Health and beauty depend on the optimal state of the body and metabolic rate. Means of different availability and efficiency help to maintain indicators at the proper level. Among them, one of the popular methods of maintaining normal metabolism and excretion excess fluid of tissues is the adoption of herbal baths.

Bath compositions for removing excess fluid

Baths that allow you to remove fluid, in fact, are lymphatic drainage or accelerating metabolism. Normalization of lymph movement and processing processes nutrients entering the body, improves the excretion of excess fluid and prevents the appearance of edema.

In order for the bath to have such an effect, it may contain the following types of herbs:

• straw and unpeeled oats - they increase functional features epidermis, including eliminating inflammatory processes in the nerve endings responsible for the reaction of tissues to negative factors that provoke the appearance of local edema;
• alder leaves - great for relieving pain, fatigue, swelling after a long stay on your feet, in high heels;
• Scotch pine needles - normalizes metabolism, has a regulatory effect on skin function and the central nervous system;
• aromatic composition to improve metabolism: lemon balm, yarrow inflorescences and leaves, leafy wormwood inflorescences, oregano herb, marsh calamus rhizomes, peppermint greens, pine buds and shoots - all in approximately equal parts;
• wormwood - in addition to its antifungal action, it improves skin nutrition with blood, which helps to normalize local metabolic processes and remove excess fluid from these areas;
• collection for obesity: mountaineer grass (60 g), horsetail grass (60 g), odorous chamomile grass (80 g), pine needles and twigs (240 g), sea buckthorn leaves (100 g), branches and viburnum leaves (60 d) - normalizes metabolism, helps to cope with puffiness and improve the processes of processing fat in problem areas, curb the feeling of hunger, including influencing the digestive processes.

The action of baths that remove liquid

The action of baths used to remove excess fluid from the body is based on two basic principles.

The first is the normalization of metabolic processes. A bath is one of those methods that allows you to deliver nutrients directly to the blood in a short time. They are absorbed into the layers of the epidermis, and then through a network of microcapillaries they penetrate into large vessels and reach all internal organs, which allows them to influence their work.

The normalization of metabolism is, first of all, the improvement of digestion, the processes of cleansing and removing excess fluid. With regular use of such baths, a significant improvement can be achieved. appearance and weight loss. In some cases, the volume of the excreted liquid reaches two or three liters, which immediately affects the weight mark and the main volumes of the body. Thus, without losing volumes of adipose tissue, you can already lose one size.

When the metabolism is normalized, the water-salt balance also returns to normal, on which the tendency to the manifestation of puffiness directly depends. Of course, in order for the effect to be really noticeable, you must control the intake of salt, sugar, as well as the blood levels of substances such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, which are also involved in water-salt metabolism. With a lack or excess of these components, puffiness occurs to a greater or lesser extent. The danger is that such a tendency to retain fluid in the body may be associated with heart disease or abnormalities in the endocrine system.

The second is to improve the functioning of the lymph flow. Lymph stasis is one of the first reasons you swell up. Unpleasant sensations of stiffness of movement and soreness of the joints appear due to disruption of the kidneys, problems with blood vessels, and metabolic failure.

Based on the foregoing, it is important to emphasize that in the presence of serious problems with puffiness, you need to consult a doctor, and only then use baths as an additional means of combating moisture retention in body tissues.

How to take a bath to remove excess fluid

1. Eliminate contraindications. Make sure you are not allergic to the bath ingredients. You can not stay in hot water for a long time with kidney and heart failure, a tendency to sudden pressure drops, acute pain syndrome and high temperature body. If you are weakened by a disease or have recently undergone surgery, it is also better to refuse taking baths until complete recovery. Baths are also undesirable during menstruation.

2. Brew the selected herbs or herbal preparations as indicated in the instructions for them. As a rule, for this it is necessary to take water, the temperature of which is 35-38 ° C, and infuse the components in it for half an hour. Strained infusion must be added to the bath. The average size of a concentrated broth is 10 liters. Bath volume - 200 liters.

3. Take a shower before filling the tub. By washing away sweat, grease and dirt, you open access for nutrient absorption. It is best to use ordinary soap for rinsing, as modern shower gels leave an invisible film on the surface of the skin, which can block the action of the active components of the bath.

4. The average duration of a bath is 15-30 minutes. During this time, the tissues of the body warm up well, and the process of transmission begins. useful substances through the capillary network into the general circulation. It is important to monitor your condition throughout the procedure.

5. If you want to reduce swelling only in the arms or legs, then the bath can be done only for these parts of the body. In this case, the general strengthening effect will extend to the entire body.

6. All the while taking a bath, maintain the optimum temperature - not higher than 40 ° C, but not lower than 35 ° C, so as not to provoke the development of malaise, colds, muscle spasms.

7. After the bath, gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel. Don't rub. You can rinse in the shower, but it is better not to use soapy products. It is also better not to use additional cosmetic products after such baths.

8. Dress in loose, clean clothes and lie under the covers for half an hour to keep warm and strengthen the processing of active substances received by the skin during the procedure.

9. Before taking a bath, you should not eat or drink anything, especially drinks containing taurine and caffeine! This can provoke a severe migraine, an increase or decrease in pressure, up to loss of consciousness, heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath and other unpleasant consequences.

