A Scrub Above the Rest: The Luxurious Experience of Table Shower Asian Massage in Miami

Table shower massage, also known as body scrub massage, is a type of Asian massage that involves the use of a table with a built-in shower system. During the massage, the client lies on the table while the therapist uses warm water to cleanse and exfoliate the skin, followed by a massage with oils or lotions. The combination of the warm water and gentle exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

One of the main benefits of table shower asian massage is that it can help to improve the appearance and health of the skin. The warm water and gentle exfoliation can help to unclog pores, remove impurities, and stimulate blood flow to the skin, which can help to improve the overall tone and texture of the skin. Additionally, the use of oils or lotions during the massage can help to nourish and hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.

Another benefit of table shower massage is that it can help to relieve stress and tension in the muscles and joints. The massage therapist will use a combination of techniques such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and acupressure to target specific areas of tension and pain. Warm water and gentle massage can also help to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.

Table shower massage is often performed with the use of special oils or lotions that are infused with herbs and botanicals. These oils can help to provide an additional layer of therapeutic benefits, such as improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and even aromatherapy benefits.

When looking for a table shower massage, it's important to look for a massage clinic or spa that offers this type of massage and make sure the therapist is licensed and trained in this type of massage. Additionally, it's important to let the therapist know about any health conditions you have, as well as any medications you're taking, so that they can tailor the massage to your needs.

In conclusion, table shower massage is a unique and luxurious form of Asian massage that can provide a wide range of physical and mental health benefits. It's a great way to improve the appearance and health of the skin, relieve stress and tension in the muscles and joints, and improve overall relaxation and well-being. With many options available in Florida, it's easy to find a massage therapist who can help you experience the benefits of this invigorating and rejuvenating massage technique.

Slainte!

This clover illustration is from a 1528 book on the distillation of the waters of herbs for medicinal purposes. The word slainte means "health" in Irish and is a salute said before consuming a drink with another person to wish good health to that person or persons. This book lists trifolium or clover as having medicinal properties which are being studied to this day. I'm not saying drink your clover this St. Patrick's Day, but I do like the connection.

The vertuose boke of distyllacyon of the waters of all maner of herbes, 1528. By Hieronymus Brunschwig.

Romans Stored Henbane Seeds in Vial Made From an Animal Bone

“Archaeologists in the Netherlands have discovered a Roman settler’s stash of poisonous seeds, sealed in a hollowed-out animal bone 2,000 years ago.

The discovery is the first evidence that Romans in the Netherlands collected and stored seeds from the black henbane plant, a highly toxic member of the nightshade family. While the plant has long been notorious for its poisonous effects, it also has a reputation as a medicinal aid.”

It is said that when the devil’s left foot touched soil outside the Garden of Eden, garlic sprung up and his right foot produced onions. This caused it to be first associated with the Devil himself but the Greeks considered it a protector herb later on. Greek midwives would make sure that at the birth of a child, the whole room smelled of the cloves to protect the newborns from Lilith, the mother of all demons. If the cloves were not placed around the neck of the babies, it was believed that Lilith would strange the babies and frighten the mothers into madness. It was also a great remedy herb as every part of it was used in over 125 different treatments.

Christmas Botanicals Series: Black Hellebore

Next up in the christmas botanicals series is the christmas rose, also known as black hellebore. Hellebore is a flowering perennial with evergreen leaves in the famously poisonous Ranunculaceae family which also contains aconites (wolfsbane), delphiniums, meadow rues, clematis species, and ranunculus (ranging from wild buttercups to ornamental flowers).

Hellebore contains saponins, cardiac glycosides, and other toxins. While ingestion of hellebore may not be deadly to humans, it is incredibly unpleasant. Symptoms include contact dermatitis, burning skin, burning of the mouth and throat, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, confusion, and irregular heartbeat.

Hellebore was one of the first documented chemical weapons used in warfare. The Greeks used the potently poisonous leaves to taint the entire water supply of the sacred city of Kirrha in 585 BCE to end a 10-year siege. It did not kill the residents but incapacitated them with vomiting and diarrhea while the Greek army invaded and slaughtered the entire population by the sword.

Hellebore has been venerated as a powerful plant by multiple ancient civilizations and was included in medical texts by the likes of Hippocrates and Theophrastus.

Black hellebore eventually became associated with christmas due to its evergreen leaves and naturally blooming in winter near the older date of christmas from the Julian calendar. Like mistletoe, the association is likely older than christianity and it was also brought in the home during the dark of winter to protect from evil spirits, ghosts, witches, and illness, but unlike mistletoe hanging in the roof rafters, hellebore was supposedly strewn on the ground with the rushes. Like hanging mistletoe, people in the British Isles and Europe continued the protective practice after converting to the new religion. Today the practice has changed to decorating with hellebore flowers for christmas.
