Hardening will not cure you from the disease, but it will help to avoid infection and disease development. Hardening can be used to any person regardless of sexuality, age, as well as physical training.

Hardening is a procedure with the help of which it is fairly easy to increase the body's resistance to various infections, viruses and other packages.

There are several stages of hardening: wiping, pouring, cold shower, swimming in cold water and only then swimming in an ice-fruit. Today we will talk about the initial stage of hardening, namely, about how it is properly and without harm to health to carry out.

The main rules for conducting hardening the body by wiping:

1. The process of hardening is best started at the end of summer or at the beginning of autumn, when the air temperature during the day is approximately + 18-20ºС.

2. Washes begin to do with a towel, which is moistened in water temperature. After about a week, the water temperature can be reduced by 5 degrees.

3. After the procedure, do not forget to confuse the skin well, the drying towel.

4. Winning must be carried out in full compliance with the main rules of massage. Namely: your movements should be directed from the edge to the center. For example, to start wiping legs from foot, gradually moving to the thigh. Adhering to this rule, you will improve lymphotok and contribute to the best of the body.

5. If you use therapeutic champs during wiping, the solutions should be applied to the rigid vice brushing or with the help of hands (light massage movements). This is necessary so that the therapeutic elements of the decoctions and solutions are better penetrated inside.

Types of wiping and order of them:

Snow "Baths". Such wiping naturally should be carried out in the presence of a sufficient number of pure snow and in the absence of a strong wind. In order to start snow baths to begin with, you need to undress the belt. After that, take a snack of snow and wash your face and neck.

The following parts of the body, which should be watched by snow, will be a chest and stomach. The latter in turn are shoulders and hands. At the initial stage there will be 10-15 s (total time of procedure), for 12 days this time can be increased to 20-30 s.

Wasten in the sauna. When visiting the sauna, wiping can be carried out both before visiting the pair and after. Before visiting the steam room, apply for pre-cleaned skin therapeutic mixture (honey, herbal infusions, etc.). Then go to the double room for 5-15 minutes. (depending on the preparation of your body). During this time, the body will have time to absorb useful substances and.

As a final procedure for visiting a sauna, you can use contrast wiping. To do this, you will need a rigid terry towel and a large bowl with ice water. Moisten the towel in the water and vigorously wrap yourself up. During wiping, the towel will become warmer, and we will achieve the contrast of temperatures during wiping.

This wiping or kneading is done once a day in the morning when you get up from bed when the whole body is still warm. This procedure, as well as refreshes, cools, absolutely awakens from sleep, makes a person from the very beginning of the day, strong, vigorous. There may be no speech about the loss of time here because the full wiping is done in one minute and now you can take up work.

Washing the organism

It is best to make a wiping of the body as follows: take a coarse towel, wet it in cold water and start wiping from the chest and abdomen, then go to the back. It is impossible to give the rules how to wash your back, everyone knows himself, as it is more convenient. Finally, after that wipe hands and legs. This should "leave the most 2 minutes. Every wiping that continues more than this time can harm. It is necessary to ensure that there is no draft at this time. After that, quickly dress and make energetic movements until the whole body is warm.

Washing for patients

Apply in bed to harde the body of the patient. Start with the heat of water at 27-29 ° C and each subsequent wiping gradually decreases the temperature. With a strong heat, it is the most delicate of all procedures that are easily transferred to weak patients. In this case, the water is immediately taken cold from 20 to 26 ° C. A little vinegar add to the water. The patient is lifted, if it is weak, it is lifted, uroat a rough towel in cold water, moderately pressed and the uniform movements quickly wipe it first, and then chest, stomach and hands and cover the woven parts with a blanket. Many are recommended to do.

Then lift the blanket from the side of the legs, first wipe one leg, and then the other and cover the blanket. Washes are repeated until the body is cool to the touch. With strong increased temperatureEspecially when typhoid, these wipes play a major role, they replace full baths for weakened patients and wipes in wet sheets that they do not tolerate.

