Features of the procedure
Honey is applied to the skin, and as it is absorbed, the massage therapist performs characteristic sticking-tearing techniques on the palms. This increases blood flow to the surface tissues and significantly improves microcirculation, and the skin receives the nutrients of honey. The procedure is noticeable, after which slight redness is possible - this is a normal reaction. Honey massage is not performed if you are allergic to bee products, have skin damage or have severe varicose veins in the affected area.
