Do not perform the Swiss shower sessions when intoxicated by alcohol and during critical days. This type of shower is dangerous and in serious diseases of the cardiovascular system. It is prohibited to people who have a pacemaker, as well as in hypertension.

Often this type of shower is offered in medical institutions, where they carry out rehabilitation therapy and use different methods of water treatment. The basis of the Swiss shower is a combination of mechanical and thermal factors, when water is directed to the body from all sides in the form of thin jets.

Thanks to the effects of heat, muscle tone and metabolism increase, blood circulation becomes more active and the tissues are nourished. It also has a soothing and pain-relieving effect. Due to the effects of the cold, the blood vessels are first constricted, followed by dilation and the blood flow is accelerated. Such contrast effects have a positive effect on microcirculation and vascular pressure. They stimulate cellular metabolism and are complemented by the effects of the mechanical factor.

The treatment takes place in a small box, where the patient is advised to enter wearing rubber shoes and stripping down to a swimsuit. There are metal hoses with many small holes around the perimeter of the box. When the patient enters the box, a medical worker turns on the water and adjusts its parameters (pressure and temperature). Every minute thereafter, the pressure is increased and the temperature, on the contrary, is decreased. During the first minutes the body is in a state of relaxation and then the nervous system tones down.

One session of the Swiss shower can last 5-20 minutes. Its duration is influenced by the indications and the desired effect. When the water stops flowing into the cubicle, the procedure is completed and the patient leaves the shower room and changes into dry clothes. He may feel a more frequent heartbeat or dizziness, so there should be no hurry to leave. It is best to sit in the facility for 5-10 minutes while the condition normalizes.

It is worth mentioning that you can also take a circular shower at home if you purchase a hydro box.

Installation of home Swiss shower is popular in Western countries, where the doctor comes to the house and supervises the procedure. But here it is better to go to the medical center or SPA-salon, so the program of hydrotherapy was appointed individually, and all sessions were conducted under the supervision of an experienced health worker.

The design for the circular shower is a complex system that includes many small tubes that are placed in a circle. Through these tubes and the water is delivered at a sufficiently high pressure. The power of jets may vary, as well as their temperature mode, and these changes determine the appearance of a good therapeutic effect. The peculiarity and the main difference of this procedure from the Charcot shower is the effect on the entire surface of the body.

Water, getting on the body in the form of thin jets, effectively affects the points that are called biologically active. And that is why this procedure is considered similar to an acupressure massage. Its effect will be the activation of the immune system, as well as the launching of regenerative processes in the body.
