Honey massage
The honey massage is a natural healing method
for detoxification. Already the old Egyptians knew about the healing effects of honey and also women from the orient used honey as a beauty product ever since. But the origins of the honey massage are however rooted in Tibet and Russia.
Honey massages count as natural medicine, which can be used in form of a healing massage, for therapeutic purposes and for detoxing. Honey massages are connective tissue and fasciae treatments. The massage is applied with the help of plucking and drawing techniques. Plucking and drawing promotes the blood circulation. Also, dead skin cells come of. The whole organism gets detoxified and strengthened and it is also said that energy blockades dissolve.
Mostly, the back area to shoulder area is treated with a honey massage. But also cellulites on thighs can be effectively treated with honey.
