点评:I recently visited Yaan Healing Sanctuary in Tulum for a private Temazcal ceremony with a group of six in December. While the staff was welcoming and the grounds were beautiful and well-maintained, I feel compelled to share our unfortunate experience.
The ceremony itself was pleasant; however, five out of six women in our group developed skin reactions several days later. These reactions varied from mild irritation to severe conditions due to one of the herbs used during the ceremony, specifically Ruda, which is known to cause skin irritation and sun-reactive burns. This resulted in a condition called phytophotodermatitis, which can lead to long-lasting skin discoloration.
We were not told either before or after the ceremony that such a reaction was possible.
As we return to the US, some of us are still dealing with this skin reaction, and it may take months to resolve. I strongly advise caution if you're considering participating in the Temazcal ceremony, especially regarding the use of specific herbs. It's important to be aware of potential reactions and take necessary precautions.

仪式本身令人愉悦;然而,我们六位女性中有五位在几天后出现了皮肤反应。这些反应的严重程度不一,从轻微刺激到严重疾病都有,而罪魁祸首正是仪式中使用的一种草药——鲁达(Ruda)。这种草药已知会引起皮肤刺激和日光性灼伤。最终导致我们患上了植物光敏性皮炎,这种疾病可能会导致永久性的皮肤变色。
仪式前后,我们都没有被告知可能会出现这种反应。
回到美国后,我们中的一些人仍在与这种皮肤反应作斗争,可能需要数月才能痊愈。如果您正在考虑参加特马斯卡尔仪式,我强烈建议您谨慎行事,尤其是在使用特定草药方面。了解可能出现的不良反应并采取必要的预防措施非常重要。
