The temazcal seems to be ubiquitous in backyards of many traditional homes I have visited. It’s a kind of sauna/steam using hot rocks and water and usually herbs. It’s an elegant bathing solution for communities without running water. They use the temazcal for cleaning and purification on both mundane and spiritual levels. Often you’ll find rue and other herbs nearby. Surprisingly, I have never taken a temazcal. Just never has popped up. It’s on the to do list.
