Steamer

In order to properly prepare a broom, you need a steamer for a bath. This is usually the name given to a wooden container where it is filled with water. It can be with or without a lid; the first option is more preferable, but its price is higher. But the lid will not allow not only the steam to escape, but also the broom to float, and it will steam better.

Steamers for baths are:

• vertical, similar to a barrel or bucket;
• horizontal, resembling a pelvis.

The first ones are easier to make, so they are cheaper and more common.

Tip: in a horizontal steamer, broom branches are steamed evenly.

What are bath brooms made from?

Birch

The birch broom is considered the leader among bath brooms.

And there are reasons for this:

• lasting;
• very flexible;
• comfortable in using;
• absorbs sweat well;
• easily sticks to the body due to the rough and porous surface of the sheet.

The above characteristics appear in full force if the broom is properly steamed.

Our ancestors knew about the healing properties of birch.

For example:

• leaves contain essential oil, tannins and various vitamins;
• The decoction was used in ancient times to treat wounds, skin diseases, and baldness.

It is still a real panacea, which is why it is prepared with special care. Curly or weeping birch is used for preparation, but other types of wood are also suitable.

Why did you choose them? For example, the leaves of curly birch do not become slippery after steaming and are stored for a long time, but weeping birch is light and flexible. They try to use branches of “mature” trees, although young ones are almost not lagging behind.

Tip: when choosing, make sure that birch leaf it was velvety to the touch, as if with fluff.

Oak

It’s a complex tree, but if you know how to steam an oak bathhouse broom correctly, you’ll get a birch broom that won’t be much different from it. The beauty of oak leaves is their breadth and density, although they do not absorb sweat as well. Thanks to them, you can perfectly pump up steam in the steam room.

We should also not forget that “communication” with oak has been considered since ancient times as a guarantee of good health. For example, a regular walk in a grove can stabilize blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

The best period for harvesting oak brooms is coming to an end summer season and at the very beginning of autumn from the so-called “winter” oak, which does not shed its leaves for the winter.

Tip: a wonderful oak broom will be made from the branches of a tree under which large burdocks grow.

Eucalyptus

The healing properties of this tree are known to many.

In addition to inhalations, you can spray its tincture on the walls in the steam room to forget about the disease for a long time respiratory system, including:

• bronchi;
• lungs;
• throat.

The use of a eucalyptus broom resembles inhalation. In the steam room it spreads a pleasant and strong smell. Harvesting brooms should be done at the end of autumn, when the peak of the healing properties of eucalyptus leaves occurs.

It is best to use twig eucalyptus. It is difficult to use thin branches of a plant, so it is better to add them to oak or birch brooms. The therapeutic effect will not change, but it will be more convenient to use.

Needles

A broom made from coniferous trees is popular among those who like to take a steam bath, especially from fir. In addition to it, you can also use spruce, which is not inferior in healing properties. They contain sticky resin, which is a strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent. It can also help with toothache, headaches, and skin diseases.

Juniper

The juniper broom deserves special mention. He is distinguished by his strong antibacterial properties, until recently, juniper oil was used in surgery to sterilize threads used to stitch wounds. The shrub is also actively used in the treatment of radiculitis attacks, paralysis and skin problems.

Nettle

Another extreme option for a bath is a nettle broom. Properly prepared, it can reduce pain in lumbar region spine, lower painful sensations for rheumatism and gout. There is a gentle option, when nettle practically does not sting, and there is a regular one, which gives a real effect.

You don't have to whip yourself with a nettle broom. For example, if something is wrong with your kidneys and liver, just steam it and apply it to the sore spots.

Harvesting nettles should be carried out in May-June; shady places should be used for drying. He served once, unlike others. If you want a nettle broom not to burn you, right before use, give it a “ cold and hot shower”, dousing it alternately with hot and cold water several times.

Sagebrush

This broom is not as popular as the previous one, but that doesn’t make it any less useful. The herb has a beneficial effect on the skin, and its smell will remain in the bathhouse for several more days.

Harvesting wormwood brooms should be done immediately after flowering. Then the stems will still be strong, but not yet dry. Dry in the shade and store in a cool place. After one use, the broom is thrown away.

