In Slavic bath culture, there is a special ritual - steaming with a venik. A person is laid or seated in a hot steam room, where the air is filled with steam and the aroma of wood. The banshchik or a close person takes a venik - a bundle of branches, most often birch, oak, eucalyptus, or juniper, previously soaked in hot water.🥰
