Chinese massage: healing touch technology

Chinese massage can rightfully be considered one of the most ancient types of massage. The unity of man and nature is the basic law on which massage is based.

The main goal of this treatment is to restore Qi energy and bring harmony to the body. A true master of his craft will not only perform the techniques, but also, through his efforts, will direct the Chi energy through the necessary energy channels of the body. Each person receives a certain part of the energy individually. A Chinese massage master will redistribute energy in such a way that the balance of yin and yang is balanced, which will significantly increase a person’s capabilities.

Vitality and inner harmony are restored

Today, specialists from many countries are carefully studying the direction of Chinese massage techniques. This ancient art form has become one of the most beloved types of massage of all mankind.

The difference between Chinese massage and Western massage

As a rule, basic types of massage stimulate blood circulation and relieve muscle tension. This happens through basic techniques that affect soft tissue. In this concept, all types and varieties of the procedure are identical, with a slight difference in the physical effect on the body.

As for the Chinese technique, the effect is based not only on the current of energy. The imbalance and blockage that occurs in the flow is considered the root of all diseases in the body. Based on this, the Chinese technique is aimed not only at relaxing the body and relieving muscle tension, but also at extracting the root of all diseases. For this purpose, a wide range of massage techniques are used in a beneficial combination with stretching and meridian massage.

First of all, the massage therapist must find out in which part of the body the imbalance has formed, which organs are affected by the disease. There are a huge number of diagnostic methods: from questions, examination, to feeling the pulse, and everything in this vein.

Based on this, the massage therapist performs various forms: from deep tissue massage to light tapping and patting. All movements are distributed: some belong to yin (have a powerful cleansing effect), others belong to yang (have a tonic effect).

Chinese massage effect

The result that can be achieved:

1. Significant improvement in blood circulation and lymph;
2. Deep relaxation of tendons and muscles;
3. Removing waste and toxins from the body;
4. Restoration of vital energy Qi;
5. Relieving tension in internal organs;

The massage will reach its peak only if it is performed by a healthy, balanced person, detached from all problems. Bad habits and a negative attitude of a massage therapist will never allow him to achieve the results in question.

Aromatherapy

It is believed that the use of essential oils in the procedures helps to better accept the benefits that the procedure brings. Aromatherapy combined with massage is a very powerful weapon. Let's look at a few examples:

There is an inseparable connection between soul and body. Therefore, emotional experiences can lead to internal imbalance. If we take the element of metal as an example, grief and sadness associated with it can lead to a weakening of the energy of the lung current. This can lead to respiratory problems. The internal state will also suffer: the person will feel lonely and alienated. In this case, the Chinese massage procedure in combination with essential oils will not only strengthen the immune system, but also relieve a person from internal worries.

The use of essential oils is an excellent addition to Chinese massage.

Chinese massage with spoons

To perform a Chinese facial massage with spoons, you need to know a few things.

1. It is best to massage with spoons in the morning, when the skin is most ready to receive treatment;
2. Massage must be performed on clean skin.

The technique consists of alternately applying spoons and performing basic massage techniques with spoons. In this case, the spoons are wetted alternately in cold and hot water. Afterwards, they are lubricated with cream and you can proceed to the techniques.

All movements are performed along massage lines, as well as in circular movements. Make sure there is no inflammation or redness on the skin. Only in this case can you move on to techniques.

Facial skin will become elastic and fresh

Chinese acupressure

Chinese acupressure has been known since ancient times. It received official recognition as a folk medicine in the 18th century. This type of massage can be performed either with the help of a specialist or at home.

By influencing the points, you can cure many problems

The basis of the entire massage is the impact of fingers on certain active points. As is already known, each point is continuously connected with the nervous system, which, in turn, affects the internal organs. Due to this connection, the effect of massage occurs.

The result that can be achieved with this therapy is increased blood flow and pain relief. This leads to increased body resistance to various diseases. Acupressure can be used for both children and adults, changing only the intensity of the effect. It is used for stress, the treatment of obesity, headaches, bronchitis, arthritis, stomach ulcers and many other diseases.

Methods of influencing the body

1. Kneading

The desired point is determined, then with the pad of the thumb they begin to make circular movements in the center of the point.

1. Pressure

One of the main techniques. You should start with lighter pressures, increasing the intensity over time. If the patient feels pain, it is better to stop the procedure.

1. Stroking

This technique is performed using two thumbs. Stroking is performed in two directions with equal force. A person feels warmth at the massaged point.

1. Trituration

Used in many types of massage. In this form, rubbing is performed with the back of the hand or with the pads of the fingers. This technique can relieve chills and numbness.

1. stabbing

Quite a scary name. The thrusting is performed either with the thumb or with a combination of the index, thumb and middle fingers. The reception is carried out slowly and carefully.

1. Vibration

The vibration technique is applied after each subsequent thrusting technique. The technique is performed with the thumb or middle finger.

The procedure is performed in a calm, relaxing environment.

Chinese facial massage

This technique has a very beneficial effect on the appearance and condition of the skin. It is believed that something inexplicable is happening to one’s appearance. By applying the wonderful effects of massage on yourself, you can direct the body’s work towards internal self-rejuvenation.

Through the procedure, there is an active effect not only on the external facial muscles, but also on the deeper layers of the skin, including blood vessels. The direct effect on the internal organs and deep layers of the skin occurs through manipulation of certain points located on the face. The impact exerted on active points, to some extent, awakens the body to activate deep processes for self-healing.

With a facial massage you can forget about wrinkles and dull skin. It is believed that some kind of complex renewal of the face occurs, having a beneficial effect on hearing, facial nerves, smell, and vision.

The impact exerted on active points, to some extent, awakens the body to activate deep processes for self-healing.

Algorithm for conducting exercises

Of course, to experience the full healing potential of Chinese massage, you still need to trust in the hands of a professional. But this does not mean that you cannot perform techniques and techniques yourself. Having studied a few simple, in my opinion, exercises, you can immerse yourself in an atmosphere of beauty and health from the first minutes of the session.

Before you begin the procedure, your facial skin must be cleansed and massage oil applied. Almond oil works best. It is recommended to repeat each exercise 8 times.

Chinese foot massage

As you know, there are a large number of biologically active points on the feet, which in one way or another affect the functioning of internal organs. By influencing certain points, you can improve vision, hearing, digestive problems, etc. Although the area of ​​influence is quite small, the effect does not decrease. The right influence can bring amazing results.

The acupressure technique is used for various diseases: high body fatigue, blood pressure, and also leg disease. First of all, the procedure will be useful for women who prefer to wear high-heeled shoes.

It is recommended to start the procedure by taking herbal foot baths. This will allow your feet to warm up well and prepare for the upcoming procedures.