Maple

A maple broom not only tones, but can also relieve pain. Wood and leaves contain large quantities tannins and ascorbic acid. The maple broom is very flexible and whippy, it absorbs sweat well.

Tip: use various steaming herbs for the bath, which should be poured into a canvas bag and placed in hot water for 15 minutes.
Then sprinkle it on the stones and breathe in the healing aroma.

From the article you learned in detail about how to steam a broom in a bathhouse, as well as what it is made of. Put these tips into practice, and you will get only good impressions from the bathhouse. In the video presented in this article you will find Additional information on this topic.

Broom made from deciduous branches or coniferous trees- a real symbol of the Russian bathhouse. A massage with a broom invigorates and heals.

But to use it profitably, it needs to be properly prepared - soaked or steamed. Then he will give his all healing substances, vitamins, phytoncides and essential oils.

It’s not so easy for a beginner to immediately figure out how to properly soak a bath broom. Although, it would seem, what’s so complicated about it – pour boiling water over it and worry about your health.

But the point is that dry and fresh brooms are prepared very differently for use in the steam room. During the preparation process, you may need water of different temperatures - from cold to very hot.

Bath attributes made from different breeds trees. Birch wood is processed in one way, and coniferous wood is processed in a completely different way. Otherwise, instead of a fragrant natural massager, you may end up with a bunch of shabby twigs that can hurt you. Also pay attention to how correct it was.

Experienced steam lovers know how to steam brooms for a bath - this, one might say, is sacred information for every steamer:

• Fresh brooms are not steamed at all, so as not to spoil them. Green branches just need to be rinsed with running water or soaked in a basin and shake off excess moisture. And to strengthen the broom, they do this - by going into the steam room and staying there for some time, they stroke the body, already wet from sweat, with branches. This is how experts in bath procedures “temper” brooms;
• Coniferous species are not suitable for people with delicate and overly sensitive skin. They can be used in another way - not for body massage, but for aroma. Just put it on the shelves and inhale the unique healing smell;
• Eucalyptus varieties are beneficial with an abundance of essential oils and disinfectant properties. But a bunch of such branches is not very convenient for use in a steam room - they are thin, and the leaves on them are long and narrow. It’s better to use a little trick: build a combined bundle of oak and birch branches and add eucalyptus branches to them. This broom is convenient and combines the benefits of all trees.

How to properly steam brooms of different types of wood

Brooms made from deciduous trees are popular among people, especially real Russian symbols - birch and oak. Coniferous bath accessories are often made from spruce, pine, cedar, fir and juniper branches.

A bunch of oak branches is prepared for the steam room in the same way as birch branches. There are other ways to soak oak leaf brooms:

• This method is suitable for those who have time to prepare bath attributes. A day before going to steam, the broom is wrapped in a well-moistened cloth. Within 24 hours, the branches and leaves will be sufficiently saturated with moisture. All that remains is to scald the broom with boiling water, and it is ready for use;

How to steam a bath broom, brew it correctly

True steam lovers prefer to use everything own production. It is better to prepare raw materials for this product in late June or early July. You need to do this when it’s dry outside. Young tree branches are ideal. Typically a bouquet consists of 50 branches.

In Rus', it has long been a custom to steam with a fragrant broom. This is not only an ancient tradition, but also a great way to take care of your health. The fact is that whipping and pulling are nothing more than an effective massage.

• Massage improves blood circulation.
• Increases sweating (which means it helps remove waste and toxins from the body faster).
• Speeds up metabolism.

For a massage to bring maximum pleasure and benefit, it must be properly organized. Before the procedure, the dry collection must be steamed by immersing it in cold water for 10-15 minutes, and then in hot water for 3-4 minutes.

Before soaking, you need to rinse the foliage thoroughly. And do not overdo it with steaming, otherwise the leaves may become flabby and sour.

If the plant has just been collected, you don’t need to do anything with it, just wash off the dirt. After soaking, the liquid is able to absorb some of the beneficial properties, so it is better not to throw it away, but to use it to wash the body.

She will help:

• Cope with dandruff.
• Strengthen hair.
• Give them shine and a special aroma.

The benefits along with the aroma will be greatly spoiled by such soaking. The product will no longer be suitable for a bath; it will burn strongly, and the steam will be too wet and heavy. After the procedure, the person will feel tortured and disappointed.

