A new type of beauty treatment has been introduced in an Israeli health and beauty spa. Guess what it is? Snake massage.

For about $70, clients at Ada Barak’s spa can add a twist to their treatment by having six non venomous and completely harmless serpents slither and hiss across their aching muscles and stiff joints.

“I’m actually afraid of snakes, but the therapeutic effects are really good,” customer Liz Cohen told Reuters Television as Barak let the snakes loose on her body.

The spa uses California and Florida king snakes, corn snakes and milk snakes in her unusual treatments. She was inspired by the idea that once people get over their initial misgivings and fears and find that physical contact with the creatures is soothing.
