Asian, and especially Japanese, culture is known for its art of nurturing and valuing beauty. What they are especially famous for is the massage – called amna. In addition to their kanji (kanji) script, the Japanese also imported the culture of massage from China more than 1,300 years ago. The Anma massage system was invented by Akashi Khan Iqi in 1320. Kobido massage is the crown of the centuries-old Japanese massage technique.
Ko-bi-do – an ancient way of beauty
The very meaning of the word kobido already tells us two important things, that it is an ancient method, and that it is a method of beautification.
The Japanese term “Kobido” (古美道) consists of three kanji characters:
- 古 (ko) – Means “old” or “ancient”
- 美 (bi) – Means “beautiful” or “beauty”
- 道 (do) – Means “way” or “way”
When these signs are combined, the term “kobido” is formed, which can be translated as “ancient way of beauty” or “ancient way of beauty”.
As for how old the method is, it says enough that the first information about Kobido massage dates back to 1420.
The most important benefit of Kobido massage
The main goal of kobido massage is stimulation and revitalization of the skin and other tissues of the face, improvement of blood and lymph circulation. By doing so, we stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Of course, all Asian components also have an energy aspect, so Kobido massage helps in removing blockages in energy channels. It brings long-term results.
Some of the effects of kobido massage:
- Reduction of tension and stress in the face and neck.
- Improvement of skin tone and elasticity.
- Increasing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the skin.
- Reduction of swelling and dark circles around the eyes.
