Bamboo massage originated in China and it is becoming more and more popular. Bamboo is considered a powerful plant that represents strength, fertility, and prosperity. A bamboo massage is a massage therapy that uses bamboo sticks to massage the body – these sticks can be heated.
We have kindly been sent a full Bamboo Massage kit from Bamboocolic. This kit includes:
- 1 stick (diameter 4.5 cm, length 70cm)
- 1stick (diameter 2.5, 3cm length 60cm)
- 2 half sticks obtained by horizontally splitting the rod (25cm long)
- 2 swab sticks (30cm long)
- 2 dumbbell sticks (diameter 4cm length 25cm)
- 3 facial sticks (diameters between 1cm and 1.5cm, length 27cm the first, 37cm the second and third)
The creator of Bamboocolic is Domenico Pastore. He grew up in the Italian countryside where bamboo grows spontaneously, the passion for this innovative product lead Domenico to want to make the most of the innate and multiple properties of a material so little known in Italy.
He says: “Typical of South-East Asia, where it has always been used in the Ayurvedic field, bamboo has earned the reputation of “vegetable steel.”
It enjoys a high remineralising and strengthening capacity for the bone system and has all the potential to become a real raw material, like hemp.
Some of the benefits of bamboo massage include helping with:
Tension: The bamboo can help relax muscles and relieve tension.
Circulation: The massage can improve circulation.
Flexibility: The massage can help increase joint and muscle flexibility.
Cellulite: The bamboo massage can help reduce cellulite.
Oxygenation: The bamboo massage can improve body oxygenation.
Pain: The bamboo can help relieve muscle aches and joint pain.
The rolling movements of the bamboo sticks combined with a light pressure really did help alleviate stress in my muscles, I definitely felt more relaxed and refreshed after using the bamboo sticks. At the moment we are waiting to receive the bamboo warmer so we can’t wait to see the full results once the bamboo sticks are heated with the warmer.