Trituration

The rubbing of its thermal action is much stronger than wiping or kneading, since in this case the entire body of the body is subjected to the action of the cold, which is experiencing a real concussion from such cold irritation, which is transmitted to the nervous centers of the head and spinal cord, exciting especially nerves regulating respiratory and heart movements.

Under the influence of cold blood vessels narrowed, and then under the influence of energetic trituration, the vessels are expanding again, and blood is distracted from the body's depths to the skin surface, which entails heating the skin, but, since it is surrounded by a cold wet sheet, then naturally gives a sheet of its heat, which begins too It is necessary to warm up and it is necessary to immerse it again into cold water or pour water from above. This rubbing acts with a strong heat and a strengthening manner with various kinds of diseases: lung diseases (emphysema, tuberculosis), heart disease, with kishki (diarrhea) and anemia.

Rubbing at temperature

With these diseases, the heat is not permitted, so water is taken at 17.2-27.5 degrees. Of course, at a severe temperature of the patient (40-41 grams.) The water is taken colder at 16-17 degrees.

Sometimes it is necessary to use the coldest (ice) - it is with the most terrible of disease - cholera, when in the last stage there is a decline of forks, the skin of the patient becomes pale, almost blue, and the body temperature falls below normal due to the fact that the blood stuck to the internal organs , Hence, strong diarrhea. In general, not only in rubbing, but also with other any water procedures, reduced temperature Its bodies must be preheated.

But when Holor, the procedure with water is no longer posed dependent on body temperature. When trying to save the patient, you need to take the coldest water. After rubbing a cholera patient, it is necessary to wrap in a few woolen blankets and still cover the fluff peril to cause sweat. If it succeeds, then the patient is saved. Since strong irritation of the nerves of the entire body is associated with wet-cold rubbing, this procedure is not applicable where there is an increased painful irritability of nerves in a patient, with severe neurasthenia, psychosis and atherosclerosis, in which the increase in blood pressure, with internal inflammations of various organs and bleeding.

I think that by itself it is clear that after this procedure, the patient falls into bed again, and healthy dressed and make energetic movements in the air or at home. You can drink or. I want to supplement that we can regulate this procedure to regulate the amount of treated heat by weak or strong disintegration of the sheet.

The sheet with which water flows, takes more heat than the sheet, well pressed. The thin sheet takes less heat than coarse thick. If the skin is too sensitive, gentle and irritable, you need to take more subtle sheets.

Rubbing techniques

To perform the reception, it is necessary to have: Assistant, water bucket with a certain temperature, a small rug or a straw mat, two sheets from a coarse thick linen of the biggest sizes.

The procedure is made as follows: the patient becomes in a large basin, at the bottom of which is a litter, to him. Cool the head, putting a wet towel on it, and a wet hand is pre-cooled with a neck and back. You can make acceptance using

The assistant takes a slightly sprinkled sheet and puts it in front of the winding one, the patient presses her with his right hand, spends her across his chest and through the left armpit, the patient presses her with his left hand, having spent through her back, pulls her sheet to the right shoulder and crossing her Right shoulder, again imposes her on the chest, then on top of the left shoulder again displays a sheet on the back and lays the tip under the sheet near the neck so that he keeps well.

We must try to make all the wrapping smoothly and without folds, only in this case the body quickly and evenly heats up during rubbing. It all needs to be done very quickly. To do this, it is necessary to practice in advance on healthy people in order not to lose expensive time in the clock of danger and not risking the closer to the wrong production of this reception, which will only lead the patient into a state of strong excitement and the entire effect will be reduced. useful use water. At the end of the wrapping, the helper face begins to rub, making fast, energetic movements up and down throughout the body, speeding up the pace.

First handle breasts, stomach and back, then neck, shoulders and hands and at the end of the leg. The duration of the whole procedure should not exceed more than 3-5 minutes. And should end now, as soon as the whole body becomes warm to the touch. Remove the wet sheet and thrust dry and rub again on it.

Hello everyone! Article "Hardening cold water For beginners "about the most important for the health of each of us - about the development of immunity.

