The honey massage is primarily used to purify and detoxify the body and to stimulate the meridians and reflex zones. Through a targeted plucking technique, the ingredients of the honey can be absorbed by the body directly through the skin and penetrate deep into the connective tissue to dissolve deposited waste products and toxins and support the body in self-healing various ailments.

The plucking of the honey on the skin during this massage not only brings a sense of well-being, but can also be painfully challenging. Participants can therefore choose whether they want a gentle or sadomasochistic massage – the healing effect on the body comes naturally. I will show you how to perform this massage with mindfulness.

Back massage – The massage on the back takes about 20-30 minutes, the honey is removed from the skin. At the end, these are best rubbed off with a warm, wet towel.

Facial massage – The honey massage can also be practised on your own face. Simply apply the honey, leave it on for 10 minutes and then dab rhythmically with your fingertips. Keep your mouth stretched like a fish’s mouth. Continue until the skin reddens and you have had enough. Finally, remove the honey and slag with a warm, wet flannel.

Apply cream or oil after the massage and do not shower for 24 hours. Drink plenty of fluids.

It is far too painful to receive a honey massage on hairy skin. A shave is worthwhile! Very short hair or stubble would be possible

Crystallised honey can be heated to a maximum of 40 degrees so that it becomes more liquid. Honey from non-EU countries is not recommended as 80% of honeys contain sugar syrup. (Proven by genetic test by the German Professional and Commercial Beekeepers’ Association in 2024. The accepted proof still has to overcome a few official hurdles)

I only practise honey massage privately and give workshops to pass it on to people. For example at the Milk’n Honey Festival 28.5.-1.6.2025 in Poland. The whole program is in English, sometimes in Polish.
