yoga detox retreats Turkey - Turkish Bath

the yoga detox retreat in Turkey includes a visit to a hamam

The yoga juice fasting detox retreat includes a trip to a local ‘hamam’ (Turkish bath house), where the skin is thoroughly cleansed with a steam, exfoliation and scrub, and this is followed by a relaxing oil massage and mud face mask.

Not only is this excursion an enjoyable and relaxing self-indulgence and a helpful addition to the detox process, it is also a glimpse into the culture of Turkey. Turkish baths / hamams were an integral part of the Ottoman culture (and therefore Turkish culture) for centuries. Although the idea was possibly borrowed from the Greeks and Romans, the Ottomans transformed them from places simply for washing to an indispensable part of daily social life. 

The hamam we got to in Dalyan is a private one - two people at a time - and is close to the venue. You are picked up and dropped off by taxi arranged by the hamam.

benefits of the hamam
  • The skin is the largest organ in the body and because it is one of the eliminating organs, the hamam steam and scrub help it to effectively eliminate toxins.
  • The steam room causes the body to perspire and thus flush out toxins.
  • The exfoliation helps the lymph system clean itself of toxins that collect in the lymph glands.
  • Circulation is improved and the pores of the skin are opened, encouraging the body to discharge toxins, resulting in an increased ability to combat bacteria, plus helping the skin to look and feel healthier and more resilient.