1. Equalization of the body is the strengthening of the immune system.

Today we will talk about how to start hardening with cold water. As soon as autumn comes and we begin to sneeze and cough, many immediately rush to the pharmacy for antiviral drugs and vitamins. After all, everyone knows that the immune system of our organism is responsible for persistence to a cold and it must be strengthened.

It's no secret that the human immune system can be trained just like muscles. It is only necessary to choose a working technique to which it belongs to cold water. Many have heard of doubling and wiping, that "walruses", swimming in winter in the hole, almost do not hurt.

A couple of years ago, a story was held on television about the Belarusian kindergarten, where the preschoolers barely were charged in the snow. It seems that such stories should have calmed those who are afraid of cold from such procedures, but those who want to tempt are not added.

In this article I want to talk about my own experience, which helped strengthen health, as well as about some basic methods.

Hardening is an impact on our body alternately cold and heat. The correct start of hardening is the same alternations, but with a small difference in temperatures.

2. The benefits and harm of hardening

I remember how a friend recommended a relative for the prevention of a cold, run every day in the snow or dew around the house. What was afraid to catch a cold, but the authority of man was so strong that he tried - and almost forgot about her throat.

Another friend said, as the doctor's council began to harde the throat, eating every day a portion of ice cream - and cured chronic tonsillitis. Such examples were pushed to the idea that it was worth collecting together information about how it is useful to harden and how it can damage to a person. But first I want to remind what testimony and contraindications to this exist.

Rule number 1 is the main:

To determine if you can harden with water, consult a doctor.

• - purulent chronic otitis, sharp inflammation of the upper respiratory tract;
• - severe diseases of the cardiovascular system with decompensation symptoms;
• - inflammation of the central and peripheral nervous system;
• - severe diseases of the endocrine system (diabetes mellitus, thyrotoxicosis);
• - active tuberculosis, inflammation of the lungs bronchial asthma;
• - venereal diseases;
• - severe post-governing scars on the skin;
• - aggravation of inflammation gastrointestinal tract (cholecystitis, ulcerative disease).

But even a completely healthy person cannot be started to begin water procedures, if he has a coronary vascular spasm, there is impaired thermoregulation with vegetative manifestations, cramps in the muscles of the leg muscles, cold allergies.

There are no direct testimony for hardening the body, it is carried out only at the request of a person. But in the event that you want to start pouring a child with water, you need to monitor such indicators:

• - mood (from cheerful to depressed);
• - well-being (from vigorous to general weakness);
• - fatigue (from normal to constant fatigue);
• - appetite (from good to complete absence);

- Sleep (from calm to constant excitement and sleep disorders). If the kid does not react poorly to procedures for these indicators, you need to reduce their duration or stop completely. Hardening children can be started almost from birth and first bathings, but it must be done systematically, very slowly increase the duration of the influence of cold and better turn the procedure into the game.

3. Summer story

For a long time, people thought about how to make their body stronger and resistant to serious conditions of the surrounding world. In the ancient Rome and Greece there was a cult of a beautiful body - the whole lifestyle In these cultures, it was aimed at raising strong and healthy members of society.

In Sparta, newborns with defects were discharged from the rocks, and boys were forced to always walk barefoot and almost without clothes to make them more resistant.

IN Ancient India Brahmin hardening was part of their religious education along with the ability to fully control their body, and the water was considered a medicine almost from all diseases.

It was no less popular hardening among Jews, Chinese and Egyptians - in any culture you can find the descriptions of water procedures to promote health.

And in Russia for a long time practiced the rubbing of snow or bathing in the river in summer or in winter. But to this day another no less well-known way - a bath, where hot steam is combined with bathing in cool water. The bath contributes to the purification of the body, helping to remove toxins from it through the sweat, stimulates the work internal organs.

At the end of the 20th century, Ivanov's recovery was popular, which offered twice a day to swim in the nearest river or walk barefoot through the snow. He also told than useful for men and women not only bathing in the cold, but also a refusal of bad habits and starvation one day a week. His technique found a lot of followers at that time, but over time, we have been forgotten about it.

