A Turkish Hammam Massage or Turkish Bath is a steaming bath that is usually done in a bath house that is public. It usually involves an exotic massage or body treatment. Hammam is most common in the Islamic world. It is thought to have been inspired from the ancient Roman Thermaean. This type of massage is popular in Turkey and other regions of the Middle East. Many believe that the Arabic masala, or hamm, is the source of the word "hamam". Other meanings for the word in Turkish include 'bath' (dance) and 'love' anddancing. These meanings will be discussed in this article.
Hammams are made up of warm seaweedthat is soaked before being mixed with water to create the appearance of foam. There are two kinds of traditional hammams that differ based on the area you're located, and the method of massage that you receive. These sessions can be either lengthy and drawn out, or shorter with just the masseuses.
Many people have heard of a Turkish bath massage, and are wondering what's included in this type of massage. A Turkish bath massage is comparable to other spa treatment. However, the bath is typically hot and takes only 15 minutes. Epsom salt is one of the main ingredients of this type bath. It is also used in spas, salons and other similar establishments. I will go over the process and demonstrate how to perform the massage.
The client is seated on a massage table to begin the massage. The table is elevated to the middle of the table and the customer is placed upon a blanket laid on the ground. The temperature in the room that is hot will be warm. To get rid of the exfoliation, an old towel or a paper towel is recommended to rub the body. This is done all over the body, including the back.
Then, warm, but not hot water is then poured over the body. The masseuse will use their hands to rub dead skin cells off the client's body. The warm water will relax the body, allowing it to be easier to massage. It is best to attempt to relax your mind to prepare the mind for the massage. You can imagine the entire process as an extended, hot, hour in a warm room. Some hammams are music-based, but most are silent.
The scrub is used for removing any remaining dead skin cells after the exfoliation. The towels are then placed in warm water and the person being massaged is seated in the scrub chair. Massage oil is used to loosen dirt from the client's skin. You can scrub with your hands, or a masseuse can employ a more powerful tool. A hot oil is sometimes also used, particularly in cases where the person being scrubbed needs a stronger scrub.
After all dirt has been cleaned the masseur will add a mixture of warm water and anti-bacterial soap into the tub. The attendant will open the shower and clean it. If you'd like to shower in a full way the attendant will open the shower and clean it from top-to-bottom. Cold water is added to the bath to seal it in after the massage has been completed.
A relaxing massage in the steam room is a wonderful Moroccan experience. Steam rooms are accessible at a variety locations across Morocco, especially Marrakech. For those traveling through Morocco seeking the top luxury spa hotels, a visit to a traditional moroccan spa hotel is highly recommended. It is possible to reserve an entire spa experience at any of the luxurious spa hotels in Morocco; just ask the staff at the hotel for suggestions on packages.
