It is an ancient Oleation Therapy, traditionally administered by two masseurs. The masseurs work in tandem, synchronising their strokes and massage according the circulatory and marma (vital) points for a duration of sixty minutes. Detoxifying sesame oils are chosen according to one's needs and illness.