Although it is believed that the pouring on the Ivanov system comes up with everyone from any age, but twice a day to swim in cold water, including in the winter, no one will be able to bother without preparation.

4. Hardening the body with cold water for beginners

4.1 Basic rules for beginners

Newcomers need to be understood , how to properly start the procedures, because it is impossible to simply decide that tomorrow you begin to swim every day in the corner - and the body will easily accept it. The best season for beginners when you can try to get used to the cold - summer, and start pouring It is better with simple washing in the morning with cold water. Before starting cold pouring, you need to remember a few simple rules:

- To use the procedures, you can only do them. healthy people, after influenza or colds, it is better to wait for 2-3 months;

• - You need to repeat them every day, because the entire positive effect may disappear from the interruptions;
• - Acqualce to cold the body must be gradually;
• - a person must have a good state of health if weakness or indisposition appeared - it is necessary to stop everything;
• - advise you in advance with your doctor about your health and check if the cold will hurt him;
• - Better to engage in some sport to enhance the strengthening effect.

Start better from a contrasting shower or dialing individual parts of the body, such as legs. And some experts believe that the correct start of water hardening is wiping with a wet towel with the subsequent rubbing of the skin dry. I will stop more on the main techniques.

4.2 Dumping cool water

4.2.1 Basic rules for pouring

The most popular method is mowing with cool water.

But the dumping with cold water is not enough for beginners, it is better to start with wiping.

It happens both shared and local. For the first important, not only the water temperature, but also the air in the room is: it must be no less than 23-25 \u200b\u200b° C. Water on the first day is heated to 36 ° C, and reduce slowly - at 1 ° C per week, bringing to cool (18 ° C). Obligations can be replaced by the same cool shower that can be taken 2-3 minutes per day.

Before starting the velves, you should remember a number of important rules:

• - Do not pour water on the head due to the risk of a sharp narrowing of the vessels;
• - It is not necessary to start with a sharp dummy with cold water, it is necessary to get used to the coolness gradually;
• - the babies and old men should not be lifted over themselves with water, so they must resort to the help of outsiders;
• - You need to avoid any drafts in the doubling room;
• - At any water temperature, a person should not have discomfort.

If there are contraindications for general velves, you can make local hardening of the legs.

It has a reflex effect on the whole body. Particularly useful contrast displacement with a change of warm water (36 s), on the cool (20-25 ° C). To finish this impact, you need to rub the feet with a dry towel or a good massage.

4.2.2 Child pouring

In this way, it is good to harde the children, once a month, increasing the gap of temperatures per degree until it is 15-20 ° C. The main thing is to make the procedure regularly and not forget - if the pause in hardening is very big, you will have to start first.

In children, this hardening is better to turn into an interesting game to cause a positive attitude and a common good reaction. For the first time, this can be done in a warm water with a ladle from a bucket for half a minute.

Its temperature must be at least 36-37 ° C for the first time, and it is necessary to reduce it very slowly - by 1 degree in 1-2 week, gradually aroused up to 28 ° C.

It is impossible to start with a liquid even room temperature, it is easier to make a contrast shower, in which the difference between warm and cool water will be no more than 4 degrees. For example, if the soul comfort area is 36-38 degrees, and make a contrasting 34-32 ° C.

Cold and hot shower

4.3 Waste Wet Towel

4.3.1 than to rub

Another method is wiping with a wet towel. First you need to wet a large terry towel in the water temperature of 35-36 ° C, and then wipe the whole body to them. After that, the skin is triggered by a dry towel to the expansion of capillaries and easy redness. The temperature is reduced by one degree per day and bring up to 10 ° C.

For wiping, except towels, a wet sponge or a soft bike glove, which is wrapped in rather warm water (on the first day - 32 ° C). It is better to start with wipe hands, then move onto your back and stomach and finish your feet. The body is triturated within 2 minutes, and then wipe dry to easy redness of the skin and feeling the tide of heat to it. Subsequently, the temperature reduces 1 ° C every day, bringing to 18 ° C.

