Fire Treatment (Ho-liao)

One of the most exotic sights in medical practice is the fire treatment of Ho-liao − a combination of massage and fire. There is an opinion that Tibetan healers invented this unusual method of treatment several centuries, and possibly thousands of years ago. Over time, Ho-liao became popular throughout China, but fire treatment (Ho-liao) was available only to members of imperial dynasties and rich Chinese nobility, since there were few specialists who knew this technique. Nowadays, this method of treatment is one of the most popular worldwide in the treatment of obesity, osteochondrosis, in case of disruption of the digestive, musculoskeletal and urinary systems. Fire therapy relieves pain, hematomas disappear, and overall well-being improves markedly.

Fire treatment (Ho-liao) for an unprepared patient looks like a somewhat intimidating action. Agree, to decide on a burning towel on the face or other part of the body, at least, seems unsafe. However, this is not the case at all. There is no danger in this. Ho-liao does not cause any painful sensations. The procedure is carried out by a specialist who perfectly knows the method of fire treatment (Ho-liao) and the healing effect of this fiery “show” is enormous. The Ho-liao procedure is a kind of lifesaver for our northern latitudes, where the cold season prevails over the warm season, exacerbating the risk of hypothermia of the body and the occurrence of cold diseases. Oriental medicine believes that prolonged contact with an environment with a low temperature leads to an imbalance of the harmonious circulation of energies along the meridians of the human body. All colds and complications after them are caused by excessive absorption of cold by the body. And fire restores vitality.

And fire, or rather the heat that it gives when setting fire to a towel on the body, is the best means of deep warming, “pushing out” cold from all organs and systems of the human body, which contributes to the elimination of symptoms that accompany inflammatory processes in muscles, ligaments, joints. Before the fire treatment, a light massage with aromatic oils is done to relax and warm the body. During the massage, a trusting relationship is established between the Ho-liao specialist and the patient. The patient is completely calm and ready for Ho-liao. First, the desired area of the body is covered with a towel soaked in a special alcohol-containing composition from a decoction of medicinal herbs and applied as a compress, set on fire. The fire burns for literally 10 seconds. Then the specialist who performs the procedure quickly extinguishes it with a cloth soaked in water. And so it repeats 10-15 times. The number of arson attacks depends on the person’s disease, his age and body area. At the moment when the state of deep warming of the whole organism has been reached, the pores of the skin have opened well, the therapeutic serum “Fire Dragon”, very popular in China and having a good reputation as a miraculous remedy for a thousand ailments, is applied to the impact zone. From above, the area on which the serum is applied is covered with a plastic film so that the essential oils do not evaporate, but penetrate deep through the pores and heal the whole body.

The healing bouquet of herbs of China, which are part of the serum, has a healing and relaxing effect.

It is recommended to close your eyes and lie down for half an hour in complete rest, so that the launched self-healing mechanism continues to work unhindered, and the effect of the procedure is maximized.

Ho-liao − an exotic fire treatment procedure, which in China is considered a very common way to restore health. The climatic zone in which we live does not spoil us with year-round warmth, so we often suffer from colds caused by an overabundance of cold. The Ho-liao technique allows you to “squeeze out” excess cold from the body, freeing it from inflammatory, chronic processes in muscles, joints, ligaments. The fire treatment procedure is absolutely safe, since the fire does not touch the body directly, but a towel soaked in a special alcohol-containing composition is set on fire. The patient’s body receives local deep warming. After several burning of the towel, when the pores of the skin have opened well, the impact zone is lubricated with the therapeutic serum “Fire Dragon” and covered with a plastic wrap so that the healing substances of the serum do not evaporate, but penetrate deep inside, having a beneficial effect on the body.
