The main features of Japanese massage

Japanese gymnastics for the face of Asahi is performed with only two fingers: index-middle or middle and ring fingers. Gymnastics can be performed independently, but carefully so as not to harm the blood flow. The main work of massage is aimed at stimulating the work of the lymph nodes and connective tissues. All exercises pass along the lymphatic lines. It is forbidden to press hard on the lymph nodes, so as not to harm the body. Japanese gymnastics for the face is divided into 2 types:
