“It is impossible to imagine the poorest Japanese shack in which there would not be at least a stump of bamboo with a stuck flower,” as a famous botanist wrote back in the century before last. In Japan, it has long been used everywhere in medical and health procedures. Let's try to figure out why a bamboo broom is attractive?
Appearance
To make such an original bath accessory you will need young bamboo . All sticks are folded together and firmly connected in the handle area. The result is such a simple but cute broom.
Its peculiarity is that the sticks vibrate intensely when struck, thereby intensely massaging the human body and bringing him incomparable pleasure. We all love massage so much, right?
Massage technique using bamboo sticks
Before starting the massage with bamboo sticks, the specialist warms up the patient’s body with rubbing movements over the oil until slight hyperemia appears. Performs kneading, vibration and stroking movements to completely relax the patient.
Creole massage with bamboo sticks is performed to pleasant music of different rhythms, which depends on the purpose for which the massage is performed. The rhythm of the music sets the pace of the massage movements.
Bamboo massage begins with two small sticks, 35-40 cm long, with a diameter of 3 cm. They have different fillings: one contains sand, the other contains grain. This is necessary so that when massaging with bamboo sticks a different sound effect is created.
Massage oil will ensure smooth movement of the sticks on the skin. In addition, the oil will have a healing and moisturizing effect on both the body and the skin.
Bamboo massage is performed with light blows (shots) on the body at a speed of 100-120 beats/min. This is where rhythmic ethnic music is needed to create rhythm and relax the patient. The blows with bamboo sticks are directed tangentially, so the patient can only feel the vibration caused by their internal contents.
Massage with bamboo sticks includes rolling movements with one stick, twisting, squeezing movements with a bunch of several sticks. These movements have a special effect on the muscles of the human body.
For therapeutic purposes, massage with bamboo sticks is combined with such types of procedures as anti-cellulite and honey massage, silhouette and restorative. It is especially good to combine anti-cellulite massage and vibro-acoustic massage with a bamboo broom. At the same time, a thorough study of the buttocks and thighs is performed.

Pros and cons of using
Surprisingly, this accessory has fewer drawbacks than the usual birch broom, which we have all become accustomed to for a long time, but, apparently, the power of tradition makes itself felt. However, first about the undeniable advantages:
- no need to waste time on steaming - almost immediately ready for use;
- does not break during use, does not leave leaves on the human body - the overall hygiene of the bath procedure increases;
- lies gently on the body, which is ideal for those people who have overly sensitive and vulnerable skin;
- ideally combined with massage and peeling;
- can be used without contact with skin;
- does not release any substances during steaming and is therefore absolutely safe for allergy sufferers.
As for the outright disadvantages, we can confidently talk about only one thing - fragility .
Yes, if you want to heartily hit your neighbor on the back, as you are used to doing with an ordinary birch broom, then, most likely, you will either break the neighbor or break the broom. Still, it has a certain reserve of rigidity, so you need to apply it gently - this type of delivery ideally relaxes both the body and the brain.
How to use a fresh broom
Spring and summer are a wonderful time! Only in summer you can “feast” on a fresh broom in the bathhouse. What aromas it has and what tender, smooth, soft and juicy foliage!
There is no need to steam a fresh broom for use. In hot water, fresh foliage will simply cook, become heavy and sticky. There will certainly not be a delicate aroma from a cooked fresh broom. It will no longer be possible to consider him the king of the baths, because the limp branches and leaves will turn into a sadistic instrument.
Hot water will drip onto the body, and wet leaves will stick tightly to the body. The steam in the bathhouse will be heavy, damp, and exhausting. There will be no lightness after the bath, only fatigue.
Just rinse fresh brooms in warm water, hold them over the heater for a bit and that’s it! He is ready for sauna feats!
