Tsuboki Japanese Face Massage

Description

Note: for face massage, do not wear makeup or have your hair done. I will provide a hair band to protect the hairline during the facial work. Tsubo - Acupressure Points along the Meridians Ki - Energy in the Meridians Tsuboki - Pressing the tsubo to influence the flow of Ki (life force energy) Tsuboki is a four stage energizing massage: - A detailed neck, head and face massage relaxes and rejuvenates, improves skin tone and appearance. - Helps prevent wrinkles and reduce existing ones. - Stimulates 8 meridians and over 50 acupressure points balancing your body’s energy system. - Lymphatic drainage to eliminate metabolic waste.
