The process can take anywhere from 60 minutes, concentrating on a localised area, to two hours when working on the whole body. Used for common illnesses like colds, flu and blocked sinuses. It is also recommended for people who are forced to sedentary lifestyles, or those who want to reduce puffiness or swelling. It is also beneficial for problem skin, cellulite, wrinkles, dysfunctional respiratory systems and people with low energy. Very effective for detoxing.
