The word "hamam" just can’t be translated. It is used in all languages to describe - more than anything else - a feeling. Hamam means relaxation, sensual and physical. Forget the world outside, let your mind and spirit wander free and just enjoy the purification. This is the essence of "hamam".
One cycle of the Near-Eastern bathing ritual with time in the bathing, steaming, and scrubbing areas takes up to 90 minutes. Afterwards, hamam visitors should relax in the resting and rehydration room for another 30 minutes.
Near-Eastern sensuality, pleasant scents and luxurious surroundings are all integral to the hamam bathing experience. It is a world of its own with gentle heat, soft light, and various rooms offering different intensities of steam and heat. Bathers in the hamam wrap themselves in a cotton cloth (pestemal).
Steam relaxes tensions and helps prevent respiratory illnesses. It also opens pores, allowing the release of toxins from the skin. Hamam guests slip into a fascinating bathing world, letting themselves fall into the gentle heat and soft light, relax, become calmer, and feel the herbal essences affecting their respiratory passages. |
