As a complement to natural medicines, because massage is the oldest way to deal with pain, isn't it?
Oriental massage or massage originating from the East is a very comprehensive type of massage, used to complement alternative medicines, including those prescribed by doctors and therapists of natural medicines, such as Ayurvedic Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu and Japanese Acupuncture and Thai Massage , among other techniques.
Oriental massages, due to their ancestry and effectiveness, lead to higher levels than massages developed in the West: in addition to providing a deep relaxation of body and mind, they rebalance the energy flow in the body through pressure in certain areas and points of the body.
For thousands of years the Orient has used the oldest and simplest form of therapy: massage! In murals, tombs and ceramics there are records of the use of massage techniques in China, Japan, Egypt and Persia for over 5,000 years. Which means that massage and humanity practically came together!

The pioneering book on the subject, Nei Ching (known in the West as the “Yellow Emperor's Book”) was written in 2800 BC
Since then, this and other civilizations have developed their own massage styles, based on their culture, and the oriental techniques have lasted until today, in the path of energy rebalancing to improve health and well-being.
The oriental massage technique consists of pressing points on the body, usually with the hands, fingers and elbows, with more superficial movements or movements that involve deep pressure, to promote a feeling of relaxation from head to toe, reduce pain and treat some problems with health.