4.3.2 Snow wiping

If you decide to hide snow, then it needs to be brought to a room in a bucket or a basin, and then wander the body for 15 seconds. At the same time, the first hand wipe the face, the second - chest And the belly, the third - shoulders, the fourth - hands. Gradually, time can be brought to 30 seconds. In a couple of weeks, it will be possible to grow even on the street if the body's reaction on the procedure is good.

4.3.3 Washing children

Little children rub first recommended by a dry towel so that the baby does not have in the future fear before the procedure. It is better to start with legs and hands, and then rub the torso. After a couple of days, you can take a wet towel, the water temperature for which should be 36 ° C for the first time.

Then it is gradually reduced (at 1 ° C in 5 days), bringing to 28 ° C. The duration of the procedure cannot exceed 2 minutes, it is recommended to make it kids, starting from 2-4 months. If the child has rashes, chills, diarrhea, exacerbation of colds, wipes better stop.

4.3.4 Local wins

4.3.4.1 Washes of foot

Local rubbing is usually hardened legs, it is recommended when frequent diseases The throat for reflex exposure. For this leg, the knees are triturated with a cool wet towel for 3 minutes, and then wipe dry.

Start with a temperature of 37 ° C, then reducing on a degree per week, adjust to 28 ° C. This technique is used to prepare for foot baths, at which the first temperature is also 37 ° C, it is made for 6-8 minutes, and then, reducing it on a degree per week, adjust to 14 ° C.

Wasten

4.3.4.2 Washing Stop

You can start from hardening the stop, which is useful for those who often hurt the throat. I would like to clarify what this method gives: the cooling of the feet causes the reflex narrowing of the almonds of the pharynx almonds, causing a violation of local immunity, and can contribute to its inflammation.

And warming stop gives blood flow not only to them, but also to the throat, improving the work of the lymphatic system. By making contrasting dials, our legs are more resistant to such stress as cold, we will automatically protect yourself from a cold.

It is possible to start pouring the stops with warm water (25-28 ° C), reducing the temperature of 1 ° C per month, bringing to 13-15 ° C. After each drenching, scroll the skin on the legs with a towel until reddening and the feeling of heat.

Hardening stop - pleasant with useful

4.4 What gives a cool bath

This is a longer, and much stronger on the effects of the technique, which means it can only start it by those who have no contraindications. If you do not decide to start with a shared bath, you can make local, for example for legs , what is useful and no less efficient.

To do this, take a bucket or pelvis to be able to immelerate not only the feet, but also the legs to the knees. Start from water 28-30 ° C, reducing it on a degree per week, for kids up to 3 years it should not be lowered below 20 ° C, for children under 5 years old - 18 ° C. The procedure in children spend 15-30 seconds, adults can be in cool water 2-4 minutes.

Shared baths at 38 ° C are even recommended even a newborn, if it is warm water to pour, it can be taken up to 12 minutes. With this procedure, not only reduce the temperature of the degree in 5 days, bringing to 30 ° C, but also reduce the duration of staying in it up to 6 minutes.

You can learn bathing in a river or lake in a warm season. Up to 3 years old should not do this, but after reaching this age, they are often taken to the beach.

It is worth remembering that it is allowed to release a child only when the air temperature is above 25 ° C, and water - 23 ° C. But then it is impossible to allow children to sit in the water more than 15-20 minutes, since then they risk cold.

4.5 Rinsebling Gore

Not quite traditional local downtry is a rinse of the throat, which helps to make the body more resistant to many infections. First, they are set to warm water - 40 ° C, gradually reducing it to 1 degree every 3 days. It is brought to 15 ° C to children, and adults can be lowered to 10 ° C.

Such rinsing helps to significantly reduce the number of exacerbations. chronic tonsillita and pharyngitis. To strengthen its action, drug herbs with anti-inflammatory effect (chamomile, nettle, calendula or hypership) are added to the water (chamomile), as well as sea salt or a few drops of iodine.

