Many people associate visiting a sauna with health treatments. It is believed that visiting it has a positive effect on health and removes toxins.

But it is important to remember about contraindications.

Therapist Ekaterina Kabanenko told representatives of the publication “ Moscow 24” about this.

She noted that if a person is just showing signs of a cold, going to the bathhouse will help deal with the problem, but if the disease is at an active stage, there is a cough, fever, and a sore throat, then such leisure should be cancelled. Otherwise, the condition will worsen.

You shouldn't visit the bathhouse after a heavy lunch.

You shouldn't go there on an empty stomach either. About two hours before the procedure you can eat something light, for example, soup or salad. If you forget about this rule, you will feel dizzy and unwell.

It is forbidden to drink alcohol or tonic teas before or during the procedure. To maintain balance, choose herbal teas or pure water.
