As part of our refurbishment and upgrades we have now built a traditional styled Temazcal.
A Temazcal is essentially a traditional Meso American sauna /steam room constructed from volcanic stone, wood or in our case local hand crafted bricks. The structure is heated by hot volcanic rocks, placed in the center, water is then poured over the rocks to produce steam with Herbs (typically sage or copal) added to aid the cleansing process. These ancient structures have been part of Mexican and South American culture for around 1,000 years. The word itself originates from a Nahuatl word Temāzcalli, which translates to “house of heat.” Thought to have derived from the Pre-Hispanic indigenous people of Mesoamerica, the cleansing ritual took place before and after battles and sports tournaments. It was also thought to have healing powers and create a connection to the earth. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A TEMAZCAL? 1. PHYSICAL BENEFITS Temazcal, like other forms of steam room, has many physical benefits. Aston University in England, for example, notes the following five pros. 2. 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. 3. CLEARS SKIN The steam produced by pouring cold water 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. 4. 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. 5. AIDS BLOOD FLOW The heat in a temazcal ceremony will open up your capillaries, allowing blood to move around the body more easily. This has many benefits including increased oxygen levels and lower blood pressure. Our Temazcal will be available for use by all camp guests by prebooking!
