Ideally, the weight loss method is relaxing and a lot of fun. And it’s even more wonderful if, in addition to everything else, it improves health. If you think that you won’t find similar weight loss techniques during the day, you are mistaken. There is such a cedar barrel: it eliminates cellulite, makes you healthy, and provides relaxation. The only question is how effective it really is.

What is a phytobarrel and what does weight loss have to do with it?

Previously, the main purpose of wooden barrels was to store wine or vegetables for pickling. Over time, the real need for such containers disappeared. After all, wine from barrels has become the lot of only rich people. The opportunity to buy winter supplies in stores led to the fact that even rural residents became lazy and stopped paying special attention to supplies for the cold season. What should skilled coopers do under such conditions? The solution to the problem was an “artificial” increase in demand for herbal barrels for weight loss. And now a simple barrel made of wood is not just a container, but an “effective” body shaping tool.

If you abandon the emphasized skepticism, then the phyto-barrel actually helps you lose weight. But you should not expect that all fat accumulations will instantly disappear after several procedures. It is enough to get acquainted with this method of weight loss and understand how it really works.

Visiting rules and essence of the procedure

Cedar barrel is a procedure that is actively used for the prevention and treatment of various diseases, combating excess weight and cleansing the body. Under the influence of steam, pores expand and cleanse, excess fluid is removed from the body, the functioning of the nervous system is normalized, blood vessels dilate, skin condition improves and metabolism is stabilized.

Before use, the barrel is warmed up and filled with herbal vapors. The steaming process lasts from 10 to 20 minutes (depending on health status and personal preferences). After each visit, the cabin must be treated with a disinfectant.

Both adults and children (over three years old) can take a steam bath..

But to ensure that procedures aimed at improving health do not harm the body, certain rules must be followed:

1. Before steaming, you need to take a shower (this will speed up sweating and the removal of toxins).
2. You should not eat large amounts of food before the procedure (it causes nausea and dizziness, and negatively affects the functioning of the heart).
3. The seat and footrest should be covered with a towel or sheet (to avoid burns from contact with heated surfaces).
4. Wrap the towel tightly around your neck (keeps steam inside the cabin).
5. Take a comfortable position in which the muscles are completely relaxed.
6. Do not exceed the permissible procedure time.
7. If discomfort occurs, stop the procedure immediately.

A massage with essential oils will help to consolidate the result obtained during the procedure, and if the purpose of visiting a cedar barrel is to lose weight, it can be replaced with a wrap.

Important! To enhance the effect of visiting the cedar steam room, it is recommended to first work out on exercise machines or perform simple physical exercises, and then drink a glass of herbal tea.

Real possibilities of phyto-barrels for weight loss

Procedures in a cedar barrel can replace a visit to the sauna. At least partially. Accordingly, for weight loss, a phyto-barrel helps about as well as going to the bathhouse. What are its main advantages? You can make your figure better using a phyto-barrel for the following reasons.

1. Removing excess fluid. Warming the body causes the excess water accumulated in the cells to be eliminated. Because of this, with the systematic use of such a “tool” you can protect yourself from swelling. And its absence helps you look a little better.
2. Prevention of cellulite. High air and body temperatures also accelerate lymph flow. Blood circulation increases, the efficiency of supplying the skin with nutritional components increases. Under such conditions, the risk of cellulite appears less. The cedar barrel contributes to this.
3. Improving the functioning of the digestive system. There are several reasons leading to improved digestion. When using a phyto-barrel, the level of general intoxication of the body decreases (people say “toxins come out”). Cellular metabolism increases, vapors of essential oils enter the bloodstream, and so on. The body as a whole begins to work better, but this is especially noticeable in the example of the gastrointestinal tract.

This is, in fact, all the benefits of phyto-barrels for weight loss. The advertising, of course, claims its ability to literally burn fat. But this is just a marketing ploy. Fat burning does not occur when using a cedar barrel. But there are a lot of accompanying beneficial effects.
The cardiovascular system is strengthened, the nerves are calmed, and the skin is cleansed. All this is a real benefit from procedures in a phyto-barrel. But weight loss, as you can see, will not be particularly intense.

Reviews

Victoria from Nizhny Novgorod:

I work as a tour guide, so I'm busy on weekends. On weekdays I often sit at home and decided to take care of my body. To begin with, I started going to the gym. The muscles tightened, but the weight remained in place. My trainer advised me to go visit a phyto-barrel. After the first session I managed to lose 400 grams. Subsequent procedures showed more modest results, but the main thing is that the kilograms left me. In addition, it is very pleasant to steam after a strenuous workout: the muscles relax and the body rests.

Polina from Moscow:

I started my fight against fat with diets. Everyone knows that if you eat little, you lose pounds. But, unfortunately, none of the diets suited me. The pills for those who want to lose weight made me dizzy and nauseous. There was no time for sports. I found out about the phyto-barrel and decided to buy it. Not to say that I have lost weight, but the steam pleasantly relaxes and tightens the skin. Therefore, it is better to first try the method in a spa salon, and then decide on its purchase.

Olga from Yekaterinburg:

I didn’t have any particular problems with weight, so I didn’t have any desire to lose much weight. Over the winter, as usual, I gained 2 kilograms, which I managed to easily get rid of in a phyto-barrel in just 5 sessions. This method turned out to be very pleasant.

Problems of phytobarrels as a means for weight loss

Now we can talk about the difficulties and not the most useful aspects of procedures in a cedar barrel. Much of what manufacturers or beauty salons promise is misleading. And not every promise can be trusted. A phyto-barrel is not always suitable for weight loss due to such features.

