The baths or 'hamams' as they are named, are
for many aspects of health, not just for
external cleanliness. Before Turkey was
established as a separate country, the
Romans, Byzantines, and nomadic peoples of
the region had their own variations of
bathing rituals. These traditions combined,
creating a different variation of these
ancient bathing habits, The Turkish Bath.
The bather
enters the dry heat of a sweating area.
Afterwards, the bather begins to perspire
heavily because of a wet steam.The skin is
then washed with soap and warm water and the
muscles massaged. After being scoured and
washed, the bather's body temperature
returns to normal from swimming in cold
water. Closely interweaved with everyday
life, as well as the Muslim mandates for
cleanliness and respect for the varied
functions of water, the hamam will probably
survive modernity with many other things in
Western Asia.
