It seems the quest for beauty gets wackier every day, with spas serving up their elite clientele fabulous facials made with bird droppings and pedicures with tiny fish to munch away dead skin. Now, a spa in Israel promises to top all the wacky beauty treatments by offering spa-goers snake massages, according to an article in TIME.
In the tranquil orange groves of Northern Israel, is Ada Barak’s Carniverous Plant Farm. Barak makes a living showing off her assortment of plants that eat animals, everything from insects to schnitzel. She hit upon the idea for the snake massage when she passed around a snake to be held by audience members before it met its demise by plant.
Barak tells TIME, "Some people said that holding the snakes made them feel better, relaxed. One old lady said it was soothing, like a cold compress."
After some experimentation, she found the perfect assortment of snakes for the ultimate soothing experience: big snakes, king and corn for a deep massage along with little ones that produce a “fluttering sensation.” Like the size of the snakes, reactions to the massage are at both ends of the spectrum, “People either like it a lot or they hate it," says Barak.
For $80, the six snakes are placed on customers to wriggle and ease migraine pain and sooth muscle soreness, according to some fans.
Although more traditional spas can be found in the same area, there is only one snake massage available thus far.