Over time, the rinse can be replaced by resorption in the mouth of ice cubes of this size so that one cube is enough for about half a minute. For taste and greater use instead of ice use frozen juice. Already wrote about the recommendations of some doctors about ice cream, but not every mother risks recoup it regularly.

But it is possible to try with one teaspoon per day, gradually increasing its amount on half a teaspoon per day until one portion gets. Ice cream and frozen fruit juice Even adults are ready to eat all year round, however, compotes and yogurts from the refrigerator are also an option. However, it is necessary to get used to such cold to gradually and do not use cold food and drinks after strong overheating.

The body is strengthened by not constant cold, but contrasts, and therefore the throat should be accustomed to changing the temperature regimes so as not to earn an angina, drinking ice water in the heat. For this, contrast rinsing are well suited, at which warm and cold water are used simultaneously. At first, the throat is wedged with warm, then cold and finish must be warm, and the contrasting difference also increase gradually.

Contraindications for throat rinsing - first of all, age up to 3 years, when a child does not know how to exhale air through the water and can choke.

If he does not want to rinse the throat - it is better not to force, because hardening should not cause discomfort from him. It is impossible to start the procedure when a man is sick cold illness Or has

5. Extreme techniques

5.1 Hardening for Grebenkina

In addition to Ivanova, many authors offered their hardening methods that can be recommended not to everyone. For example, Grebenkin advised everyone who over 3 years old, to immerse in cold water for 10-15 seconds, and then leave without clothes outdoors for another 5 minutes without rubbing and warming so that the body himself coped with cold. After all, adrenaline stands out and after a couple of minutes a man feels a tide of the heat and vigor.

And recently, in the speeches of the famous Dr. Komarovsky, there were words that the hardening of the effect would not bring if the whole lifestyle, ranging from food and ending with walks in the fresh air, does not comply with generally accepted recommendations.

5.2 Hardening after sauna and bath

Not quite traditional, but the use with a strengthening goal of the sauna or Russian bath remains fairly effective. The sauna uses a contrast effect of hot steam (70-90 ° C) and cold water In the pool (3-20 ° C), or even rubbing snow in winter.

Starting to go to the sauna with parents a child can since 3 years. For the first time, you can only go to the sauna with a temperature not higher than 80 ° C for only 5 minutes, and then you should cool, in the future such approach can be up to 3, and you can visit the sauna 1 time per week.

In the bath, too, everything is based on contrasts: first the body is warmed up, then it is cooled at about the same intervals, and then the rest, which should last as much as the first two stages.

For the first time, it is not necessary to warm up in the bath for more than 3-5 minutes, and cooling is desirable to do in the form of cold poultry, and only over time to move to a cold soul or swimming in the corner. After regular visits, the number of visits to the steam room is adjusted to 5, and the time of staying in it is up to 5-10 minutes.

To get hot steam, in the Russian bath water is poured into hot stones, but for a health effect instead, heralds are often used medicinal herbal (Linden, chamomile, oak, mint, birch, sage or eucalyptus).

Little children up to 3-5 years are rarely taking into common baths because of the risk to infect infectious or fungal diseases, but if it is a private polarm, then they can be taken there after the first year of life.

5.3 Snow Charging

Perhaps the most unconventional method remains snow hardening. This refers not only to thinning with snow, but also walking on a barefoot.

The main thing is that it is clean and covered not asphalt, but the earth. If the ice crust appeared on the snow, or the street was cold below 10 degrees of frost, it's not worth starting walking.

But on your own experience I know that you can try without any preparation. True, the first time I recommend running in the snow no more than a minute, moreover, it is pretty quickly, and then you need to return to the warm room, put on woolen socks and actively walk in them around the room before the feeling of heat feelings.

5.4 Morning

This kind of winter bathing has always stood especially and remained using the elected method. It is written very much on it - and about the benefits, and the harm, the disputes do not subside until now. But those who weighed everything and decided to try to wallery, it is worth knowing something about him.

When swimming in cold water, the body loses a lot of energy, but allocates adrenaline, which helps to increase blood circulation, and also improves thermoregulation and immunity. However, it is not necessary to think that "walruses" never get sick - they just count more.

