A broom in the bath allows vacationers to relax, stimulates blood circulation, has an antimicrobial effect, but in order to use it as efficiently as possible, you should carefully consider its choice. The public news service figured out which broom is best for a bath.
Brooms can be made from different types of wood, and each variety has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let’s take a closer look at the most popular types.
Birch
A birch broom is the best option for a bath. The leaves of this tree include vitamins A and C, essential oils and tannins, which are released when heated and destroy germs in the room. The birch broom is capable of:
prevent lung disease; raise the tone; activate blood circulation; remove puffiness; improve skin color; smooth out wrinkles.
Oak
Oak broom also has a lot of useful substances, but it is especially appreciated by women with oily skin. Also, the substances included in oak leaves help relieve inflammation on the skin and heal old wounds. An oak product will be useful for people suffering from high blood pressure, for athletes and those who are a lot of nervous.
Compared to a birch broom, an oak broom gives more steam, but it is heavier in weight, so it is less convenient to use.
Lime
It is customary to use a linden broom when visiting a bath in the winter, as it is able to boost immunity, which is so important during the absence of natural vitamins. Linden also treats insomnia and cephalalgia. Connoisseurs prefer after relaxing in a steam room with a linden broom to drink a decoction of linden to feel like a healthy person.
Coniferous
Coniferous brooms are distinguished by their density and rigidity, so they are not suitable for everyone. These products should be avoided by people with delicate skin or diseases of the epidermis. In terms of comfort, these brooms also have no advantages, as they can scratch even rough skin.

But brooms from cedar, fir and spruce have a positive effect in the treatment of lung diseases, tuberculosis, and some neurological conditions. Also, the advantages of coniferous brooms are their indescribable aroma and the ability to prepare them yourself at any time of the year.

If you suffer from sciatica, back pain or gout, then give preference to needles, nettles, junipers. With frequent headaches, a linden broom is more suitable.
