Is it possible to take a bath after the flu

In the cold months of the year, when you do not want to leave the house at all, there is an increased risk of catching a cold or flu. This unpleasant phenomenon, from which no one is immune, can knock down even the most persistent during the epidemic. A visit to the bath will help the body not only resist the fight against unwanted viruses, but also quickly recover from the flu or SARS. But first things first.

Beneficial effect at the first sign of a cold

     “To wash in a bath is to be born again,” says folk wisdom and hits “the bull's-eye”. The most effective property of the bath is to “steam the bones”. Due to the increase in body temperature, leukocytes begin to move faster, which leads to an intense fight against pathogenic microbes. Therefore, visiting the bath is more than useful during the period of the first harbingers of colds. By adding a few drops of eucalyptus, cedar (no more than 1 drop per 1.5 liters of water!), Thuja, lemon balm or mint oil to the water, the body's resistance to viruses will increase several times.

ATTENTION! Due to the higher air temperature and significantly lower humidity, it is not recommended to visit the sauna at the first sign of a cold, because of the possibility of “burning” the vocal cords!

Inhaled vapors will help restore breathing by eliminating nasal congestion; minimize sore throat increase the body's resistance to the emerging disease. You can take a steam bath at the first signs of the disease! This is the best solution without drugs to increase the body's resistance.    

Visiting the bath during the illness of SARS or influenza

     If it was not possible to eliminate the first precursors of the disease, and the disease came up, with all the consequences, in the form of temperature, acute headache and sore throat, going to the bath is categorically contraindicated. No essential oils will save your body during an acute illness! Constant temperature fluctuations will only aggravate the situation, and the condition will worsen extremely. During a period of high activity of the disease, bed rest and plenty of fluids will be the best solution.

Bath after the flu: benefit or harm

Is it possible to wash in the bath after the flu and SARS, and how many days after the temperature? When the temperature returned to normal, and the body began to replenish with new forces, the doors to the bathhouse are open again for you! A visit to the steam room will only benefit, help restore strength and quickly put you on your feet.

The fact is that if you take a steam bath in the bath after suffering the flu or SARS, toxins that have accumulated in the body while taking medications, and even more so antibiotics, will start to come out through the enlarged pores along with sweat. Such a kind of cleansing is also useful in that the load on the liver and kidneys is reduced, and this is especially important during recovery. The joints, which “made themselves felt” during high temperatures, will also thank you: an increase in the joint fluid, due to their saturation with moisture, will heal the muscles and relieve residual aches throughout the body. The work of the intestine also returns to normal when the body is exposed to high temperatures: the microflora will recover faster after the possible use of antibiotics. And the use of essential oils that can reduce the viscosity of sputum will help to remove it as soon as possible.

Take a steam bath after a cold, and also with an oak broom - the best solution for a speedy recovery! An oak broom will resume the metabolic processes of the body and the nervous system. But the best in this business will be a birch broom. Organic volatile substances contained in birch actively fight pathogenic viruses and bacteria. Use it for lung diseases - give invaluable benefits to the body.

Be sure to stock up on tea from medicinal herbs: mint, linden, thyme. Drinking plenty of water will help restore water balance, and herbs will saturate the body with useful substances.

        Given the various positive aspects of the steam room, not everyone will benefit from visiting it. Since the relative humidity in the bath ranges from 90 to 100%, and the temperature is considered favorable from 40 to 75 degrees, it is worth taking care of your health if diseases are observed:

Its healing properties, which were noticed in ancient Rus', will fill the body with vital energy and replenish lost strength. So let's not change the traditions - take a steam bath!
