special service "bath night": for a certain hour it is filled with water, add salt, oil, rose petals. Light a beautiful candle, include beautiful music, prepare Bathrobe, bed and dim lights. Funny thing: even if you live alone, the bed in such a day will assort with two sides, put two bathrobes and two warmers in silk covers: the English can't imagine that this ritual may be performed in solitude. It is worth to learn from them these tricks. Oddly enough, many men have a weakness for romantic surprises such. Therefore, if on the evening of February 14, you will prepare loved the aroma bath with candles, petals and soft music, he will be glad. The main thing is to check all the funds for the presence of crystals, candy-floral fragrances, and generally strong odors. And, by the way, is not always worth it to get into the tub together. The size of our plumbers is far from the one that stands in British hotels, so instead of relaxation and pampering you risk long showdowns, where whose leg.

Everything flows


Today it is fashionable to discuss the mysterious ability of water. Her "memory", the ability to remove negative information, transmit information, and other unusual things. Like it or not - I don't know, but that proper bath works wonders, I'm sure. The key word here is correct. Plunging into the water, our body is freed from gravity due to the buoyancy force of water. The muscles and ligaments instantly unloaded, normal blood circulation, opens pores and release toxins. But most importantly, decreases the levels of stress hormones (epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol) in the blood. Therefore, in difficult periods in the life of the bath is the best therapist. The effect depends on the water temperature and duration of the washing. Than the hot tub, the less you want it to be. Ideal for relaxation temperature is 37 °C (when, incidentally, the skin better absorbs the healing components of essential oils, plant extracts and sea salt). The optimal duration of the bath - 20 minutes. And, if you want then to go to sleep, do not let the temperature fall, constantly adding warm water. And to cheer up before a party or a sleepless night, try to relax and "be cool" with EN. This is my proven before Christmas night and after long-distance flights. Works perfectly!




Banned




Take a bath can not all and not always. Doctors do not recommend doing this more than twice a week. You cannot take a bath immediately after eating. Better 2 hours before or after. According to biorhythms, dive into the water better before going to sleep, not after waking up. We should not fall into the tub in one fell swoop: the body perceives more gradual relaxation. The water should not cover the region of the heart.




Not lying motionless. Light circular movements of hands and feet, increase blood flow, removing fatigue and swelling.




After the bath, it is better to go to bed. Or, at least, 15 minutes to relax in complete peace, in order to stabilize the pressure. Try to RUB you dry: evaporating, the water attacks and your own body moisture, drying with the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to apply to it the milk or cream.

Who supplements?


Means for baths exists today a great many. Here are the main types.





Foam At its core is a slightly modified gel. The foam softens water, cleans the skin, giving the ritual of comfort and aesthetics. After such a bath you need to take a shower.


Sol

bath generally of marine origin. Contains a complex of trace elements (most of them are in Dead sea salt), which has an effect on the skin. Also in bath salt is often added medicinal plant extracts and aromatic substances. Salt baths improve metabolism, relieve swelling, promote weight loss and cellulite reduction (along with diet, sport and massage).



Oil bath (not to be confused with essential oils! ) Moisturizes and perfumes the skin. Often these tools are perfume line and allow you to get from your favourite fragrance maximum pleasure.


Essential oils are concentrated in the oil extracts of flowers, seeds, berries, roots, etc. Contained in aromatic volatile substances enter the body through the respiratory tract and through the skin. To the water add 5-15 drops of essential oil only after the tub is completely filled. Otherwise, the stream of water will "spread" of its particles on the walls - and the effect will be reduced. To opolaskivaetsya water after taking a bath is not necessary. Best place to buy oil in specialized stores, in consultation with the consultants.




Effervescent tablets and other "bombs" for the bath to dissolve Quickly, giving water fragrance, pleasant shade and healing properties. Often in the bathtub missing one or two pieces.




Algae and plant suspension increases metabolism, drain, tone the skin. Homes are rarely used because of the peculiar smell and pigments. More often used in spas as part of the ritual for the care of the body.




Many people still like to add in the bath with herbal teas, milk, honey, soda, oatmeal and other foods. Such experiments is justified. However, in my opinion, denied the aesthetics of the finished cosmetic products. Although, this is my personal opinion. The Japanese, for example, against any additives. They believe that nothing should interfere with human contact with the water. However, in their country so many thermal sources, even from the taps flowing and healing water. And this is another difference, which I will tell it next time, Yokoe-order.
