Does a hamam detox the body or treat illness?
Do not choose a hamam on promises of detoxification, weight loss or disease treatment. Treat it as a bathing experience; personal health suitability requires individual medical advice.

Can I ask for a gentle scrub?
Yes. Ask before the scrub begins and again if the pressure feels too strong. Buying a package does not mean agreeing to uncomfortable pressure.
Should I bring shampoo or my own toiletries?
Bring products you prefer, but check what is supplied and allowed. Tell staff about products you want to avoid before the treatment starts.
How do I explain my boundaries to the attendant?
State your preferred coverage, pressure and any areas you do not want treated before starting. You can change your mind or ask to pause at any time.
