it is a thermal massaging technique.. the thermal massage acts as a very good pain killer for chronic pains but doesn't cure the cause of pain... the massaging increases the blood supply to skin and also the adjoining joints and makes u feel better... it is a refreshing experience and nothing more than that..

The following are the alternative medicine methods used in CERAGEM:


Chiropractic is one of the advanced alternative medicine methods widely practiced in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Chiropractic means practice done by hand to relieve compressed nerves by correcting the spinal alignment. A correctly aligned spine stimulates the system and allow the body to return to its natural rhythms.


Massage relaxes muscles and tendons around the spine, relieving pressure on the spinal cord, unblocking nerves, and adjusting the spine. Massaging also stretches the spine to release pressure from the gel-like discs that act as cushions between each vertebrae, which are the bones that comprise the spinal column.

As we age, our backs stiffen, and for some of us, our backs will become weak enough to cause a hunch. Spinal massaging prevents stiffening and weakening of the back, and is the first part of the CERAGEM session.


Moxibustion Moxibustion effect is derived from the principles of Eastern medicine. Moxibustion uses heat derived from a specific material to aid in healing and relaxation.


Jade is a semiprecious stone which has been used in Eastern medicine to stimulate qi, the life force in our bodies. The projectors in the Ceragem are covered by jade, which is also valued for its ability to hold and transmit heat.
