Banya vs Covid-19

It is well known that the Russian banya helps to fight flu and other seasonal illnesses, but can it be beneficial in the fight against COVID-19?

There has been a great deal of research into the coronavirus pandemic with detailed information on how the virus spreads, its symptoms and the potential consequences. Here, we would like to examine how temperature could affect the virus.

Various studies have shown that viruses can be destroyed by high temperatures (60°C or more) in a shorter period of time, which means that the likelihood of being infected at Banya No.1 is incredibly small.

Nevertheless, it is strictly forbidden to visit a steam room if you are infected by the coronavirus. This helps to keep other people safe from COVID-19 and prevents swelling and inflammation that may be caused by high temperatures.

However, for everyone else, there is a way of preventing viruses and building resistance to COVID-19. Here are some of the benefits of visiting Banya No.1:

• The hot wet steam is good for inhalation and helps clean the lungs.
• The steam promotes faster renewal of the white blood cells that fight viruses.
• During a visit to the steam room, all toxins are released from the body through sweat, which can make you more resistant to viruses.
