How to Disinfect your body
During this challenging period when hand sanitisers and anti-bacterial soaps are all sold out, we can offer you Siberian Body Wash treatment that can actually disinfect your body.
Siberian Body Wash – the treatment where fragrant bundles of birch twigs are used for a deep, exfoliating treatment. The silky bubble wash removes the dead skin cells to help your skin breathe whilst cleansing the pores and stimulating blood circulation.
While you lie down in our special hot stone room, we apply fragrant and thick organic soapy foam to your body using pre-steamed birch twigs. The leaves of the birch twigs contain ascorbic acid, carotene and essential oils, producing an amazing effect by softening and rejuvenating your skin. This also enhances blood circulation and boosts your metabolism.
We recommend you to try Body Wash with Tar soap as use an organic handmade Birch Tar soap, which is derived from the dry distillation of the birch tree. It is a compound of aromatic hydrocarbons and a number of other biologically active substances.
In fact, Tar soap has been used for centuries and has proven effective in treating acne, eczema, psoriasis and itchy skin. Furthermore, because of the naturally occurring salicylic acid (an organic plant hormone) and methyl salicylate (an organic ester) in the birch tar, it acts as a natural exfoliator that sloughs off dead skin and tones new skin.
Birch tar is also an excellent diuretic; it is used for body detoxification and cleansing. It helps enhance the body’s blood circulation and prevents toxins from collecting in muscles and skin. Due to its disinfectant and antiseptic properties, birch tar can even be applied to small cuts and wounds to prevent infections and speed up the healing process. Another advantage is that it can be effective in disinfecting your body after a busy day in London.
Therefore, if you feel as if your body needs disinfecting and your metabolism needs a boost to improve your immune system, you are always welcome at Banya No.1. As an added bonus, we can guarantee to relieve your stress amid all the panic that is currently surrounding us.
