Kobido, «The Path of Beauty»
The origin of Kobido (in Japanese, 古 美 道, “ancient path of beauty”) dates back to the 15th century, and has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. According to Kobido’s philosophy, in line with oriental traditions, Beauty arises from the perfect balance between physical, emotional and spiritual health. The ancient and refined techniques of Kobido seek to maintain and restore harmony in these three branches.
The Japanese facelift works deep muscles, release of fascia and drainage of toxins. Kobido is effective so that skin cells can repair and rejuvenate themselves.
In addition, “Facial reflexology” is worked by stimulating 24 acupuncture points that belong to the different internal organs. On the other hand it stimulates neurologically triggering the production of endorphins and serotonin, which will make us feel wonderfully.

After a session of Kobido the person feels rested, relaxed, with a clear mind, as after a deep and restful sleep. Therefore, Kobido is considered a very effective technique to reduce stress.
