Raved as a beautifying and medicinal ritual, rhassoul or the mud bath ritual pioneered in the Middle East. It used mineral-rich silt of the Dead Sea to treat skin conditions. Held in a traditional steam room or designed rhassoul mud areas, mud is applied onto the bather’s body either by a therapist or by a partner. Rhassoul is a popular couples treatment as couples can enjoy the experience together. After the mud application, bathers enter a warm, herb-infused steam bath that encourages relaxation and detoxification. The aromatherapy enhances the rhassoul experience for the bathers leaving them sensual and relaxed.
