Harm and contraindications
When conducting a massage with honey, be sure to remember the precautions. Unfortunately, not everyone can carry out these procedures for the body. There are certain contraindications for massage with honey. So, you should not conduct a course of honey procedures for weight loss for people who have:
- oncological diseases;
- heart failure;
- active form of tuberculosis or tuberculous skin lesions;
- fungal infection of the skin;
- damage to the body (cuts, unhealed wounds);
- allergy to honey or individual intolerance to bee products.
Before you massage with honey for weight loss, you should definitely test for sensitivity to this beekeeping product. To do this, a small amount of honey must be applied to the hand and wait 20-30 minutes. After this time, the bee product from the skin should be washed off well with water and the skin integuments should be examined for any changes.
If red spots or blisters filled with a cloudy liquid appear on the skin after such an individual sensitivity test, then honey massage should not be performed.
The reason for the appearance of such skin rashes with a high degree of probability was an allergy to honey.
If such symptoms appear, you should take an antihistamine tablet and be sure to consult with an allergist in the future in order to confirm the presence of an allergic predisposition to bee products.
If, after the test for individual sensitivity, the skin remained clean, without severe redness and soreness, then in this case honey massage can be performed. It also happens that during the course of weight loss procedures, adverse symptoms may occur.
If you feel worse during a course of massage with honey, you should definitely stop doing it and seek the advice of a doctor.
Which honey to choose?
Many people think that any honey can be used for such a massage. This is not entirely true. The components contained in this bee product, as a rule, penetrate the skin layers well and exert their effect. But if honey is adulterated, then it may contain substances hazardous to human health. During such a massage for weight loss, these components can penetrate the skin, contributing to an increased risk of developing adverse symptoms.
When using high-quality bee products, the effect of the massage is usually quite fast and noticeable. Also, natural honey, which does not contain any additives and antibiotics, contains only components that are beneficial to human health. Using high-quality bee products for massage with honey helps not only to lose weight, but also to improve overall health.
Execution technique
Massage with honey can be done to your loved ones or even to yourself.The average time of one wellness procedure is usually 15-20 minutes. The timing can be varied.
The duration of the first massage with honey should not exceed 10 minutes. The first procedure is more preparatory. After it is carried out, it is imperative to assess the well-being and condition of the skin. If no adverse symptoms appear, then in this case, massage sessions with bee products can be continued.
Before the honey procedure, it is better to take a shower. Hands should also be clean and washed with soap. It is important to remember that if this simple rule of massage is violated, the risk of developing a bacterial infection increases significantly. Also, the biologically active components contained in the fragrant beekeeping product are better absorbed into clean skin.
For massage, you should prepare a small amount of honey. It should have a rather sticky texture. If the beekeeping product is sugared and crumbled, then such a product is not suitable for massage.
It is not necessary to use fresh, freshly harvested honey for a honey slimming procedure. Last year's bee product will also work. However, during the honey procedure, it should be melted in a water bath. After that, it will become more liquid and can be used for massage with the aim of losing weight.
During the massage with bee products, each zone is worked out separately.
A small portion of honey (approximately a tablespoon) should be well distributed over the skin and begin to massage with “tearing off” movements. In this case, the hands must be “glued” to the skin of the treated area, and then “torn off” quite sharply.Thus, you should work out section by section.
During the procedure, the texture and color of the applied bee product on the skin will change. It's quite normal. People who have carried out such procedures for weight loss at home note that the bee product becomes gray and less viscous during this type of massage.
Common mistakes and side effects
When performing massage movements, moderation should be observed. With an excessively sharp tearing off of the hands from the skin, hematomas and bruises may subsequently appear. As a rule, they appear the next day after the massage. With moderate tearing off of the hands during the procedure, the risk of developing such adverse symptoms is significantly reduced.
When carrying out the massage procedure with honey, you should wash your hands several times. As a rule, many people forget about this, which is a mistake. After working out one problem area and moving on to the next hand, it is better to wash and clean from honey. This will help simplify the massage procedure. To achieve maximum results, you should carefully follow the rules for this procedure.
One massage session with honey for weight loss is not enough. In order to get rid of a few centimeters on the body, a course of such procedures is required. It usually includes 12-15 sessions. The first noticeable result can be seen after 8-10 procedures.
After the procedure, it is very important to wash off the remnants of honey from the skin. To do this, take a shower. But there is no need to rush to immediately wash off the bee product from the skin. It is better to do this after a short rest - after 5-10 minutes. During this time, biologically active components are better absorbed into the skin.
After a shower, a moisturizer or lotion can be applied to the skin. Some women apply anti-cellulite products to the skin to enhance the effect of honey massage after a shower.
It is not necessary to carry out such body procedures every day, it is better to do them 3-4 times a week. Massage sessions are also allowed after 1-2 days. If desired, the course of such procedures for weight loss can be repeated after a few months.
When carrying out such a massage, a rather strong effect on the skin occurs. That is why such body treatments should not be combined with peeling. After them, you should not immediately go out into the bright sun, as the likelihood of developing sunburn increases significantly.
