Psammotherapy

What is Psammotherapy?

Psammotherapy, also known as hot sand bath therapy, is an ancient healing practice that has been used for thousands of years. Siwa Oasis is renowned worldwide for its naturally heated desert sands, which maintain therapeutic temperatures perfect for healing treatments.

This natural therapy involves burying the body in warm sand that has been heated by the desert sun. The unique combination of heat, minerals, and the weight of the sand creates a powerful therapeutic effect that has helped countless people find relief from chronic conditions.
