The Benefits of the Hammam: A Journey to the Heart of Moroccan Tradition

by Spa Casablanca

The hammam, more than just a steam bath, is an invitation to a sensory journey to the heart of Moroccan tradition. Rooted in centuries of history and culture, this ritual of purification offers a multitude of benefits for the body and mind. At Oxygène Expériences, we invite you to rediscover this authentic experience in a luxurious setting that respects your privacy.

What is the Hammam and Why is it so Special?

The hammam is a hot steam bath, often enriched with essential oils, that prepares the body for deep cleansing. Traditionally, it takes place in several stages:

  1. The Heat: The hot steam opens the skin’s pores and prepares the body for exfoliation.
  2. Black Soap (Savon Noir): A vegetable soap made from olive oil, applied all over the body to remove impurities.
  3. Exfoliation: Performed with a kessa glove, it removes dead skin cells and stimulates blood circulation.
  4. Rinsing: A cool shower to tone the skin and close the pores.
  5. Moisturizing: An application of argan oil or shea butter to nourish and soften the skin.

The Multiple Benefits of the Hammam

The hammam is not limited to a simple cleansing of the skin. It offers many health and wellness benefits:

  • Detoxification: Abundant sweating helps to eliminate toxins accumulated in the body.
  • Muscle Relaxation: The heat soothes muscle tension and relieves joint pain.
  • Improved Blood Circulation: The heat promotes better circulation, which is beneficial for heart and blood vessels.
  • Exfoliation: Scrubbing removes dead skin cells and refines the skin’s texture, leaving it soft and radiant.
  • Hydration: The oils and butters used after exfoliation deeply nourish and hydrate the skin.
  • Mental Relaxation: The soothing atmosphere of the hammam promotes relaxation and reduces stress.
