Public bathing culture

Public bathing culture refers to communal bathing practices found in various societies, where people gather in designated spaces, such as baths or hot springs, for hygiene and social interaction. Historically significant in cultures like the Roman, Japanese, and Turkish, these sites foster relaxation, community bonding, and well-being. They often feature therapeutic properties due to mineral-rich waters or steam. As modern life has evolved, some of these customs have diminished, yet many places still embrace public baths as a way to promote relaxation, health, and social connection among individuals in a shared space.
