2) Snake
Massage
Snake massage is famous in Israel. Israelites benefit from snake massage by
taking a non-poisonous snake for their back. It is believed that the snake’s
twisting and shivering helps relax muscles and support blood circulation. It
also gives them a deep-tissue massage. There are two types of snakes used for
massaging –the small and large snake. Small snakes are used for delicate massage
while the bigger ones are for deep tissue therapy. This might be scary and
creepy but it was proven that it’s safe and effective. For those who are afraid
of snakes, they let them touch or hold the snake first before using it for
massage.

Pedicure

the doctor fish also eliminates calluses from the bottom of the feet. Major foot
problems like corns and heel fissures can be removed by fish pedicure. Aside
from keeping the feet soft and clean, some believe that the fish can enliven
acupuncture points on the feet. As a result, a person’s nervous system will be
regulated. The procedure can also release fatigue and relax the body. It takes
150 or more fish to clear away the dead skin from one customer.

treatment.Tip: If you are using toothpaste for spot treatment, avoid applying
moisturizers after washing it off because it will irritate the skin. Also, make

acids. The mixture is a combination of caviar, massaged together with marine
extracts to exfoliate and clean the face. Because caviar is rich with amino
acids and peptides, people believe that it can be beneficial to the skin and can
work as an anti-aging agent as well as an acne fighter. The mixture feels cool
on the face making it good for relaxing. Opposite from what everyone expects,
the mixture does not smell fishy at all. In fact, some caviar facials do not
have a strong scent, just a mild soapy smell. |

9) Leech
Therapy
The use of leeches for beauty treatment started in China. Horrible as it may
seem, but these leeches are used to get rid of acne. Freshwater leeches are used
for this treatment. At first, the person will feel an icy feeling as the leeches
are placed on the skin. It will then feel as if the leeches are poking the skin
like tiny needles. It is believed that leeches help in stimulating blood flow.
The leeches will be removed from the face after two hours, when they are already
bloated with blood. Therapists would advise the client not to scratch the face
because it increases the likilhood of bacteria entering through the skin. |

After the therapy, the same leeches can be used for a lifting mask. This
time, the blood of the client, which the leeches have sucked during the therapy,
together with leech substance will be applied all over the face. Nowadays, there
are cosmetics that contain leech extracts. However, some believe that the
extract would be more beneficial when directly applied on the skin. Leech is
rich with lipids, which is known to lift the face and reduce pimples. After the
mask is washed off, its effects can already be seen. The face is lifted, the
complexion looks younger and visibility of acne is greatly reduced.
