Temazcal

A temazcal is a type of sweat lodge that originated with pre-hispanic Indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica. The word temazcal comes from the Nahuahtl word temāzcalli (“house of heat”) or possibly from the Aztec teme (to bathe).

Temazcal has several health and spiritual benefits said to help detox the body, mind, and soul. It is said to bring about spiritual awakening and deep healing. The ceremony is led by a shaman or local leader with chanting, herbs, and other rituals.
