Doctor of Medical Sciences and specialist in integrative and anti-aging medicine, Svetlana Kanevskaya, shared with RG the positive impact of the bath on health. She noted that the heat in the bath promotes relaxation, regulates the level of cortisol (stress hormone), and helps restore sleep.

According to the specialist, the high temperature in the bath improves blood circulation, promoting natural muscle recovery after physical activity. She also emphasized that after the bath there is a gradual decrease in the level of endorphins, which has a beneficial effect on the quality of sleep.

Temperature changes in the bath also help remove toxins from the body through active sweating. However, the doctor reminded that there are contraindications for visiting the bathhouse, such as cardiovascular diseases, dehydration, bronchial asthma, pregnancy and other conditions.

So, a bathhouse can be an effective way to relieve stress, improve sleep and improve overall health, but it is necessary to take into account individual health characteristics when visiting it.
