It has a beneficial effect on the body's recoverya bathhouse that removes unnecessary substances and toxins, activates heat transfer processes.

Methods of hardening
Immunity is the ability of a human beingthe body to resist bacteria and microbes, recognize and destroy them. For this purpose, there are leukocytes and lymphocytes - blood cells. The faster they move, the more effective their work. That is, immunity depends on the speed of movement of these cells, and their mobility on body temperature. Bacteria multiply faster when cooled, and the speed of immune cells slows down. There are various methods of hardening, for example, reducing the water temperature by one degree every day. Opinions differ on this method. Another method, on the contrary, is aimed at warming up the body. It is good to implement this method in practice in a bathhouse. You can warm up deeply or alternate warming up with short-term cooling. The practical application of the above methods in combination helps to increase immunity, improve health and rejuvenate the body.
