Turkish Bath Massage, also known as Hamam Massage, is a traditional body treatment that originated in the ancient Roman baths and evolved in the Ottoman Empire. It is a unique and luxurious experience that combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, and relaxation, often performed in a heated marble room designed to open pores and purify the skin.

Techniques:


1. Peeling (Exfoliation):
   - The massage begins with a vigorous body scrub using a special exfoliating glove called a *kese*. This process removes dead skin cells, stimulates blood circulation, and leaves the skin smooth and rejuvenated.
   
2. Foam Massage:
   - After exfoliation, the therapist uses a cloth bag (also known as a *torba*) filled with soap to create a thick, frothy lather, which is then massaged into the skin. The foam massage involves gentle but firm strokes that relax muscles and cleanse the skin deeply.

3. Rinsing:
   - Warm water is poured over the body to rinse off the soap and exfoliated skin, leaving the body refreshed.

4. Oil Massage (Optional):
   - Following the traditional foam massage, an oil massage may be offered. This involves using natural oils, applied with gentle massage techniques to moisturize the skin and further relax the muscles.

Equipments:


- Marble Slabs:

The massage is performed on heated marble slabs, which help to warm the body, open the pores, and enhance relaxation.


- Kese (Exfoliating Glove): 

A coarse mitt used for scrubbing the body and removing dead skin cells.


- Torba (Soap Bag): 

A cloth bag filled with natural soap that is used to create the foam for the foam massage.


- Copper Bowls:

Traditionally used to pour warm water over the body during the rinsing phase.


- Natural Oils:

 Often used in the optional oil massage to nourish the skin and add an extra layer of relaxation.