It is not necessary to dive with your head at all, although experienced "winds" with ease do it. This technique improves the overall condition of the body, but does not strengthen the muscles, in contrast to the usual swimming, so those who want to pump up muscles, it is advisable to do some other sport.

There is a myth that "walkers" for warming necessarily use alcoholic beverages, but just they can cause the support of the respiratory tract and cold.

Before plunge into icewaterIt is recommended to make intense gymnastics for warming, but no other preparation, especially the cold shower is not necessary. With severe frosts, it is necessary that there was a warm room next to the bathing place where you can warm up.

You can swim in cold water with deep autumn to early spring, because even in winter it is not lower than + 4 ° C, but it is not worth dipping into the sea - there -2 ° C below zero. There are many contraindications to the molding, to neglect which it should not be at all - it can only worsen well-being.

Contraindications for molding: severe diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine and urogenital system with decompensation phenomena.

It is possible to climb into cold water only after cold dialing, which will teach the body to it. A week to dive into a hole is allowed no more than 3 times, and when symptoms of any diseases appear, you need to immediately consult a doctor.

I hope my advice will be useful to those who often suffer a cold and want to strengthen their health, and in the following blog articles I will tell you about other methods of hardening.

And now "Cognitive film about molding and hardening":

Today we talked to the topic: "Hardening the body with cold water for beginners." How did you like the article? If so, you will definitely share it in social networksSubscribe to the blog update and wait for the continuation.

Hello, dear readers! You probably know that wiping can be applied with different goals. In the same article, consider the possibility of using it to harde the body. This type of hardening is considered to be the most gentle, but wiping should not be considered one-sided. There really exist methods that are shown even to infants, but there are those that not every adult can overcome without being prepared in advance.

5 types of wipes used for the purpose of hardening:

1. Dry wiping
2. Snow wiping
3. Wiping the ice of the body
4. Hot wiping (wiping hot towel)

Now in more detail about each of them and how to properly disappear each type.

Dry wiping every day

First of all, it is an excellent effect on skin. Dry rubbing has a peeling effect, provides a good influx of blood in the field of exposure, thereby helps to enter a larger amount of oxygen in the right places. Impacting in the field of hips, contributes to the active combination of cellulite.

Linen towels or napkins can be used for dry wipes. Special brushes with genuine and artificial bristles are also used.

Moves are made circular, clockwise. It is better to start with a stop towards the body, then with the brushes to the shoulders. Make special emphasis in the field of armpits, knees and neck. Here closely occurring blood and lymphatic vessels and efficiency will be more tangible. Wiping is not a massage, so by-effect From the impact of wiping on these areas, you can not be afraid.

Dry wiping is carried out 2 times a day for 7-10min. To achieve a pronounced result, it will be necessary for 3 months. Each movement must be repeated 10-14 times. At the end of the procedure, it is recommended to take a warm or contrasting shower and grasp the skin with cosmetic milk or replace with any vegetable oil, for example, olive, peach, from grape seeds ...

Absolute contraindications does not have the method, only some inflammatory skin diseases accompanied by a thread.

Dry and wet wet by a towel

This is a fairly common hardening method, which has a pronounced strengthening effect. It helps to eliminate skin wagges, remove old skin cells, improve blood and lymph circulation.

Before holding, you need to prepare two towels and utensils with cool water. For the first time, 37 degrees are enough. One towel is well wetted and starting rubbing from the head to the legs. After wiping a wet towel, it is worth losing dry dry. So the procedure is repeated several times, gradually lowering degrees. When the water does not seem cold, you can not wipe, but to be lost dry towel or even with your hands. After a couple of minutes, the feeling of heat in the whole body appears. This speaks good effect.

The method is similar to contrast shower. It also helps to launch the hidden protective properties of the body. It can be used daily in the morning and in the evening, explicit contraindications does not have an ordering method.

Snow wiping

The method is the most "extreme" and is recommended enough to prepare people for hardening. Ancient times in Russia wiping the snow was part of bath procedures. The combination of heat and cold gives "shake" for the whole organism, a special impact on the cardiovascular and nervous system. In addition, the procedure contributes to fat burning, improving thermoregulation, increase muscle tone.

