Turkish Bath Massage is practiced in an old-fashioned setting. First a disposable dry bath glove known as a kese, is used to initially clean and dry the client's body. After the body is cleaned and dried the second kese is used to apply perfume, moisturizers and scents. Turkish Bath Massage continued with steam massage. Your entire body will be submerged thick foams of organic soap and lightly fragranced warm water.
If you're planning on having a Turkish Bath massage, you might be wondering what exactly is involved. The traditional Turkish bath is one in which the client lies down face down. The towel is wrapped around the body as it is lower to the floor. The towel is then placed on a wooden structure that is secured to the floor, allowing the towel to be pulled back over the head and dried. Once this is completed the hamam can be slid under the body with gentle, but firm strokes.
As in many other countries, the Turkish Baths also have hammams. Hamam is a bath or location to soak. In Turkey the word "hamam" denotes both a bathroom as well as bathhouse. The majority of hammams are open to the public. The baths can include hammams as well as a sauna or other amenities.
While many people are aware that the term "hamam" can be used in Turkey, some do not understand why. A Hammam is generally composed of two rooms. One room is the actual bathing area while the second is the sitting area. The sitting area is typically carpeted with an area rug. The culture of the area influences the style. the carpeting is typically dark green or brown.
The second room of the hammam is similar to a spa located in an oriental hotel. The primary function of the hammam is to soothe and replenish the body after a long day. The area for sitting is just above the bathhouse. Many people visit these baths daily. If a visit to the Turkish bath isn't feasible during your time in the country, you can always make arrangements for a visit to one of the numerous spas in the country.
