The best massage spa NYC has to offer is one that comes with the added benefits of a dry or wet sauna. Throughout history, physicians have praised the therapeutic value of a sweat bath and the numerous advantages it has on overall health. Saunas give a relaxing feeling to the body besides acting as relief to common cold, hangovers, headaches and arthritis. The earliest evidence of sauna use can be traced back to Mexico and throughout Central America.
Here is a brief history of the origins of sauna use for beauty and healing:
The temazcal is Central America’s version of the sauna during the pre-Hispanic rule of the indigenous peoples. “Tema” means house of heat and/or “to bathe” from the Aztec language. The ancient Mesoamerican people used the temazcal as part of curative ceremony believed to purify the body after physical excursion such as fighting in war or ceremonial games. It is also believed to have been used for improving the overall health of the ill and during child labor. Historically, the temazcal was made of volcanic rock and cement shaped like a dome. In some instances, rectangular shaped temazclas have been uncovered in archeological digs. Volcanic rocks were ideal for the high heated rooms as they don’t explode.
