The Magic of the Soft Bath. A Guide to the World of Warmth for the Whole Family - New Edition

This is the very first illustrated book about the bath, written by a woman for women and aimed at a wide range of female readers.

It is not abstract, not science fiction, and not narrow-specialized. It essentially represents a journey into the amazing world of the bath. “I have been traveling through this world for almost my entire life, — like Alice in Wonderland. And I have had enough time to get used to it. Be my guests on the pages of this book. I will gladly pour you herbal tea with honey and heat up the stove, — so that it is warm and cozy for us here,” — says Maria Vojevodina, the author of the book and the creator of a bath school for women.

By reading this book, you risk falling in love with the bath forever, and at the same time making your whole family fall in love with it too. So much so that your children will run after you with requests to steam them with birch brooms, and your husband will be nagging you with suggestions to go to the bath more often than with the usual hints. Read, watch videos via QR codes, arrange a real women’s bath circle with your friends so they will surely recognize you as the main witch in your entire company. Claim your feminine power and use the magic. The magic of the soft bath.

Our bath — is a place to meet your inner little girl. And if you're lucky, you might meet yourself at an older age. You can see the rebellious teenager, a student in search of truth, a romantic young lady with a volume of Bukowski, a businesswoman, a young mother, tired but happy — you can meet them all inside yourself. By the way, the illustrations by the wonderful artist Olga Kruglova, who has already earned honor and love from the audience for her illustrations to the book “One Girl Gathered a Flock,” make this book truly gift-like and cozy. For the most curious and impatient, the author suggests studying... a travel map of the world of the Bath before reading. “In the first chapter, I will tell you my bath story: how I ended up in the bath and how the bath ended up in me. I tried to make it exciting — so that you would also want, if not to repeat my path, at least to try what it is — a soft bath.

In the second chapter, we will analyze what exactly makes the bath healing and even sometimes magical. We will talk about where to find interesting baths. And about how the soft bath differs from the hard and harmful one.

In the third chapter, there will be a description of how to choose a bath and prepare it for steaming, and I will introduce you to the steam and brooms.

In the fourth chapter, we will study the entire process of the bath mystery: how to prepare for a trip to the bath, what movements to make with the brooms, and we will analyze the sequence of bath procedures. I will tell you how to steam yourself if there is no one around.

In the fifth chapter, we will talk about steaming loved ones: husbands, children, friends. We will discuss how to hold a women’s bath circle.

In the sixth chapter, we will talk about everything related to motherhood and the bath.

And in the seventh chapter, we will analyze how to help your body stay healthy if there is no opportunity to go to the bath. I will tell you what you can do to support yourself between trips to the bath: what to do daily at home to create a healing effect of the bath.”
