Temazcal Experience From its pre-Hispanic heritage, Mexicans have recovered a ritual ceremony that was celebrated among indigenous cultures as a therapeutic cleansing. The word temazcal comes from the Nahuatl word temazcalli.
Several volcanic rocks are heated and placed in the center of an igloo-type construction, where the group will be sitting/relaxing. After the initial ceremony of chants and songs, the conch shell is sounded, signaling the beginning of the temazcal bath. The group gets comfortable inside the temazcal and the stones are called for. The door is closed, sealing off the cool and sealing in the heat. Herbs are thrown on the stones to create a sweet smelling vapor, heating the temazcal to even higher temperatures. The body may reach a temperature of 104°F (40° C) during the temazcal.
This amazing experience offers such benefits such as: *Purification of the skin *Elimination of stress *Improves in the circulation of the body *Activation of the immune system *Rejuvenation in general of the body and of the mind. The ceremony is approximately 2 hours for 4 people to 10 people maximum. Share: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