When you spontaneously decide to take a steam bath, but nothing is ready:

• Place the dry twigs in a container.
• Pour boiling water over it.
• Then cover with something to prevent the steam from escaping.
• Wait 10 minutes.

If you are already steaming, but the steam tool still seems very dry, pour boiling water over it with steam coming from the stones:

Fresh branches should not be steamed with boiling water, otherwise it can be spoiled; simply dip it in warm water.

Recipe for steaming an oak bath broom:

• - the dried bunch is pre-rinsed warm water;

A bathhouse is a leisurely, gradual and consistent affair. Everything must have its own order. The oak broom is the real ruler of the bathhouse empire and it requires special treatment. It is necessary to steam an oak broom for a bath in advance.

Oak broom differs from birch broom in greater strength and density of leaves. A properly steamed broom in a steam room practically does not fall off.

A dense and wide oak leaf captures and brings more bath heat to the body. This broom warms the body well and softens the skin.

However, in order for the beneficial properties of the broom to reveal themselves in full force, you need to know the subtleties of steaming. An improperly soaked broom will lose its leaves, quickly break and scratch the skin.

An overly steamed broom will also not bring pleasure. The branches become limp, the foliage becomes heavy, it heats up very quickly and steaming with it is unpleasant and dangerous. Boiling water drips from the hot leaves onto the body, the leaves stick to the skin and burn very strongly.

To avoid such troubles in the steam room, you need to steam and soak the broom according to the rules.

The first method of steaming an oak broom

Let's start with the fact that any dry brooms must be steamed. This method is suitable for well-dried brooms.

Entering the bathhouse, fill the basin cold water and let the broom sit for twenty minutes. The life-giving power of water will nourish the leaf and return its hidden strength.

After cold soaking, drain the water and immediately plunge into hot, but not boiling, water. After five to seven minutes, the oak broom is ready for use.

The second method of soaking an oak broom

This method is suitable for overdried (burnt out) brooms. You need to prepare such bath accessories in advance. Before going to the bathhouse, soak the broom in cold water 16-20 hours before going to the bathhouse.

Over such a long period of time, the foliage of the broom will be saturated with the power of water and will look like fresh. Then remove the broom from the basin, do not shake off the water, but make a kind of bouquet, place the cuttings in the water.

In this position, the cuttings will also become saturated with water and become strong and elastic.

Additional soaking in hot water Such brooms are no longer required.

The third method of steaming an oak broom

I call this method “on a quick fix" If you are planning to go to the bathhouse spontaneously, you can steam a dry broom in 10 minutes. Boil a kettle and pour boiling water over a broom in a basin or other container. Be sure to cover the bowl with something to prevent steam from escaping.

While you are collecting your bath accessories and getting dressed, your broom will steam and be ready for the bath ritual.

The fourth method of steaming an oak broom

This method is an emergency one and is suitable for a super-dried broom.

If you come to the bathhouse and are ready to take a steam bath, but the broom is monstrously dry, you can try to return vitality oak foliage. It can be steamed with hot steam from a heater. But first…

Dip the broom into a bowl of hot water for one or two minutes. Then take out the broom and do not shake off the water, but shake the broom over the heater.

Water dripping from the broom leaves will give steam, which will steam your dried-overdried broom. In just a few minutes the king of the steam room will be ready!

When steaming an oak broom in this way, you need to be very careful; it’s easy to burn your hands with the steam, so use bath mittens.

Also make sure that leaves from the broom do not fall onto the heater. The leaves will burn and the smell will not be pleasant.

In conclusion, I want to say that fresh oak brooms do not require steaming or soaking.

They are simply wetted exclusively in warm water, because fresh leaf cooks quickly when hot. Instead of the aroma of a fresh oak grove, you will get the smell of boiled hay in the bathhouse.

I think I'm the best Banya broom- fresh, green. Living foliage does not require any treatment with hot water, soaking or steaming.

A fresh broom gives its own benefits, it is flexible and gentle in the steam room. But in the harsh winter you will definitely have to steam an oak broom; at this time you won’t be able to find a fresh one. Have a fragrant steam, be healthy!
