The temperature should not exceed 35°C. The bath lasts 20 minutes, followed by 15-minute pack. The correctly performed bath usually causes fine skin flare. The healing effect is achieved by strong closure of the skin after the bath, which slows down heart activity, reduces blood pressure and heart stress. The bath is ideal for general relaxation.
