Massage by medical banks
With the help of a burning swab impregnated with alcohol, there is a rarefaction of air, which creates a vacuum in the jar. When the cans come in contact with the body, the skin begins to retract to a height of a few centimeters, and acquires a purple-pink hue.
In childhood, many of us parents put banks for the treatment of colds or other respiratory diseases. Now, with an abundance of different medicines, few people apply this method of treatment, but this principle has proved to be very popular in cosmetology, it is on it that the cosmetology procedure, now called vacuum massage, is based. As it turned out, this massage has not only a therapeutic but also a cosmetological effect on the skin.
Vacuum jar for massage
For this type of massage, those parts of the body where a sufficient muscle-fat layer is the lumbar region, the line along the spine, the shoulder region, the hip and the upper third of the shin are suitable for this type of massage. The duration of the massage is from 5 to 20 minutes. When expressed persistent reddening of the skin, the procedure should be completed.
The effect of vacuum massage on the body
In the area of exposure to vacuum, decay of erythrocytes begins, which leads to stimulation of local immunity in tissues. Due to increased blood circulation and irritation of the nerve endings under the skin, a sensation of heat arises in the area of the jar exposure.
It is important to conduct the movement of the canal towards the venous outflow, since this allows the movement of lymph in one direction with the movement of venous blood. To do this, you need to move the jar in the chest area from the sternum to the side of the spine along the intercostal spaces, along the spine - this direction is from the bottom up, on the hands and feet - towards the center. If the bank moves in the opposite direction, it is imperative that the final movement goes along the veins.
Before starting the procedure, the specialist conducts pulsed stimulation of the lymph nodes located in the clavicle area. Then go to the lower region of the neck, then - in the middle and upper part of the neck. After processing one half of the neck, it is necessary to improve the outflow of lymph in the lower third of the face towards the lymph nodes located in the region of the chin and lower jaw.
The outflow of lymph from the middle part of the face goes to the lymph nodes located near the ears, then gradually approaching the eye area.
The periorbital zone also needs to be stimulated in order to improve the lymph flow. Vacuum massage is combined with various cosmetic procedures.
The duration of the face vacuum massage is no more than 7 minutes.
