Honey massage

Honey massage (also called tapping or Russian massage) is a therapy known for a long time, used in North America, Ukraine, Russia, and Japan. During honey massage, the process of skin and subcutaneous tissue regeneration — including muscles — is activated, and the skin is cleansed by expelling accumulated toxins and excess minerals through the skin. In a later stage, honey massage is combined with classic massage for effective and faster health improvement.

Effects

Massage with warm honey supports sweat gland secretion, facilitating the removal of harmful substances through the skin. It draws out accumulated toxins, opens pores, and intensely oxygenates. It is much more effective than peeling and sauna. It is an original method of manual therapy. Combining therapeutic massage with the action of honey helps unblock the lymphatic system and stimulates sweat gland secretion. The massage improves circulatory efficiency, has anti-inflammatory effects, and supports the body’s natural immunity (hardens the body).

It has a beneficial effect on:

• depression;
• low mood;
• nicotine withdrawal;
• reduces nervous hyperactivity;
• regenerates after fatigue and exhaustion;
• stabilizes sleep;
• regenerates and nourishes the skin and effectively prevents cellulite, stretch marks, and scars.

Contraindications

• honey intolerance (allergy to bee products);
• cancer;
• advanced varicose veins and fragile blood vessels;
• atherosclerosis;
• fever and subfebrile state;
• pregnancy.

Note

Honey massage is performed on smooth skin surfaces. People with hair, e.g. on the back, should undergo wax depilation before honey massage (3–4 days before the massage).