1. Fat burning does not occur. This is one of the most common misconceptions. If you heat the body, the fat will not melt. The fat layer melts only if it comes into direct contact with an open flame. But this, as is understandable, is not feasible. Only water comes out, due to which body weight is temporarily reduced by 200 grams, no more.
2. Your waist circumference will not decrease even if you sit in a cedar barrel for days. Another promise aimed at people who are not at all knowledgeable in areas such as nutrition and body shaping. Fat on the stomach and sides disappears only with proper nutrition combined with physical activity. The most grueling bath procedures will not result in a wasp waist. There is no need to get your hopes up.
3. Speeding up your metabolism is another myth. There are very real methods of accelerating metabolism that help improve your figure. But procedures in a phyto-barrel clearly do not fall into this category. When using special essential oils, metabolic processes are also not accelerated. It’s better to forget about it right away, and to stimulate your metabolism, run a couple of kilometers.

The phytobarrel is also credited with many other beneficial effects that it does not have. One of the funniest ones is male enhancement... I don’t even want to comment on it. Potency will not increase from sitting in a barrel. In this regard, men will notice changes only if they undergo procedures in a cedar barrel in close contact with the woman they love. The atmosphere, so to speak, favors this.

How to achieve the greatest effect

To experience the results of the phyto-barrel as a means of losing weight, you should combine a visit to the mini-sauna with a diet, sports activities, and, if necessary, anti-cellulite massage and wraps.

Proper nutrition

If you eat foods that are too fatty, unhealthy and high in calories, you will never be able to lose weight, even if you exercise and attend beauty events. Regardless of a person’s age, gender and constitution, one should adhere to proper nutrition, which does not provide for strict restrictions like diets, but will help control body weight and maintain health. A proper nutrition menu for every day can be developed by a specialist or doctor. There is a lot of advice on healthy eating on the Internet.

The main principles of proper nutrition are the following:

• minimize sweets;
• consume 500 grams daily. vegetables and fruits, 300 - fish, meat and milk, 400 g of cereals;
• You can eat no more than 50 g of nuts and fats per day;
• the amount of liquid and water per day should be at least 1.5 liters.

Sport

The benefits of sports have been known for a long time. Taking into account the sedentary lifestyle of modern people, special attention should be paid to physical activity. Both anaerobic and aerobic types of exercise are important for the body. Of course, you should take into account age, the presence of medical contraindications and the desired results - reducing body fat or building muscle mass. To prevent sports from causing harm, it is necessary to select a set of exercises individually, in consultation with a doctor and trainer.

Cosmetic procedures

Many beauty salons today offer a wide range of services that can help you lose weight. Of course, they will not be able to get rid of advanced obesity, but they will effectively tighten the skin and get rid of the “orange peel” and several extra pounds. These include:

• massage (hardware and manual);
• wrap (chocolate, with seaweed);
• mesotherapy and cryotherapy;
• phyto-barrel

Cedar barrel for weight loss: to buy or not

Let's also touch on the issue of purchasing this miracle device. There are two options here. If you have your own house with at least a small area around the house, then the phyto-barrel will not work for you at all. It is better to install a small bathhouse. Moreover, the cost will be approximately the same amount, given that large cedar barrels sometimes cost as much as a used foreign car in good condition.

For an apartment, you can consider the option of purchasing a phyto-barrel. But only if there is a lot of space, and there is nowhere to put the money. For other cases, my advice is not to spend money on such a practically useless “device”.

Contraindications

When placing your body in this healing container for the purpose of losing weight, it is worth remembering that this is a significant burden on the body. There are a number of contraindications. For example, you should not immerse yourself in aromatic vapors during menstruation or for six months after a stroke. Pregnant women also need to approach this with extreme caution. Any more or less prolonged change in ambient temperature is stress for the body. How to acclimatize in a southern country. The body's reaction may vary. The most common is losing weight. This is precisely the effect that most of the fair half of humanity achieves. All experts admit that the anti-cellulite phyto-barrel significantly accelerates metabolic processes in the body, this will be especially noticeable on the skin of the body. After just a few procedures, it will become much more toned and elastic, the “orange peel” will go away, the pores will cleanse and become less noticeable. But in order for this to happen, a number of rules must be followed.

Losing weight is possible without a cedar barrel

Probably someone was upset when they learned that a phyto-barrel for weight loss is a completely unnecessary thing. But Madame Georgette hastens to reassure you: even without a cedar barrel, you will definitely be able to lose weight. This can be done much faster and with minimal costs. Therefore, it is better not to despair, but choose a truly effective way to get your body in order. Leave the phytobox to all sorts of fanatics of fashionable things. Or watch a promotional video on this topic. Everything there is very beautiful, especially the girl.

How is the procedure done?

We will briefly describe the session step by step so that you understand how it goes.

1. To begin with, it is recommended to remove all metal jewelry and take a shower.
2. Then the person sits in the barrel: inside there is a special bench with armrests (all elements are made exclusively of natural wood).
3. Thus, the whole body is inside, and the head remains outside - this eliminates the negative effect on the blood vessels of the brain, which cannot be achieved in the bathhouse.
4. The procedure lasts about 15-20 minutes, while the temperature is constantly maintained at the required level.
5. It is not recommended to shower after the session, as healing substances settle on the skin and will continue to have an effect for some time.

How many calories are burned

Burning calories depends on the intensity of metabolic processes in the body and the general condition and physique of the person losing weight. In any case, in the first few weeks, obese people lose mostly water. Bath manipulations only help to consolidate the desired effect. On average, if you go into it 3-4 times in a row, then in 2 hours you can burn 300-400 kcal. If you weigh yourself before and after the visit, the difference can be 400-600 grams. But all this is water that has come out of the pores and will soon be restored. A significant effect can be achieved only after several dozen procedures, approaching the issues comprehensively.
