What temperature should be in the bath?

The bathhouse is a favorite vacation spot in our country. Lovers of bathing procedures regularly relax in steam rooms of different types. However, there are as many benefits from the steam room as there are harms, especially if you do not know the peculiarities of proper visits to the baths. In this procedure, the most dangerous - high heat, high temperature. It is necessary to monitor the level of heat, humidity and quality of steam. Let's take a closer look at what the temperature should be in the bathhouse.

The human body perceives high degrees of air differently, it largely depends on the level of humidity. The higher the humidity, the stronger the heat is felt. Therefore, a comfortable and correct temperature depends on the microclimate in different types of baths. It is very important to know what the average normal and maximum allowable temperature should be in different types of steam rooms.

The Russian steam room is filled with air of high humidity, and the heat is quite low, compared to other types. To increase humidity in the wood-fired steam room, the heated heater is poured with water, evaporation occurs, and the room is filled with hot steam. The higher the humidity, the harder it is to tolerate high temperatures, it's important to keep this in mind. Such a microclimate is quite dangerous when the heat level is high. The average temperature readings vary from +60 to +70°С, and the humidity can exceed 90%.

At the same time the high level of humidity has its merits, because the body gets warmed up more qualitatively. Especially if you complement the procedure with a massage with brooms.

Turkish hammam is not as common as the Russian steam room, but it is also quite popular. You should know that the level of humidity and temperature is very different from the Russian bath, making its visit more comfortable. Hamam is easily tolerated, a person practically does not get tired of visiting. The average standard temperature of the hammam is about +50 ° C, and the humidity is high, almost one hundred percent. Therefore, the steam is sufficiently thick, although there is not much heat.

In the sauna of the Finnish type the level of humidity is much lower than in the Hamam and Russian steam room. At the same time the temperature is higher, but the dry type of air makes it easier to bear the heat. However, much depends on the individual characteristics of the body, if people are very tolerant of dry steam. The average temperature is from +90 to +110 ° C. As for the humidity, it varies in the low range - from 10 to 15 percent.

Temperature and humidity levels are related to each other and create the most optimal values for steam bathing. Steam without harm to the body is possible if you know the correct modes and stick to them. In the heat, the human body heats up to a degree of fever, which perfectly mobilizes the body. The highest body temperature that is considered critical is +42 degrees. The process of sweating allows the body not to reach it, the water evaporates from the skin and does not allow the temperature to exceed the dangerous record.

Therefore If you exceed the heat level of +70 degrees in the Russian steam room, then such a high temperature will not allow the body to cope with the heat regulation. The result can be loss of consciousness and more serious consequences. The top of the Russian steam room is the hottest temperature, the bottom is cooler. It is important to take a steam bath with headgear. As for the Finnish sauna, the maximum that a healthy body can bear - +130 degrees, in the Hamam - +70 degrees.

Be careful with the baths, which are heated black. Temperature regimes here are similar to the usual Russian bath, but carbon monoxide can do more harm than good. The temperature in the bath also depends on the purpose of the room. The highest - in the steam room. In the locker room, pre-bath and washing room it should be lower, namely:

• in the locker room not the minimum temperature should be about +24 ° C, the maximum by 2-3 degrees higher;
• in the washing room is considered a comfortable level no higher than +30 ° C;
• The water temperature in the pool should not exceed +24 ° C, otherwise you can not achieve contrast, the minimum level - +20 ° C.

It is necessary to control the level of humidity and temperature in all rooms to stay in them was comfortable, but not dangerous to health. To do this you need to keep under control not only the temperature, but also the timing. Visiting the steam room should not be too long, it is necessary to dose the visit. Doctors recommend the following intervals:

• the first visit from 3 to 5 minutes, no more;
• after resting, if you are comfortable, you can increase the time to 10 or even 15 minutes;
• the third visit can be increased by 5 minutes;
• in no case do not exceed the time of stay in the steam room more than 25 minutes.

Studies have proven that a person is able to endure the heat up to +160 ° C, in these conditions he can breathe. As for time type records, the body can bear 26 minutes at the most in the heat of more than +100 ° C, more than +70 ° C - one hour.

First of all, you should remember the following signs, indicating that it is time to leave the steam room, the temperature is too high for you:

• Dizziness, even at the beginning of the procedure;
• darkening of the eyes;
• a feeling of very severe weakness;
• shortness of breath;
• nausea.

Any sign from this list is a reason to leave the steam room immediately and take a shower. Under no circumstances should you pour ice-cold water over yourself! It is very dangerous in this state. Be sure to drink water, tea or morsels. The proper steaming should be gradual.

Refuse to visit the steam room if you have problems such as:

• blood pressure;
• Your heart and blood vessels;
• dermatological problems;
• nerves;
• with oncology;
• with asthma;
• epilepsy.

Do not steam in the period of acute illness, with high body temperature, in critical days, pregnant women, the elderly and young children. You should refrain from steaming for people with tuberculosis in the open phase, people with kidney problems, gynecological diseases, hives in the acute phase. Since high temperatures and humidity have a very strong effect on a weakened body, it is important not to take it lightly. Gradually in the steam room heats up the skin, then the internal organs, so that the process happens properly, periodically wipe off the sweat. The blood accelerates, the pressure rises.

If you do not steam correctly, exceed the temperature, the body overheats, the body gets tired, the pulse goes off the scale. If allowed to overheat too much, the skin is covered with red and white spots.
