The Russian Steam Bath

The traditional Russian steam bath has a long and rich history dating back to many centuries ago, yet it should be noted that the old Slavonic people of what later became Russia were not the only nation to realize the importance and regenerative effect produced by water and steam, and in what a noble way the body’s purity and health impact the purity and health of the soul… Since ancient times the bath has been used as a means to promote health and fight different diseases. Bathing relieves nervous tension and stress and boosts metabolism. Hot steam goes deep into the pores and purifies the whole body, and produces an exfoliating and detoxifying effect. No cosmetic mask, whatever effective it might be, can rival the Russian steam bath in effectiveness.
