How to Use Siberian Birch, Birch/Meadow sweet, Maple and Oak Venik Leaves

The Birch or Oak leaves have substances that open up the pores and help ventilate the lungs.

For those who have experienced the true essence of the "Banya" the venik is a key ingredient.

Proper preparation is required. Do not remove the protective net during this process. Wrap the venik in a wet towel and place in a warm place overnight. The next day before use, put the venik in a basin or bucket of boiling hot water. Cover with a towel for about 30 minutes until the leaves are soft. Remove the protective net and use.

Lightly beat one another with venik leaves. The venik in motion even sounds like a train leaving the station when listening to branches breaking the hot sauna air and hitting the sauna bather's skin.

Venik can be used several times. When there are a lot of bare ends discard the venik (sauna branches). Some leaf parts will be left in the sauna, simple let them them dry and clean them up the next day. Vacuming works great! Enjoy the special powers of the birch and Oak venik!!!
