The Charcot shower is designed to increase blood flow to all organs and systems. Depending on the temperature of the water, the jet increases or decreases the tone of the striated (skeletal) muscles and blood vessels, excites or inhibits the processes occurring in the central nervous and endocrine systems, and increases or decreases blood pressure. The shower promotes the elimination of toxic substances, has a general strengthening and sedative effect, and has a tonic effect. The treatment uses one or two high-pressure streams of water, directing them against the relevant part of the body.
The Charcot shower acts as a strong tonic to the skin and connective tissue, reduces cellulite, improves lymph return, stimulates metabolism and strengthens the cardiovascular system.
The procedure is often used as a preventive one – to strengthen the body’s defenses, as well as to relax muscles after intense sports. In cosmetology, the method is actively used as an effective means of combating cellulite – the skin after a course of treatment becomes smoother, firmer and more elastic. In addition, women are pleased to find a minus in centimeters on problem areas on the body. The procedure improves the removal of excess water and end products of metabolism from the body, restores energy and improves physical and spiritual well-being.
It is worth noting that varicose veins are also a relative contraindication. However, in this case, it is possible to perform this procedure, but on the condition that the jet of water will not affect the problem areas of the extremities.
