Facial Wood Therapy

Wood therapy is a vigorous massage technique that utilizes wooden, handheld tools, such as rolling pins and vacuum-suction cups. Purportedly, wood therapy is centuries old and originated in Asia.

The technique of wood therapy has seen a surge in popularity, primarily in South America, where people call it Madero-therapy. Madera is Spanish for wood.

Practitioners of this technique claim that it can reduce or eliminate cellulite.

Other purported claims include:

• increasing lymphatic circulation
• reducing wrinkles
• alleviating stress
• providing a whole mixed bag of other benefits

Researchers have not studied or proven any of these claims about the benefits of wood therapy.
