A unique massage treatment in Indonesia will either entice you or make your skin crawl. The Bali Heritage Reflexology and Spa in Jakarta, Indonesia offers a massage where the therapist will place several pythons on your body. It is believed that the weight and movement of the snakes and the adrenaline rush from the fear have positive effects on the customer.
This ironic massage is said to be of best benefit to customers who are the most afraid. The adrenaline rush improves your metabolism and at the great price of $47 it's a small price to pay for improving your long-term health.
The images, provided by Getty Images, show that different sizes and lengths of snakes are placed on the customer's back and they slowly crawl their way up your legs and back.
If you don't think fear will relax you, the relief you get once the unique massage treatment is over surely will.
