Massage is one of the oldest methods of healthcare in the world, originating in ancient Egypt, China, and India. It involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body through techniques like rubbing, pinching, and applying pressure. Massage can help treat many diseases and health conditions by improving circulation, relaxing muscles, and balancing the flow of energy in the body. It remains a popular treatment today that provides benefits without many changes to the traditional hand techniques.

Acupuncture is a family of procedures involving the stimulation of specific points on the body using a variety of techniques.
The acupuncture technique that has been most often studied scientifically involves penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metal needles that are manipulated by the hands or by electrical stimulation.
Acupuncture involves the stimulation of anatomical points on the body with thin needled.
Acupuncture patients usually feel little to no pain.
Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and are manipulated either by hand or electricity.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is a form of CTM in which cups are placed on the skin to create suction.
The cups can be made of a variety of materials, including:
Glass
Bamboo
Earthenware
The suction of the cups mobilizes blood flow to promote the healing of a broad range of medical ailments
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing.
The purpose is to strengthen the blood and improve Qi flow.
Direct and indirect methods.
Traditionally used to treat colds.
But it is not for everyone.
Because it is used specifically for patients suffering from cold or stagnant constitutions, it should not be used on anyone diagnosed with too much heat.
Tui Na
Also known as Chinese massage
Uses wave-like motions to loosen joints and nourish muscles.
Brings awareness back to a person’s body, making it a first step in the healing process.
Stimulates the flow of Qi, blood and body fluids
Can be used to treat pain, stress or digestion problems.

Acupressure is an ancient healing art of traditional Chinese medicine that uses finger pressure on key points (called acupoints) on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. It’s considered a form of massage therapy or bodywork. In acupressure, local symptoms are considered an expression of the condition of the body as a whole (mind, body, and spirit). Acupressure sessions focus not only on relieving discomfort, but also on reducing tensions and toxicities in the body before they develop into an illness

The principles of Reflexology are not new, as records of reflex healing in Ancient Egypt can be found in the physician tombs. The Ancient Egyptians recorded in hieroglyphs and pictorial images of healers manipulating the feet and the hands of their patients. There are many records in the ancient world of the healing benefits of working with the feet.
Alternative medicine is any practice that aims to achieve the healing effects of medicine, but which lacks biological plausibility and is untested, untestable or proven ineffective. Complementary medicine (CM), complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), integrated medicine or integrative medicine (IM), and holistic medicine are among many rebrandings of the same phenomenon. Alternative therapies share in common that they reside outside medical science, and rely on pseudoscience. Traditional practices become "alternative" when used outside their original settings without proper scientific explanation and evidence. Frequently used derogatory terms for the alternative are new-age or pseudo, with little distinction from quackery.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

2. Normally massage is for everyone of all ages. It
can help to cure these diseases such as cancer,
heart disease, stroke...and some disease that
has no cure method. Massage may be the oldest
method of health care in the world, and is based
on body condition, health status of each patient.
Massage is a combination of human and
operational rules of the universe based on 3
factors: air, fire and soil.
http://www.massage-tables-for-
http://www.massage-tables-for-sale.org
3. Because different people have quite
different body composition, so before
treating the therapist investigated on the
three factors in the patient to apply the
appropriate type of massage in order to
bring the best performance. Now people
can easily apply this method in house with
the help of some devices like massage
tables, massage table ironman.

4. On the tomb of ancient Egyptian there are always
paintings with a person is massaging, this
proved that in the West countries, massage has
already emerged and developed from ancient
times.
In China, this method appeared exactly in 2700 BC
and was the special favorite of the kings. It is the
breathing exercises, by using legs and hands to
massage full body.

5. In Japan, massage appeared very long ago
and originated from China. This method
was considered the "acupuncture without
needles", it means only used the
movements of the fingers to create
pressure when vortexing position, other
times spreading throughout the body. The
Romans, ancient Greeks used the type of
massage is the key measure to cure the
disease.

6. According to Hippocrates, the most famous
doctor in the East (V century BC)
developed in ancient book: "Massage can"
connect "the segment joints are porous,
and" soft "joints sclerosis". In India,
Ayurverda is the traditional healing
methods of the nation, they used the oil,
flowers to combine with the spices derived
from nature.

7. Tui Na Massage appeared in China 2,000
years ago. These are methods of treating
the local areas pains can bring efficiency
to the whole body, especially those where
muscle strain or arthritis. It is based on the
eight following, basic techniques:
acupressure, fist shaking, roll the skin, rub,
pinch, pull or push. Eight principles is to
eliminate negative air - is the underlying
cause leading to disease in the body.
http://www.massage-tables-for-

8. From ancient times until today, the above
method is very popular treatment, the
massage does not have many changes,
mainly hands and feet removed, punched,
pinched, massage, acupressure massage
on the body.
