Philippine massage: indications and types

In the world a huge number of massage techniques. There is also a Philippine independent massage system, known since ancient times, however, it is still not as common as one would like. However, here the Filipinos have something to boast about, because they have far more than one ancient massage technique.


At the heart of the Philippine massage is the use of aromatic ester oils. This massage is a powerful, tonic, cleansing and rejuvenating procedure. It starts with all the circular movements on the spine, the muscles located near it and the intervertebral discs.

Oils correct and slow down the aging process, increase the duration of life, lead to the metabolic processes occurring in the skin, normalize sleep, and the work of internal organs, eliminate stagnation in the body and even vision after their application comes back to normal. All this is due to the fact that the stimulation of biologically active points begins, and already through them, in its turn, the simulation of internal organs begins.

In addition, the skin itself, after the application of oils, begins to soften, and becomes more elastic.

Hilot massage

To another variety of the Philippine form of massage is cholothe massage. Massage is not just a masseur, it requires a specialist for diagnosis, a person who is well versed in medicinal plants and manual therapy. It is called such a specialist sakhist, which means a master of hilot.

The Master of Hylot is the most real healer, healer, who can direct vertebrae and joints, and is able to perform operations of non-surgical instruments.

Spiritual healers and still attract hundreds and thousands of people living in the world to themselves in the Philippines.

Nobody knows where and how the hilots came from. Everything that happened in the Philippines before the Spaniards, is covered with a veil of mystery and unravel the riddle of the ancient Philippine massage is beyond the power of anyone.

At first they treated him with simple strokes of the sore spot, and in the sequestering began to use the conjoined roots of plants, amulets and other subjects. Such doctors were given the name "manhyhilot", and this kind of massage has received a wide spread in the Philippines, as well as treatment with healers.

Among manhilohlots, who could learn to heal people, such seemingly simple stroking, there are both women and men and even children.

From the point of view of medicine, the chylot is explained as follows: under its influence in the body, the redistribution of neuro-electrical impulses begins, as a result of which the circulation of blood improves.

When performing a chital massage, coconut oil is often used for large leaves of plants, for example, banana. Leaves thus serve, what is called, a diagnostic tool by which the Masachist identifies the energy-related problematic spots on the human body. The master begins to work through all these zones with his thumbs. And despite the fact that the pressure is felt well, and sometimes even pain, after the session all patients begin to feel much better.

Conducting a chalot massage is carried out not only with fingers. Special wood balls and sticks are also used for it.

Wooden balls are just the basis of massage. They come in different sizes. The masseur begins to rotate the ball along the spine, gradually leveling it and filling it with miraculous energy and strength. Balls made from different breeds of wood, have a curative effect on the energy of man, constantly protecting it from accumulated fatigue and overload.

The whole point is that through sensitive local skin, the effect begins on that organ, which for one reason or another is in a diseased state. In addition, the therapeutic effect includes the biopolemic therapist, the balls themselves and essential oils.

As a result, the energy balance of internal organs and the whole organism is restored.

Activation of blood circulation and lymph circulation begins, immunity improves, the nervous system normalizes, sophoritis normalizes, brain activity improves, the risk of atherosclerotic vascular lesions decreases.

After the procedure, adaptation is greatly improved. Man becomes more calm, resistant to stress, begins to radiate optimism. Moreover - a person aligns his back, a beautiful and stately posture appears, and the fat and folds disappear.

Massage-chilot very successfully combined with a Philippine massage, called stop-dagay. To perform it you need small sticks.

Philippine MassageVentose

This is another kind of ancient Philippine massage, which deeply affects the dorsal muscles and connective tissue.

Massage is performed in oil, using six-special jars and lighted candles.

The procedure is carried out in a relaxed atmosphere, with the use of quiet Asian melodies, muted light and refined aromas of the essential oils. The masseur places the lighted candles on special points of acupuncture, and from above he puts on jars. During the procedure, the jars begin to slide slowly along the massage lines of the back, applying vacuum to various parts. This effect helps to relieve stress and reduce pain in the connective tissues, plus everything, muscle is relieved of stress. This is because the nerve endings of the skin and tissues begin to irritate, the flow of arterial blood flows to the venous outflow, and the circulation of lymph circulation improves.