10. After the bath, in small sips for an hour, you can drink sour fruit drink or herbal tea with chamomile, lemon balm, oregano, thyme, rose hips, blueberries, raspberries. They will have an anti-inflammatory, soothing and diuretic effect, which will also help get rid of excess fluid.

11. You can eat only an hour and a half after taking a bath.

It is good to combine such procedures for removing excess fluid from the body and normalizing the water-salt balance with lymphatic drainage and anti-cellulite massage, alternating a bath with a visit to a massage therapist. Just one or two sessions a week is enough to achieve a tangible result.

AT recent times on the Internet, the issue of using soda baths for weight loss is often discussed. Is it really that effective? And how to take soda baths? About this in today's article.

Regular baking soda has many useful properties, but when taken orally, special care is required, since soda can adversely affect the gastric mucosa. With the external use of soda, everything is easier. It is very useful, for example, to take a bath with the addition of baking soda. Such a bath perfectly helps to relax, soothe and soften the skin (even after just one procedure), rid the body of toxins and toxins. Soda baths are recommended for poisoning (for example, alcohol).

How to take soda baths for healing

Soda baths (it is better, however, to call them alkaline) are included in the alkaline program for improving the body. The alkaline health recovery system also includes oral soda, alkaline foot baths, alkaline socks, and alkaline body wraps.

The action of soda baths is based on a physical phenomenon - osmosis. I will not bore you here with the details of the description of this phenomenon. The curious can find information on the Internet.

In order to restore health, soda baths are also recommended for people with various skin diseases.

Thanks to soda, toxins are removed from the body, dryness is eliminated, rashes disappear, the epidermis softens and elasticity increases. skin generally. The blood and lymph are cleansed.

In order to achieve the above effects, the bath should be taken as follows:

• For 200 liters of hot water (per bath), you need to use about 150-200 g (half a pack) of ordinary baking soda. It is better to dissolve soda in hot water first and then pour it into the bath.
  This is for starters. Then increase the amount of soda to 1 pack.
  In my opinion, a bath with the addition of salt is much more effective.
  For a bath, you need to take about 1 kg of coarse crystalline salt. Do not use extra salt. I always use coarse sea salt. You can take sea salt and regular salt in half.
• You can add quite a bit of essential oil to the bath, for example, tea tree or lavender, a healing decoction of chamomile. Features of adding oil at the end of the article.
• Take a bath first in a sitting position for about 10 minutes, then you can lie down.
• The duration of the bath is at least 30 minutes. There is a record case when a woman from Düsseldorf took an alkaline bath for 9 hours! All this time she was reading or meditating. After the bath, she had wonderful skin and a wonderful feeling all over her body. And what was especially surprising for her: in nine hours, the skin did not wrinkle at all!
• After taking a bath, do not wash the body with a washcloth and detergent(soap, shampoo or gel), as well as rinse in the shower.
• To remove excess moisture from the body, simply blot it with a warm terry towel.
• After a soda bath, it’s good to lie down for about 30 minutes. In this case, wrap yourself up after the bath in a large towel or terry sheet. If you also cover yourself with a blanket, then the process of sweating may continue for some time. And then slags and toxins will continue to come out.

The course of taking such baths: every other day 10 times. You can repeat after 1-2 weeks. Already after the first bath, you can see a decrease in rashes, redness and peeling of the skin. The skin becomes smooth and satiny.

Soda baths for weight loss

Soda baths for weight loss have become very popular. After all, each of us wants to look slimmer, putting a minimum of effort into this. The effect of losing weight is achieved due to the fact that toxins and toxins are removed through sweat, and part of the fluid is also removed from the body. When a bath with baking soda is taken to get rid of extra pounds and centimeters, in addition to 500 g of soda, about 1000 g of large sea ​​salt purchased at a store or pharmacy.

Before taking a bath, it is advisable to warm up the body through physical exertion (for example, a short run or exercise). You can warm up the body by rubbing it with a brush with the addition of a soda-salt scrub. To ensure an anti-cellulite effect, it is worth adding a little essential oil to the bath, which provides this effect. Due to these oils, the effect of a slight weight reduction is also achieved.

Features of the use of essential oils for the bath

• Essential oils can be added in several ways:
  1. Take half a glass of warm milk and add 5-10 drops of oil
  2. Drop oil into a pack of soda, then dissolve the soda in hot water and pour it into the bath.
• What essential oils to add? Here I am not a big expert, so I can give recommendations from the Internet. I myself use tea tree oil most often, as I know its cleansing and antifungal effects.
• Recommended for weight loss and against cellulite citrus oils: lemon, grapefruit, orange, tangerine. It is very good to use geranium, rosemary, cypress oil.
  You can write a separate article on the effect of each of the oils on the body, so choose what you like.

From my own experience I can say that I do not observe the effect of reducing weight and volume from soda baths. Although I have been taking baths regularly for more than a year, it is true that I rarely add oils.

However, I like the effect of alkaline baths on the body as a whole.

Some of my clients have said that when they take soda baths, they feel like they are in a cocoon. And there is an explanation for this. At high level pH (and in a soda-salt bath it is at the level of 8.5), secretions from the sebaceous glands increase, that is, the skin is covered with a layer of fat. And the skin begins to repel water. There is a feeling that the body is inside a capsule, a cocoon.
