# Traditional and ancestral Temazcal experience

**Guidekin's take:** This temazcal experience centres on steam made by pouring herbal water over hot rocks. Fresh fruit and natural fruit waters are included; the activity is not recommended during pregnancy or for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. 4.9 from 59 reviews at €73 per person for 3h.

## Overview

TEMAZCALl have many physical benefits

FLUSHES OUT TOXINS
Sweat helps to push out toxins — a catch-all name for generally harmful bodies that enter our systems. Getting rid of them can help to improve your overall well-being.

CLEARS SKIN
The steam produced by pouring water with herbs over the hot rocks helps to flush out impurities in the skin, clearing the pores and creating a smoother look. Steam rooms could also help to treat acne.

SUPPORTS WEIGHT LOSS
Increasing the amount you sweat can help you get rid of water weight. While not a cause for concern, water weight can cause bloating and be uncomfortable.

MENTAL BENEFITS

DECREASES RISK OF DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMER’S
Sitting in a sweat lodge is understood to decrease the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study published in the scientific journal Age And Ageing.

RELEASES MENTAL BURDENS
Finally, many temazcal ceremonies involve deep contemplation akin to mediation. “It’s a very ancient ritual, to be healthy, to be balanced, to stay calm in our minds.”

**Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point
