Honey
massage is considered a type of soft tissue massage. The effect of honey
massage is based on the interaction between the human skin and the active and
nourishing components of pure honey, as well as the powerful stress-relieving
effects of reflex therapy. The skin zone reactions provide for the patient's
health diagnosis.
It is not only
the sweet substance, but it is how you care of your health. Honey massage first
appeared in ancient Tibet, then coming to be effective in both East and West.
Unique ability of honey to absorb toxins and to quickly extract them from the
organism was perfectly known to the Tibetan healers. Natural flower honey is
usually used for this purpose. To get the procedure more effective, the massage
therapeutist blends honey with some aroma oil, among which orange, lemon, eucalyptus,
lavender oils or the oil of pomelo or juniper, or mix of several aroma oils.
The massage
therapeutist identifies the quantity of aroma oil to avoid allergic reaction of
the skin, and if high risk is available in individual cases, aroma oil is not added
to honey at all.
Honey
massage is usually performed as an individual massage procedure and also one of
the best and most effective remedies to get rid of cellulite. It has been
tested by many women of different ages and they all have had great success with
it. Honey massage is an amazing rejuvenating treatment that also helps to
cleanse your body from the toxic cellular waste products and lose inches around
your thighs. Providing, you use high-quality pure honey with all those active
ingredients but not the refined honey.
When used as
a general procedure, honey massage improves the skin, cleanse the pores, and moreover,
the skin is opportune when nourished with nutrient agents, thus having even
healthy complexion and getting more elastic and silky.
The massaging
of the skin with honey recovers the blood circulation, increases skin
penetrability and afterwards it effectively absorbs nutrient agents from the
honey mask.
Honey
massage is usually performed as the course of 10 to 15 procedures on every
other day.
This
procedure is different from the other traditional massages for it is made by
the unique technique. The massage therapeutist prepares the blend of honey and
oil or just honey substance and spreads it onto the body or the problem zone in
tapping movements. Honey is then massaged until it becomes sticky, then it is worked
by special technique. Easy at first, "ungluing" the hands becomes
more difficult with every move because the tension force increases. Massage
lasts until the palms no longer stick to the massaged area, and the honey
disappears from it. Then pellets appear on the skin surface. These pellets are
believed to be toxins drawn from the body and absorbed into the honey. Thus, the
honey favorably affects the organism in two ways; it is proved that toxins are vacuumed
from the organism through pores. And, second, the organism is nourished by wholesome
substances the honey contains.
It takes
you 10 to 15 minutes when a problem zone is massaged, while the massage of the
whole body will take an hour or so. First, back and legs and buttocks are done,
and after the honey mask is washed off in the shower. Then, the client lies
onto the back, and the front side of the body is massaged.
The ones,
who anyway decide for the honey massage, should be informed that sometimes the
intensive massage may leave haematoma on the skin that will disappear by time,
though. A couple of procedures in the beginning may be very painful.
Honey massage
is considered as additional procedure just after the mud treatment and anti-cellulite
massage. Also it is good to use when the whole organism needs rejuvenation, to remove
toxins and waste. The skin is so thankful to the honey that it gets smooth and velvet
after the procedure.
Since honey
massage is quite a painful procedure, there are some contraindications to have
this kind of massage. People suffering from varix dilatation, trombophlebitis, allergy,
asthma, tumor masses, thyroid function abnormality, some dermal and venereal
diseases and AIDS, are not at all advised that they have it.
If you are too lazy or do not feel like going out
for any procedures made on you, you may want to stay at home and try this by
yourself. Make sure, you have a good quality honey and gently rub it into the
problem zones. If allergy is not your enemy, then you may prepare an
oil-and-honey mixture, adding 2-5 drops of any aroma oil or mix several types
of them into 2 teaspoon of honey. Make sure that your working mixture is
fresh-made. Do not cut down on your health, since it is your beauty. Take your
time and this tasty way to stay younger and healthier will become one of your favorite
procedures.
