Today, the number of types of massage is only growing, and all the novelties in this area are aimed at preserving the health, youth, and energy of a person. Еstet-portal.com will talk about what unusual types of massage exist in the modern world, and how each of them affects our body.
Exotic, extreme, grace: unusual types of massage in the world practice
Snake
For the first time such a massage was offered to visitors one of the Israeli spas. About an hour the patient is massaged by 5-6 snakes. The founder of serpentotherapy, Ada Barak, says that reptiles are absolutely safe because they are not poisonous. And she personally monitors the process so that the snakes do not crawl away from the “workplace”. Such a procedure has a beneficial effect on people, & nbsp; prone to neuroses and depressions, suffering from headaches or feeling chronically tired.
Massage with snakes relieves muscle pain and normalizes heart rhythms. The healing effect of snake therapy is achieved through the smooth, soothing and relaxing movements of snakes on the skin.
Intensive muscle work is provided by large reptiles, and small ones are suitable for light strokes.
Of course, the remedy is more than peculiar, however, it is effective and has no contraindications (except for hostility to the reptiles involved in the process).
With the help of cacti
To carry out this procedure, a plant of the cactus family, growing in Mexico, is used – free prickly pear, or rather, its leaves. They are cleaned of thorns, then soaked in agave alcohol tincture, and after warming up, they are laid out on problem areas of the body. The skin is moistened with tequila, and the massage is performed with light movements in the form of strokes with cacti. At the same time, the client is treated to the same tequila. Of course, cactus therapy is not as extreme as snake massage and, in addition to this – more enjoyable.
Box massage
In this case, a facial massage is performed by weighing weighty slaps. The procedure is positioned as an effective way to get rid of wrinkles and is offered in one of the American beauty salons. The procedure is based on Thai acupressure.
Boxing massage consists of a series of rather tangible blows and pinches on those areas of the skin that are problematic.
There are only ten masters capable of performing such a massage professionally, they studied directly from a Thai guru, who, in turn, inherited the secret of the procedure from his grandmother. Facial massage with slaps has a rejuvenating effect, blood circulation improves, and the rejuvenating effect is "fixed" for quite a long time, as the procedure has a profound effect.
With the use of knives
This extreme procedure has a relaxing effect, normalizes the circulation of blood and, oddly enough, has an analgesic effect. In essence, this is an alternative acupuncture: in this case, the acupuncture effect is carried out by 25-centimeter billhooks. The session is preceded by sharpening the tool, this is certainly done on a wet stone. Before starting the procedure, the blade is treated with iodine. Then the patient's back covered with a cloth is massaged with secant, rhythmically following movements. Often, clients are afraid of such an impact on the body, however, Taiwanese masseurs (namely, this massage is from Taiwan) assure that there is no danger, they exclude cuts and pain.
Gemmatotherapy (massage with precious stones)
A rather refined procedure based on the bioenergetic effect of the gems. stones on the human body, including during the massage process. Precious minerals relieve negative energy and in a mild form activate "stagnation" zones. The result of hematotherapy, which is carried out on the chakras, is the strengthening of immunity, a deep relaxing effect, regeneration of metabolism and general healing.
Massage is always massage. But, as you can see, some of its types involve the use of rather unusual, one might say, even extreme ingredients and techniques. All this is done with the aim of "pulling out" a person from the networks of diseases, energize, restore strength.
