Feeling stressed? A bunch of writhing, slithering pythons might actually make you feel better. A spa in Jakarta, ‘Bali Heritage Reflexology and Spa’, now offers exclusive snake massages for its patrons.
The unique treatment involves pythons being placed on the patron’s bare back. Patrons who feel terrified will reap the best benefits from the massage, as the fear is said to release adrenaline, which has a positive effect on metabolism.
Spa owner, Mr Paulus Abraham, said that the slithering movement is something that a therapist just cannot provide. For safety reasons, the pythons are fed thirty minutes before being used during treatment.
Up for the challenge? Each massage is priced at about USD$47, about three times the price of a regular Balinese massage.
