Massage From Around the World: Chinese Fire Massage

Although the specifics may vary, Chinese fire massage generally involves placing a cloth soaked in alcohol and a special elixir over the face, back, legs, belly or other problem area. The cloth is ignited and allowed to burn for up to a minute before the therapist smothers the flames with a wet towel. The wet towel may then be used to massage the heated area. It is said to: Eliminate wrinkles, Relieve joint pain, Ease insomnia, Aid digestion, Curb obesity, and Cure a cold.
