If you haven’t heard about hammam yet, you will soon. This treatment is well-known around the world for being a centuries-old calming and cleaning Moroccan tradition.

The hammam is not the same as a regular thermal spa. While both are very soothing and beneficial to the skin, hammam treatments employ hot steam rather than thermal water to promote deep and invigorating cleaning.

Many hammam treatments also include the use of vitamin-E-rich, olive-based soap, which is recognized for its skin-nourishing and exfoliating characteristics. Some treatments may also incorporate rhassoul clay, an antibacterial mineral that eliminates toxins and pollutants from the body, lowers sebum and tightens pores.

Bathing Techniques

Bathing is an important element of Middle Eastern and North African culture, and it is commonly done in magnificent antique bath-houses. Bathing is a place to congregate and converse just as much as it is a place to relax and clean yourself.

Moroccan hammams and Turkish baths are two of the most popular forms of baths. While both are popular, the Moroccan hammam is frequently preferred due to its use of steam rather than water. Steam softens skin, relaxes the mind, and opens the pores for a thorough cleansing sensation.

The Origins of the Hammam

The Roman Empire built the first public bath almost 2000 years ago. Roman baths, like typical hammam baths, had temperature-controlled compartments. It was able to promote circulation while also detoxifying the body by sweating off toxins, ensuring a thorough cleaning.

The concept of the public bath quickly spread throughout the rest of the world, with Morocco being one of the first to embrace this method of bathing. Citizens liked how they could keep themselves clean and their skin nourished while sitting and chatting with their neighbours. 

What can a hammam treatment do for you?

In addition to the skin-softening and nourishing effects, as well as the naturally exfoliating and antimicrobial properties, hammam does the following:

It strengthens the immune system. The heated steam used in hammam strengthens the immune system by dilating blood vessels and improving circulation in the body, as well as opening pores to allow toxins to be removed.

It revitalizes the body. The ability of hot steam to rejuvenate fatigued, painful muscles is really transformational. It is quite energising. The rigorous washing and massaging you receive during hammam causes your body to experience a significant increase in blood flow, stimulating and waking the senses.

It soothes both the mind and the body. You won’t find a more nutritious and soothing treatment than hammam, thanks to its use of strong heat and steam, as well as the relaxing massage aspect.

What should you bring to a hammam?

Genders were once separated in hammam baths. However, unisex treatments are becoming increasingly prevalent, so bring a bathrobe, bikini or swimsuit, and flip-flops to your hammam treatment to ensure your privacy.
