Platzaman is the person who performs the "Platza" treatment at a Russian & Turkish bathhouse. The Platza treatment is a traditional service in which a bundle of oak leaves, known as a "venik," is used to invigorate the skin. The oak leaves are soaked in warm water, and the platzaman would then use the venik to rhythmically tap or brush the person receiving the treatment. This process helps to open up the pores, release toxins, and improve blood circulation. The platzaman plays an essential role in providing a rejuvenating and invigorating experience for the bathhouse visitors.
