Turkish Bath (disambiguation)

Turkish bath is a generic term historically used to connote both steam baths, and hot-air baths which use dry air. It has also been inaccurately used in the Western world to describe the hammam, a bath which is an intrinsic part of Islamic culture.

• A Hammam is a steam bath used for centuries throughout the Islamic world for personal cleansing and socialising, and is not a specifically Turkish bath.

• Victorian Turkish baths use hot dry air, came into use in 1856 in the British Isles as a therapy, for personal cleansing, and socialising.
