What is a Turkish Bath? The concept of a Turkish Bath is a humid room with a raised stone platform in the centre, surrounded by bathing areas with pretty coloured tiles. The tiles actually have a role, which is to remove static electricity from the air and help relax the body and mind. Usually, the light inside a Hammam is soft and relaxing.
The process of a Turkish bath starts by you sitting or laying down on the platform, which is heated, and work up a sweat. Then you go to one of the bathing areas where someone will scrub you with a coarse mitt. This removes layers of dead skin. Afterward, it is time to get soaped with a lacy cloth so that you have bubbles all over your body. You will then get a head massage and finally you are rinsed off with warm water.
What are the benefits of a Turkish Bath? The main benefits of a Turkish Bath are:
- Purification and a deep cleansing of the skin.
- Promoting the good functioning of the respiratory tract.
- Reducing stress.
- Relaxing and revitalizing.
