This ancient practice that has been around since the time of the Greeks and Romans at least is growing in popularity all around the world. There are many reasons why it is a growing trend and they are all positive. We created this blog post to help you decide if the Hammam bath is the thing for you or if it is not what you need. Read on and find out all the benefits that Hammam has for you.<\/em>\n\n\n\n\n

What is Hammam?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nHammam is a version of the good and familiar steam bath. Its first section\nor part involves a hot room that can be somewhere near the 45\u00b0C with\na very high humidity, always at or close to 100%. This first section\nis good to open the customer\u00b4s pores and let all the toxins sweat\nout of them. You are left in this room to sweat for some minutes and\nonce you are done with that, you are taken to a different one to\nstart phase two of the Hammam.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Hammam phase two, you lay on a regular massage bed and get your body\ncleansed with hot water. All that sticky sweat full of toxins will\ndisappear and you\u00b4ll literally feel your body breathing in a\ndifferent way. Once water made its effect, you will feel that the\nmassage therapist will start rubbing your skin with a deliciously\nsmelling black soap that is exclusive to this treatment. It is mostly\nmade of black olives, and might also contain eucalyptus as an\nanti-septic. This rubbing feels great on the skin although you might\nfeel a little friction with the masseuse\u00b4s hands. It is ok to feel\nthat way, though, it helps scrubbing and rubbing those toxins away.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis soap takes some minutes to soak in your skin and have the desired\nexfoliating effect, so the therapist will let that time go by and\nthen return with a special glove under the name of kessa. With this\nglove on, the rubbing will no longer be so gentle, but you will get\nyour skin cleaned like never before. What the massage therapist does\nis to remove all dead skin cells along with any other tissue clogging\nyour pores. You can always ask for the therapist to go easier on you,\nbut the heavy it is always a great way of exfoliating your skin.\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce phase two is done, you will be pretty relaxed and will also feel that\nyour skin will start breathing as if it had never done it before.\nAlso, as a side effect of the kessa glove, you\u00b4ll feel your skin\ncompletely soft. It\u00b4s definitely time for phase three.\n
