Hilot is a traditional Philipino treatment that aims to release the body from blocked nerves and blood vessels, and cold muscles and joints. Hilot, which is said to be derived from the Tagalog language, translates into Japanese as meaning "to touch gently". It has also been proven to be effective in lowering cortisol. Hilot is said to have started to spread around the 5th century, and the techniques, oils, and tools used have not been recorded. Hilot is a mysterious treatment that is considered a gift from God. Hilot is a skill that has been handed down from generation to generation only by special people who inherited the skill. The treatment involves applying oil to the hands, aligning it with the part of the body to be pressed or circularly kneaded, bringing the skin together while applying pressure, and then using the thumb and ten fingers to massage and loosen the skin. While applying pressure, massage the back of the head, neck, base of the neck, shoulder blades, and lower back, working on the three layers of skin, subcutaneous connective tissue, and muscle. Among the many oil treatments, Hilot is characterized by fast and powerful finger movements. A unique method is to use banana leaves, which are said to have antiseptic properties, to check the balance of the body. Before and after the treatment, apply a thin layer of extra virgin coconut oil on a piece of warm banana leaf to the affected area to check the balance of the body. Practitioners can discover and diagnose imbalanced areas simply by applying the leaf to the affected area, and after diagnosis using banana leaves, treatment will be started according to each symptom. Healthy banana leaves are positively charged. The human body is normally positive, but the parts of the body that are not feeling well carry a negative charge. Therefore, the parts that are not in good physical condition stick together due to the attraction of plus and minus. The oil used is virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil is highly permeable, smooth and slippery, blends well with the skin, and is said to have a moisturizing effect and an antioxidant effect that prevents skin aging. Hilot is the go-to choice for luxury spas around the world today. |