Going out to the street in moderately frosty weather, the body takes and air, and snow bath. Walking is only a soft snow that recently dropped. The "old" snow can damage the skin, as there are quite large ice crystals in it. Washing is carried out by circular motions, it is desirable along massage lines. A hardened person can be carried out a procedure for 5-7min, and a newcomer and 1 minutes are sufficient. In general, the body must tell itself when enough. Just the procedure ceases to bring pleasure and the feeling of euphoria is lost.

Unfortunately, the method is not suitable for everyone. This particularly concerns those who often sick and never hardened, not so long ago transferred surgery or severe illness.

Wiping the ice of the body

Ice must be prepared in a special way. Initially, you need to gain enough snow and melt it. Then the resulting water is slightly frozen so that the thin layer of ice from above appears. It is separated and thrown out. The rest of the water can be poured through small containers in the form of a cube. Such a form of ice is more convenient to carry out. Snow water has the right structure, and in its composition a lot of useful salts.

Living in a major megalopolis, not everyone can afford to use pure snowy water, and in the summer it is desirable to continue the procedure. The exit from this situation may be the use of tap water, which before freezing should be skipped through the filter. Next also slightly freeze and remove the top layer of ice.

In addition, water can be insisted on special stones. An excellent option is quartz water. It has a beneficial effect on the entire body as a whole, normalizing biochemical processes in the skin, removes toxins and nourishes their useful substances. Stones are washed and 3l. Water add 200-300gr. Stones, insist 3-4 days. In the frozen state, water enhances the effect, due to hardening and special treatment properties.

Minting water on flint stones has a pronounced antibacterial and regenerating property. Ice cooked on such water stimulates the body for rejuvenation. Wiping helps to clean the skin and smooth wrinkles. It is necessary to insist on silica at least 7 days.

The ice made from infused on the shungite of water has a high medical and prophylactic property. First of all, this stone sterilizes water and fills it with mineral salts. For good infusion requires about 3 days. Water for freezing to merge should be neatly not plowing the precipitate.

When conducting the flow procedure, there must be circular and smooth, without excessive pressure. The technique helps to relax, get a pleasant sensation and benefit. The skin becomes softer, its mechanical cleansing occurs, the wrinkles are smoothed, and the epidermis is completely moistened with the unique composition of snowy water. After you can be confused with a towel and take a warm shower.

You can enhance the action of the procedure by adding medicinal herbs. To do this, in the snow water poured herbal infusion, at the rate of 0.5 liters of water 150-200gr., Freshly prepared infusion.

All brazers act on the skin in different ways. For example, ice from mint and the donon is helping to improve blood circulation, removes the sclerotic redness of the vessels, eliminates rash. Ice from the plantain is useful when bold leatherAnd if it is peeling, a field hat will help. To refund the skin, elasticity and freshness should be applied to wip citrus ice. If the pores are expanded, ice from viburnum will help them to narrow them and parallel the skin.

After such wipes, it is not necessary to immediately take a shower. Better to enable the resulting moisture to absorb.

Hot wiping

For the procedure, you will need:

• your choice: cotton mitten or small towel, or just a piece of fabric
• tase with hot water.

Sleep the mittens into the water, slightly squeeze and lose the whole body. Time of procedure from 1-2 minutes. until half an hour.

The secret of this hardening is that due to the difference of temperatures, body and water, it quickly evaporates. So water takes a certain amount of heat from the surface of the skin and cools it. The procedure is carried out in a dry room for a better effect of evaporation. For the prevention of hypothermia, it is necessary to enjoy intensively. Start the procedure is with the hands, reaching the shoulders. Next, gradually expand the influence zone. There is no effect of cold shock, therefore, the technique is mild and, to some extent soothing.

Like all the hardening methods, wiping requires sequence and systematic. Before choosing a way, you must consult with your doctor. This is especially true for hardening in childhood And people with weakened immunity.

Health to you!
