Temazcal

According to the Mexica, the temazcal is a return to the maternal womb, presided over by extraordinary energies such as Tonantzin. She, our loving mother, concerned for the well-being of her children, welcomes us back into her womb—a microcosmic manifestation—to heal physical and spiritual ailments.

Healing properties of the temazcal that scientific studies have demonstrated:

On the skin: It acts as a regulatory mechanism for the body's internal temperature, allowing the elimination of accumulated toxins.
In the respiratory system: Primarily for problems such as colds, bronchitis, asthma, and sinusitis. The rise in temperature and the combination of steam with the aroma of medicinal plants helps to clear the airways.
In the circulatory system: The temazcal produces an increase in blood circulation, dilating the vessels and facilitating the expulsion of toxins, uric acid, and cholesterol.
In the muscular system: It improves activity to prevent problems such as sprains, blows, twists and inflammations.
In the nervous system: During the bath, a relaxing and stimulating effect is produced on the body, thus reducing problems of stress, insomnia, nervous tension, etc.
In the digestive system: It improves intestinal activity, eliminating fluids and fats to help with weight loss.
