Qu'est-this than a traditional hammam Moroccan ?

traditional hammam Moroccan private at Riad Vendôme Marrakech

Le mot « hammam » vient of the arabe حمّام that signifie « bain chaud ». Present in Morocco for over mille ans, the hammam is a institution sociale as much than a rituel de beauty. Traditionallement, the Moroccans se rendent in the hammam public a to deux fois by semaine — it is a venue for rencontre, de purification and de relaxation that rythme the vie quotidienne. The hammam done partie integrante of the preparations of the mariage Moroccan (la bride y passe the veille of the ceremony) and of the rites de passage importants.

Le traditional hammam se distingue fondamentalement of the sauna finlandais or of the bain turc. There where the sauna utilise a dry heat to 80-100°C, the hammam Moroccan diffuse a wet steam to 40-50°C — a lot more douce for the skin and the airways respiratoires. This vapeur, often infused d'eucalyptus or de orange blossom, ouvre the pores en douceur and prepares the skin au scrub that suit.

Les 4 stages of the ritual hammam at Riad Vendôme

Stage 1 — Le steam bath (10-15 minutes). You entrez in our hammam private en marbre and tadelakt (enduit de chaux traditional poli to the main). Le steam professional generator maintient an atmosphere to 40-45°C d'humidity. La vapeur, infused to the eucalyptus or to the orange blossom depending on your choice, penetrates your pores and relaxes your muscles en profondeur. You sentez the heat bienfaisante envelopper your body — the stress commence to se dissoudre.

Step 2 — Le scrub with black soap and kessa (15-20 minutes). It is the heart of the ritual. Our beautician applique the black soap bio, a paste unctuous made fromblack olives of the region of Fès, riche en vitamine E. After a few minutes of pause, elle proceeds au kessa glove scrub : a gant de crepe rugueux qui, by of the mouvements vigoureux and experts, retire the dead skin cells en rouleaux visibles sur your skin. It is spectacular and deeply satisfaisant — your skin ressort incroyablement lisse and douce.

Step 3 — L'body wrap with rhassoul clay (15-20 minutes, optional). Le rhassoul (ou ghassoul) is a clay saponifere unique au monde, extraite of the mines of the valley of the Moulouya in the Moyen Atlas Moroccan. Used from the VIIIe century, it is the alone mineral naturel to contenir simultaneously silice, magnesium, fer, zinc and potassium. Applied en body wrap sur all the body, elle purifie, remineralises and resserre the pores. After 10 minutes of pose, a rinsing to the water lukewarm reveals a fresh skin and bright.

Step 4 — La relaxation and the tea mint. After the rinsing final, you are wrapped in a serviette chaude and guest to rejoindre the patio or the terrace for a tea mint fresh and of the pastries Moroccans. This moment de repos is essentiel : your body integre the benefits of the ritual, your circulation sanguine se normalise, and a sensation de serenity profonde s'installe.

You y cotoyez the locaux in an atmosphere authentic but with a confort minimal : pas de vestiaire private, you need apporter son propre equipment, the cleanliness is variable, and the personnel ne parle pas forcement French.

It is the best of the deux mondes — particularly recommended for a first experience.

The benefits proven of the traditional hammam

The hammam is not than a moment de plaisir — it is a treatment therapeutic reconnu. La wet steam stimule the circulation sanguine and facilite l'elimination of the toxines by the transpiration. Le scrub with black soap retire 3 fois more than dead skin cells than a scrub cosmetic classique, this that active the cell renewal and reveals a fresh skin and bright.
