Welcome to Smart Wellness Banya

What are the benefits of Russian banya?

The healing power of steam has a positive impact on the whole body, as well as its

separate systems.

 

For the skin

 

The benefits of a Russian banya for the skin are obvious. Hot steam expands pores

and improves tissue regeneration. In such conditions, masks and scrubs are significantly

more effective. Increased blood and lymph circulation nourishes and saturates tissues

with oxygen. The moist hot air in the steam room cleanses, restores and

rejuvenates skin. The functioning of the sweat and sebaceous glands is normalized.

It makes your skin more elastic and helps you get rid of dry, flaky skin cells.

 ​

For the cardiovascular system

Blood vessels expand, blood pressure normalizes and blood stasis is removed. You

strengthen your cardiac muscle through enhanced blood flow and an increased frequency

of contractions.

​

For the respiratory organs

Visiting the steam room induces the relaxation of the respiratory muscles. The increased temperature in banya has a beneficial effect on the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract. The bronchi expand, nasal and throat swelling reduces, blood is enriched with oxygen, and air exchange in the alveoli is activated.​​

​

For the musculoskeletal system

The impact of banya on muscle health is undeniable. Exposure to steam at temperatures of 50–70 degrees is beneficial for fatigued muscles. The heat eliminates the lactic acid that has accumulated in them. Good results can be achieved using fir or birch whisks. Visiting the steam room is very valuable for ligaments and tendons. It helps restore the structure of collagen fibers. Massage with sauna whisks reduces swelling and eliminates salt deposits.

 

For the nervous system

The rush of blood to the epidermis temporarily reduces its supply to the brain. This helps relieve nervous tension and makes you relaxed. The cortisol level (stress hormone) decreases.

 

For the endocrine system

Banya also benefits the health of the internal secretion glands. Stimulation of the pituitary gland has a positive impact on regulating the activity of the adrenal glands, thyroid, ovaries, and prostate.

Increased sweating contributes to a fast activation of the production of gland secretions, mobilization of the body's defense functions, removal of decay products, and acceleration of metabolism. Regulation of protein metabolism leads to the normalization of blood pressure and digestion.

For digestion and metabolism

Cellular metabolism improves with increased blood and lymphatic system activity. Cells become saturated with oxygen and nutrients.

The products of oxidative processes are successfully eliminated through skin pores and lungs. Getting rid of toxins restores proteins involved in cell structure.

​​

Relief of chronic pain

 

Russian banya is recommended for reducing pain sensations associated with:

radiculitis; gout; headaches; osteochondrosis; scoliosis;

rheumatism; arthritis; arthrosis; ankylosis; myopathies; myositis.

 ​

Memory and logic enhancement

 

When resting, the brain is recharging and it switches to regeneration mode. The information in it gets organized, improving memory and attention span.

According to scientific research, regular visits to banya lower the risks of dementia and improve memory activation and thought processes.

​

Immunity boost.

​

After only 5 minutes spent in banya leukocyte levels in the blood rise, indicating that the immune system functions properly. The habit of regularly visiting banya builds resistance to colds and viruses.
