The Temazcal bath purifies your mind, body, and spirit in an extraordinary garden setting. Ancient temazcal ceremonials combine a cleansing sweat bath with herbs, flowers, music, and a soothing massage that will renew and energize you.
The word Temazcal comes from the Nahuatl language used by the Aztecs: Temaz (bath) and Calli (home). The ceremony offered was used by the Aztecs, Zapotecs, Mixtecs, Mayans, and other indigenous groups as a therapeutic and purifying ritual. An adobe building in an enchantingly beautiful garden holds the Temazcal bath chamber and an area for massage, meditation, and rest afterward.
Rocks centrally heat the special bath chamber. When boughs of herbs are laid over the hot stones, and the rocks are doused with water, a richly scented steam begins the sweating process necessary to relax and purify the body and to release toxins (spoken of by the indigenous practitioners as excess “hot” and “cold” energies).
The bath is attended closely by the Temazcalera, who assure that the steam is not too hot or cold and that the proper herbs are used to treat specific complaints. During the ceremony, she may gently beat the bather’s body with the herbs and brush the steam around the head, encouraging deeper breathing and relaxation.
A warm water bath may be given in the chamber, both to quickly cool the body or to encourage greater sweating. You will exit the Temazcal after about 45 minutes, wrapped in a dry cotton sheet. The bather must then relax lying down, well covered, until all sweating has ceased, and the body has dried on its own.
During the relaxation period, an indigenous massage is offered. Some bathers fall asleep during this wonderfully calming massage!
