What is Mongolian Milk Massage?
It is a deeply relaxing massage that has been carried out in Mongolia for hundreds of years and consists of four distinct stages. A full treatment will take 45 minutes. Traditionally, the treatment would have been performed just on the back, but experienced massage therapists can also use the techniques on the arms, legs, abdomen and midriff. There are two reasons to why hot milk is used in Mongolia as a massage medium; firstly as an Ayurvedic treatment to balance the three energies of the body and secondly, as a beauty ritual to prepare for marriage, pre and post natal. The therapy is safe and gentle, but very, very effective. The course will teach you the basics of the therapy and how to perform it safely and professionally.
