The human body has an energy highway called the meridian. Energy flows throughout this meridian which accesses the entire body from top to toe, with different levels of energy being distributed across the whole body network.
The meridian energy network is more of a process rather than a structure and cannot be detected in medical terms.
Meridian lines can be mapped throughout the body and exist in pairs; yin and yang. Each line has a number of acupuncture points along its path which can be stimulated through massage.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, massaging the acupuncture points along the meridian lines helps the flow of energy and blood throughout the body, helping to achieve complete wellbeing in the body which, in turn, helps to stave off common health problems and sickness.
Here at Buddha Beauty, our Thai thermal stamp massage utilises the meridian lines to aid in relaxation and rebalance. We use the same method that has been used since the 14th Century which is a warm cotton cloth containing a mix of herbs that are beneficial to the skin and body. It is tightly bundled up and then boiled to make the thermal stamp.
We then use this stamp to massage the pressure points along the meridian lines before taking the massage to the rest of the skin. The ingredients work with the heat to soothe and relax the body. The ingredients we use help with:
Detoxification
re-mineralisation
anti-inflammation
anti-itching
soothing
stress reduction
exfoliation
Many practitioners believe that working the meridian lines in massage is one of the most useful and cost-effective ways to take care of oneself.
