Tried a bath broom made from Horseradish leaves

I recently published an article on my channel about what time to cut brooms for a bath, and in the comments to her one kind (not really) man (I already doubt that too) said that he once steamed in a bath with a horseradish broom.

Looking at my withered and well-worn birch broom, I decided to get rid of it, and since the trees have practically no new leaves, but the horseradish has already flooded with might and main - it was decided to test their broom horseradish.

By the way, here is the very bush that we cut in order to get a well-deserved but modest portion of pleasure in a hot sauna.

Surprisingly, there was only enough bush for two distinct bath brooms - not so thick ..

Sensations

Let's go in order. Horseradish broom is much softer than birch and even more so oak. It splashes softly, leaves almost no marks on the skin and does not fall on the floor, which is also important - you don't need to clean up after yourself!

Despite its softness, a horseradish broom invigorates no worse than a birch

Smell

What can I say, the smell in the steam room was simply divine - it turns out that horseradish leaves are no less fragrant than the root itself, used in pickling cucumbers and tomatoes.

The appetite was awakened literally after 5-7 minutes of active vaping, although usually to experience the feeling of hunger in the bath, you need to sit for at least an hour.

An acquaintance also said that some people specifically buy dried horseradish in order to spread it in the sauna. How

What were we unhappy with?

And the whole reason for our dissatisfaction is that horseradish (at least in spring) has a very persistent smell - it has not disappeared from the sauna for a week, despite the ventilation system.

You walk by and you smell the root vegetable.

What's next?

Next in line is a nettle or gooseberry broom (haven't decided yet).
