Most of us opt for a spa massage to feel good, stay healthy and look good but what if your spa massage required you to face snakes, fire or a gorilla? Will you go for it? Well, these spa therapies are going viral online due to the sheer shock factor and novelty of their methods. These weird spa massages promise relaxation but will surely need you to be a little experimental to try them out. Read on to find out how these interesting spa massages around the world are done and what are their benefits.
Snake Massages
Imagine a huge snake or baby snakes slithering around your face and body as part of your spa massage. It may feel like several hands kneading those stressed, knotted muscles or little fingers brushing against your skin but will you feel relaxed? From a zoo in Cebu city of Philippines to a spa in Israel, there are various places where a python is allowed to slither over your body so that its cold temperature and weight can relax your body. Ummm...I don’t think so!
Knife Spa Massage
There are many spas in Asia that are giving out knife massages to the customers and the videos or images of the same are going viral online. Done using special knives for the therapy, knife massages promise to relax the muscles and the mind. In this, a thin cloth is placed over your face and body after which the knives are rhythmically pressed by the professionals. Do you want to try this? I think I will pass the option!

Fire Spa Massage
Setting fire to your body may sound like a suicidal thing but it is trending right now as fire spa massages are becoming a rage. For this, you just need to lie down and after the massage therapist is done with the usual massage moves, he or she places a towel on your body, pours a flammable liquid over it and then sets fire to it! It is famous over the world and a Chinese fire massage is called Huo Liao. Okay so this may be weird but a bit better on the anxiety factor. On one side you may be thinking about catching fire but the feeling of warmth may be good for your body after all.

Gorilla Spa Massage
Don’t be scared as this has got to be the funniest spa therapy in this list. This takes place at the Bali Heritage Reflexology and Spa which is located in Jakarta, Indonesia. The spa therapist, dressed in a gorilla costume complete with a mask, body suit and gloves to mimic a gorilla’s hands gives you a spa massage. Don’t know about its special benefits on muscles but a Gorilla Massage session is a sure-shot laughter therapy for sure.
Cupping Spa Massage

This may be an ancient relaxation therapy but is trending again now because of the health benefits. Cupping massage is a deep-tissue massage that promises to reduce pain and inflammation by improving blood flow to allow relaxation and well-being. Many celebrities have opted for it but it does leave temporary red marks on the area where cups are placed to create suction. Weird but interesting!
Vampire Facial
Bathing in blood was a beauty therapy in ancient times but recently, it was Kim Kardashian who made the Vampire Facial popular by going for it. A vampire facial consists of the process of microdermabrasion of the skin after which PRP or platelet-rich plasma derived from your blood serum is applied on the skin. This causes your skin to regenerate, providing a youthful glow. Whatta khooni beauty treatment this is! But this is relatively a safer procedure so I may think about it.
