A Steam Room Massage Is A Moroccan Tradition
A Turkish Bath or Turkish Hammam Massage is generally a steaming bath done usually in a public health spa house, typically accompanied by a massage or other body therapy that is exotic. The Hammam is most commonly found in the Islamic world, and it s often said to have been inspired by the ancient Roman Thermaean. This kind of massage is very popular in Turkey as well as other parts of the Middle East. Many believe that the Arabic word masala, or Hamm, is the basis of the word "hamam". The word also has many meanings in Turkish including dance, 'bath and 'love'. I will explore the meanings of these words in this article.

Hammams are made up of warm seaweed that has been soaked in water and then blended with water to create the texture of foam. There are two main types that differ based on where you live and what type of massage you are receiving. The sessions can be long and drawn out or shorter with only handful of masseuses.

Many people have heard of a Turkish bath massage and are curious about 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 lasts only fifteen minutes. Epsom salt is one of the primary ingredients of this type bath. It is also used in salons, spas as well as other similar businesses. I will describe what is involved in this bath and show you how to perform the massage.

The client is seated on a table for massage to begin the massage. The table is elevated to approximately mid-level, and the individual laid on a blanket on the floor is covered with towels. The room will feel warm. A towel or cloth is rubbed across the body to remove the exfoliation. This is done on the entire body including the back.

Then, warm, but not hot water is run over the body. The masseuse will rub the skin off of the client's body using their hands. The warm water relaxes the body allowing for easier massaging. It is best to attempt to calm the mind and prepare the mind for the massage. It is possible to imagine the whole process as an extended, hot, hour in a hot space. Certain hammams have music, but most are still silent.

After exfoliation, or if preferred, a scrub is used to eliminate the remaining dead skin. The towels are then immersed in warm water and the person being massaged is then placed in the scrub chair. Massage oil is used to loosen dirt from the skin of the client. Scrubbing can be performed with hands, however if a more powerful tool is needed it is sometimes used by the masseuse. A hot oil is often used as well, especially when the person who is who is being scrubbed requires a greater scrub.

After all dirt has been cleared from the tub the masseur will add warm water and antibacterial soap to it. The shower will be opened and the attendant will clean it. If you want a full shower it will be opened and the massage therapist will clean the entire shower from top to the bottom. After the massage is over the cold water is poured on top of the clean water to close the bath.

A relaxing steam room massage is a wonderful Moroccan experience. There are many steam rooms throughout Morocco, including Marrakech. If you're 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 treatment at any one of the luxury spa hotels in Morocco and ask the staff at the hotel for suggestions on packages.
