Temazcal

The Temazcal is not simply an ancestral architectural construction; Indigenous cultures have long used the Temazcal as a curative ceremony to purify the body and heal the spirit through heat, herbal steam, chanting, and meditative moments, in communion with nature. In itself, the Temazcal represents the earth, the mother who sustains us and gives us life; When people enter it, it is said that it is entering the womb of Mother Earth and this gives meaning to its mystical form of “dome” with small dimensions representing the womb, and the leaving meaning the re-birth.
