Temazcal (steam bath)

A Temazcal is a traditional steam bath originating from Indigenous cultures in Mexico and Central America. It is a dome-shaped, enclosed structure where participants sit or lie inside while warm, herbal-infused steam is generated through controlled fire and water. The process promotes detoxification, relaxation, and spiritual reflection, often incorporating rituals or ceremonies. The heat and steam open pores, stimulate circulation, and help cleanse the body, providing both physical and mental renewal. Temazcal experiences are deeply rooted in cultural traditions, emphasizing community, healing, and connection to nature.
