Traditional and ancestral Temazcal experience
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.”

What To Expect
I welcome you with a refreshing Mayan drink, take you to a resting place (palapa) and explain the Temazcal process
We use cupal and incense, medicine for the balance of energy that cleans before entering Temazcal from that moment you experience a spiritual connection.
Then we enter Temazcal and sit around the navel. Then the previously heated volcanic stones emerge, which emit steam when we spray water with infusions of healing plants on top of the granny stones. The place becomes very warm while, through chants and prayers, the participants come into contact with themselves and we will learn the importance of the word, the silence and the strength of the chants, making relaxing but also reflective dynamics. 4 doors (4 strokes) are made within the ritual, in which between each one the doors will be opened to lower the temperature and the entry of new stone grandmothers.
After finishing we go out and shower in the garden with a rustic watering can, the water purifies our body.
Then we enjoyed drinks, fruits and guacamole gift from Mother Earth.
