Massage to melt your cares away
Updated on 31 July 2007
Most of us enjoy eating it and now therapists in Israel are offering chocolate lovers the chance to have a massage in it.
Located in the rolling green hills of the disputed occupied Golan Heights, the spa serves as a gateway for chocoholics. Patients lie back and have chocolate dripped all over them.
Therapist Veronica Assaulenko said chocolate is nutritious and healthy for the face and skin and provides the body with essential mineral and vitamins to absorb toxins and even cellulite.
Ms Assaulenko also claims chocolate's rich texture is known for its ability to arouse the senses. She said: "The scent of chocolate produces a hormone, a hormone of love inside our body and people are vary satisfied after (the massage),"
Spa guest Ola Ma'ayan said: "It just smells like heaven, it tastes like heaven... It's wonderful, it makes me feel like I'm swimming in a chocolate river."
Ms Assaulenko says their therapists use only genuine dark chocolate without artificial ingredients or preservatives.
