What is a bubble bath - a marketing ploy or a procedure beneficial to the human body? Today we will try to answer this question, and also tell you what benefits it brings and whether it has any contraindications.

Pearl baths: what does it mean?

If you are at a resort, you may be offered a bubble bath. There is no need to rejoice - you won’t be able to soak in real pearls. A bubble bath is a type of jacuzzi. With its help, a healing hydromassage is performed. This is a very useful procedure, especially for the musculoskeletal system.

It is carried out in a bathtub with a grate installed at the bottom. Through this grate, water is supplied into the container under high pressure, at a temperature of about 36 degrees. Passing through the grate, the liquid turns into small bubbles. These bubbles massage the human body.

When they rise to the surface, they resemble small pearls. This is where the name of the procedure came from - pearl bath.

Reference! A bubble bath is a type of massage using water bubbles filled with air.

How to go through the procedure correctly

You should not undergo treatment after eating, but the procedure should not be carried out on an empty stomach. The best option is two hours after eating.

Whether or not a swimsuit is needed depends on the specific location, so it is advisable to find out about this in advance.

There are several general recommendations, following which you can get the maximum benefit:

1. Before the procedure, you must take a shower.
2. The temperature of the liquid should be monitored during the process. It should not rise above 36 degrees - this is the most comfortable temperature for the human body.
3. On the day of treatment, refrain from active physical activity.
4. After completing the procedure, you need to relax as much as possible for at least one hour.
5. You should spend no more than 20 minutes in the water.

At first, treatment should be carried out only under the supervision of a specialist.

Observe the body's reaction. For the procedures to be beneficial, you must complete the full course of treatment, which is at least three weeks.

Add a few drops of essential oil to the water for a relaxing effect. For example, you can use lavender oil: it has not only relaxing but also calming properties.

After completing the procedure, use essential oil, moisturizer, lotion, and body milk. After a massage, the active substances included in cosmetic preparations are better absorbed into the skin.
