Everyone, at some point, needs a vacation. However, sometimes, we are not in the mood for active and adrenaline-filled days. Instead, we wish to rest and pause the routine. One of the best destinations for a relaxing vacation focused on well-being is Tulum.
In Tulum, you'll find an incomparable tranquility vibe; its focus on the organic and being in the present moment will immerse you in a state of Zen. In addition to relaxing on the beautiful turquoise beaches, you can also participate in a temazcal ceremony to detox your body from daily stress.
What does temazcal consist of?
Temazcal is a practice of the native communities of pre-Columbian Mexico and is one of the few ceremonies of this type that have stood the test of time.
The word temazcal comes from Nahuatl, which means "house of sweat"; this is precisely where this ceremony occurs. Participants must enter the temazcal, a round stone structure measuring up to 1.50 meters in height, approximately 4'92 feet.
Inside the temazcal, you will find a bonfire with volcanic stones, into which a cold infusion of various medicinal herbs is poured. The steam released from the herbs is the primary source of benefits for the body. The ceremony is guided by a temazcalero, who sings and prays, accompanied by music.
Temazcal benefits
Many people go to a temazcal to ease the stress and anxiety of daily life; besides the emotional benefits, a temazcal ceremony also positively impacts the body. Some of its side effects are:
- Cleansing of the respiratory tract and digestive system
- Muscular system relaxation
- Skin hydration, oxygenation, and regeneration
- Stimulation of blood circulation
- Relief against insomnia
