If being poked by hundreds of needles or massaged by snakes are too tame for you, here's the next hot thing (literally!) in extraordinary medical spa treatment: fire therapy.
And as the name clearly suggests, the treatment involves setting yourself on fire. The fire therapy involves smearing liquid made from some 20 different Chinese herbs on the patient's body. After covering the back with a plastic wrap, two wet towels are placed on top. Then, alcohol is poured on top of the towels and an attendant set the whole thing on fire!
Fire therapy, treat chronic illnesses by setting patients on fire to maintain a balance of “hot” and “cold” elements within the body.
