With age, we note, looking in the mirror, that our eyes are tired and sad. Eyebrows, upper eyelid goes down, the outer corners of the eyes crawl down, small wrinkles and even deep ones appear, which seem to be due to edema. Asian Shiatsu massage helps to rejuvenate and “put back” the area around the eyes, and its main difference from others is that its only movements are pressing certain points. Japanese women make Shiatsu, and perhaps this is the secret of their beauty and youth?

What is Shiatsu massage

The name of the massage came from two Japanese words: “pressure” and the finger, “it was coined by Japanese Tokujiro Namikoshi at the beginning of the 20th century. The massage was based on knowledge of the anatomy and secrets of Tibetan medicine, the author used it to treat arthritis.

A simple and effective method was liked and took root, It was officially recognized in Japan and is still used very actively, including in cosmetology. It is interesting that the author of the method lived up to 95 years and looked much younger than his age until the end of his life. He said that massage was based on instinct as well. e, when a person mechanically rubs and heats a place that hurts.

How does it work? There are certain points on the body and face, the pressure on which helps the blood and lymph to circulate better, and metabolic processes in the tissues occur much faster and more efficiently. The natural process of renewing the body starts.

When doing it yourself, you do not need to massage the zones (only a specialist can do this). Press with medium intensity to feel slight discomfort.

If we are talking about the area around the eyes, then with the help of massage:

• Muscles are strengthened;
• Wrinkles are smoothed out;
• Skin elasticity increases due to stimulation of the accelerated production of collagen and elastin;
• The production of sebum is normalized.
