Temazcal Tolteca Canaries
The temazcal is an Amerindian sweat lodge, like a sauna or Turkish bath, but with the purpose of purifying the body, mind, emotions and spirit. The temazcal is considered a complete ceremony for personal realization.
The word temazcal comes from the Nahuatl temazcalli which means “steam temple house”, and was one of the most popular traditional medicine methods in Mesoamerican cultures.
Its use and benefits have been preserved to this day because it can be used in a therapeutic, ritual and ceremonial way, and its practice survives today thanks to the oral tradition of the different native communities of America.
This ritual bath is carried out with the steam produced by aromatic and medicinal herbs, which emerges from the previously heated stones of volcanic origin. It is a very warm place where a guide, through songs and prayers, brings the participants into contact with themselves and with the fundamental elements of nature.
