Do you love the bathhouse as I love it? For me, the bathhouse is one of the most beautiful places for rest, relaxation and recovery. And since we are talking about the bath, I propose today to discuss how to properly put water on the stones of the stove in the steam room. I will tell you how I do it. And if you have other methods and tips, write in the comments!

So how do you handle water and rocks to get the right temperature? We are talking about a wet Russian bath, where to create steam you need to pour hot stones with water.

1. I'll start with a warning and a reminder! For safety reasons, do not stand close to the heater. This is especially true for newcomers to the bathing business. The resulting stream of steam can severely burn your skin.

2. For the best effect, water the stones with warm or hot water.

3. The water can be either ordinary pure or with the addition of herbs, aromatized or essential oils.

4. Don't get carried away with essential oils. If they are too concentrated, being in the bath will not lead to good health, but to headaches and discomfort.

5. If you are supplementing the water with herbs, be sure to strain the infusions before using, pouring onto hot stones. And do not forget to alternate watering with additives with watering with clean water so that the steam is evenly distributed throughout the steam room.

6. Apply water to the stones in moderation, about 300 ml each. at a time to prevent steam from escaping too much, thereby lowering the overall temperature, or flooding stones. In addition, at this dosage, the steam will be light.

7. Try to water a large area of ​​stones, not just the edge.

8. If you want to get temperatures from 80 degrees and above, then you need to splash water on the walls.

9. Do not get carried away with frequent watering of water stones. This will not give a good heat, but will only gradually cool the stones in the stove.

10. For the best effect, do not pour water on wet stones. It is worth being patient and waiting for them to dry out. This will make the heat as good as possible.

11. If you hear that the water spilled on the stones hiss, then the stove is cold. In this case, water is not able to quickly turn into a vaporous state.

12. If you notice that steam from the stove is accumulating at the top, you need to disperse it with a broom throughout the steam room.

13. If you have a closed stove, remember to close the damper.
