반신욕 means half-bath.
You fill bathtub with very hot water but only high enough so if you sit down in it,it will only reach your belly button area.
And then you sit in it for as long as you can (try for 40 minute at least) but you can't get the upper part wet and must keep hands and top part dry.
The temperature difference between top and bottom parts of body make you sweat a LOT and afterward, you feel exhausted like you ran on treadmill.
Be careful when you do it and drink cold water after and get up carefully because you can faint..
you have to eat very healthy when you are doing this bath everyday to lose weight ^^
It is very popular in Korea and they even have spas and different products to put over the tub so you can do other stuff while bathing.
Someone even made a ban sin yohk tub with a computer above it ^^
I don't care about loosing weight. But I really want to sweat a lot (I want to sweat out all my toxins). Does anyone know where to buy the product (the packet for half bathing?)
^ Brisk walking is not enough for me. I don't sweat much in general TT__TT. People tell me that those that don't sweat much have a lot of toxins. And I exercise a lot too (4 to 5 out of seven days.. jogging and turbo jam dvd workout) and I rarely sweat as much as my friends do (when I go jogging since I love to jog...)
Hm. Since no one hasn't seen that half bathing stuff... I'll follow my friend's suggestion (go to sauna and sweat). LOL
