The original variant of the Altai barrel-parling is a phytobochka. Structurally, it is a small wooden cabin, into which a person is placed entirely, with the exception of the head. Papitoboid is served pairs of certain temperatures and humidity generated by the steam generator. The design has tightness, so that there is a special microclimate, favorable for holding health and tonic procedures inside the barrel.
For maximum effect during sessions, various herbal fees can be applied in the phytobole. This feature is reflected in the first part of the term "phytobochka". The authiy appeared due to the fact that a cedar barrel was served by the cabin, traditionally used in Siberia, including for bath procedures.

8-10. Barrels "our cedar": oval double "family" (8); Round "Classic", coating - Morilka (from 32 thousand rubles) (9); Square "Moscow" with an angular folding door (from 37,200 rubles) (10).
11. Phytosborg ("RosKedr") in the form of therapeutic infants of herbs. Ready infusion must be added to the steam generator. For the procedure, one cap is sufficient.
12. Fitosbor "Alfit" - six compositions from medicinal plants, dried, crushed and packed in convenient filter bags.
Dramed barrels were used, later - made according to the coolest technology, from individual boards shot down by the hoop. Now, according to all the rules of coolant art, the phytobochet manufactures only the company "RosKedr". Other manufacturers collect them like carpentry, with the help of tongue connections on glue. Such a design is less reliable than a cooled product, bonded by hoops, but if all the rules of operation are also capable of listening for many years. In addition, the technology allows you to make products of any form. Not only round in terms of carpentry phytoboches, but also rectangular and oval are available. A properly chosen form of the body allows you to get the maximum pleasure of the procedure. In addition to carpentry phytoboches, installed vertically, there are also horizontal options for cabins, in which a person during the procedure is located lying, as in horizontal solarium. There are intermediate, inclined cabins, where the user takes a half-row position.
All advantages "Couple in Tara"
Compared to the traditional bath, the phytobochka has such advantages as compactness (the device covers an area of less than 1m2, simplicity of installation, low cost (from 20-25 thousand rubles). The barrel can be installed in a conventional urban apartment where the bath can only dream about the bath, Or in a small cottage, in which there is not enough space for a full-fledged steam. The device is quite economical, the steam generator requires, as a rule, no more than 2 kW of power. Another advantage of the phytobole is that during the procedures of the head of a person is outside. Thus, the impact Hot steam on the body is removed much easier.A front or side of the housing is located the door for the entrance, so the user does not have to make efforts to climb inside the booth (in the lying modifications, the top half of the case is being folded). Upper part of vertical phytoboches usually there is a pair of small swing door for the head. Inside there is a wooden bench (in sedentary models) or sun bed. Steam is fed through a steam pipeline, a metal-plastic tube with holes located at the bottom of the cabin around the perimeter of the barrel. The pipe serves to evenly distribute steam throughout the inner volume.
Punching material for the device body is used soft wood cedar with a pleasant smell. It has high resistance to rotting and, in principle, does not need additional processing with protective coatings. Nevertheless, the housing of many carpentry phytoboches from aesthetic considerations is often treated with a verse or paint. Products of the Lux Category outside can be decorated with painting, burning, toning, thread, and artificially aged.
Object technologies and harmful humidity
Barrels made by traditional technologies are able to serve as decades to serve as vessels for wine and other liquids. Durability is achieved due to the corresponding drying technology, processing and assembly of products. Wooden details of the side surfaces of the barrel - rivet - should be carefully dried, it is necessary that the level of moisture of wood does not exceed 5-6%. (In natural conditions, it is impossible to obtain wood moisture in a humidity of less than 15-18%, it takes a long drying in a special oven.) Next, the rivets are manually clothed with the help of axes and are being finalized by the appropriate tool. Then the bondar collects the design. A properly made barrel is capable of withstanding significant differences in atmospheric humidity, there are no deforming stresses in its case.
To avoid the unpleasant consequences of the alternate impact of a wet and dry atmosphere, producers of barrels with adhesive connections recommend constantly maintaining the required level of air humidity. For this purpose, it is enough to put inside the vessel with water. Phytoboles made according to coolant technologies, can be dried without concern for the design. At the same time, the upper end doors are recommended to keep open, and the side - closed on the cape castle, so as not to weaken the design.

21. NEO phytobochka with a built-in steam generator ("Cedar Siberian"), oval, assembly in the spike-groove without glue, 2dates are made of stainless steel (47,09.)
To install phytoboches optimal rooms with a humidity of 50-70%. After each use, the device is recommended to be ventilated, leaving the top doors open. To clean the barrel from pollution, an ordinary baby soap is best suited. Harmful microorganisms can be destroyed using a quartz lamp, which will have to be purchased separately. The frequency of the use of the lamp with the household use of phytoboches (2-3 times a week) will be 1 time in 2-3 months.
Short narrow doors - not a hindrance
Choosing a phytobochka, it is necessary to calculate the overall dimensions of both potential users of the steambins and the premises in which it will be installed. Compact models have a cylindrical shape, their diameter is 780mm, height - 130cm (seating), 115 cm (half-s) or 90cm (horizontal). People are subtitle and low are placed in them with comfort, but large and growing users, probably, it is better to choose a phytobole of a larger diameter or other shape, for example oval. Lying models require a lot of space and therefore in everyday life are applied less often, and more often - in beauty salons, spa centers and the like institutions.In addition to the dimensions, appreciate the design in terms of the possibility of yourself to get out at any abnormal situation. After all, all procedures are recommended to carry out when the door is closed so that steam does not go out. For this purpose, internal laws are provided in barrels. Thus, the device can be used without assistance. Crucified and horizontal products, the cover is heavy, therefore, internal laws are not provided.
Under the degree
Humidity in the phytobole in the course of the procedure is close to 100%. The temperature is set using a thermostat depending on individual capabilities and preferences. For women of fragile build, the optimal temperature is 42-44 s, for men - 46-50 s, for the men of sports physique - 52-54 C. Experienced users sometimes choose and the coolest temperature. The duration of the procedure on average is 15 minutes and depends on the physical state of the user.
When choosing a barrel, you will definitely make sure that it will pass through the doorways. Almost every manufacturer has one or two collapsible models. If the doors are too narrow, choose the collapsible option.
To increase comfort, the upper plane can be bevelled at an angle. This design improves the overview from the user and is subjectively perceived as more convenient.
As for the steam generator (with an electric heater), it is usually not included in the bursh package and it will have to be purchased separately. Models differ in design and power. The filling type devices with a tank 2-4l tank with a capacity of 0.8-2 kW are most often used (price from 5-6 to 15-20 thousand rubles.). The greater the tank, the more procedures can be performed without an additional topping center (there are models with a flow heater connected to the water supply, but they usually do not apply to everyday life). Also, depending on the design in steam generators, dry phytosbor was used from a mixture of herb or phytosbor in the form of infusion. Steam generators intended for dry collection have a special camera or a removable cartridge where sachets are placed with herbs. Extract models of phytoboches are provided for a special compartment for the steam generator. Increterance, the latter will have to mask outside. You can order steam generators with a decorative wooden case, stylized under the bath, for example in the form of a barrel. But such products are 30-50% more expensive than standard.
