A circular shower, or Swiss shower, is a water treatment carried out in a special box in which tubes for supplying water are installed, through which an acupressure is carried out. The water temperature during the session decreases. It lasts from 5 to 20 minutes. Such a procedure is carried out in many spa-salons, in resorts and in most medical institutions. Also, boxes for holding a circular shower can be purchased on the Internet and installed right at home. The general course consists of 15-20 sessions that are held every day or every other day. You cannot replace a normal shower with a Swiss shower: it can affect your well-being.
Therapeutic effect
The circular douche is very different from the ordinary douche in that it affects not only the skin, but also the subcutaneous tissue, muscles and some internal organs. Due to the complex effect, the general condition improves, irritability decreases and sleep becomes deep. That is why the Swiss shower is often recommended by specialists to combat depression and chronic fatigue.
This procedure restores immunity, improves the production of interferon (this means that circular douche is a good prevention of viral and bacterial diseases).
Also, a circular shower has a positive cosmetic effect. It helps in the fight against cellulite. Problem areas undergo a more thorough massage, and the temperature of the water changes with a greater amplitude, which is why blood circulation improves dramatically.
A Swiss shower helps fight intoxication by removing harmful substances from the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Varieties of a circular shower: Charcot
The circular shower came from the famous soul Charcot, who got its name from the French scientist Jean-Martin Charcot. It used to be that Charcot's douche helps to deal with mental disorders and circulatory problems. Nowadays it is proved that Sharko's shower has much more positive effects.
Charcot's soul effects
This procedure has a large number of advantages, which include improved blood circulation and stabilization of the nervous system. The shower, depending on the temperature, excites or inhibits the central nervous system. Also, due to the contrast of temperatures, this procedure has a restorative effect. The endocrine system also improves its performance after taking Charcot's shower.
Sharko shower, like a circular shower, has a strong cosmetological effect. It is recommended for cellulite. The skin after such a water massage becomes smooth and supple.
Indications and contraindications Charcot's soul
Due to the similarity in effects, the indications and contraindications for Charcot's soul coincide with the recommendations for a circular soul. Particular attention should be paid to the great danger of Charcot's soul with thrombophlebitis.
Charcot's soul technique
A patient standing 3-4 meters from the shower department is subjected to water massage, which should be carried out by a competent specialist. First, with a fan, and then with a dense stream, the specialist first massages the front, and then the sides and back of the patient. Massage is from the bottom up, avoiding the genitals, mammary glands and spine. Each limb is massaged separately in the direction of large vessels.
The duration of such a session is short - 2 minutes at the beginning of the course of treatment, and 7-8 minutes at the end.
Sharko's soul shortcomings
The disadvantages of this technique include the appearance of hematomas, or, as they are also called, bruises. However, they cease to appear after the second or third visit to Charcot's soul, but those that appeared will last quite a long time - about two weeks. Also disadvantages include pain during massage. Usually they cease to be felt after the third visit, but there are times when the pain is quite long and severe. This is due to an individual pain threshold. So if the discomfort does not go away, then it is better to look for alternative methods of treatment.

The main thing is to remember contraindications and the fact that the constant use of such methods can adversely affect health.
