"  There&amp;#039;s a new massage trend in China&amp;#039;s Fujian province, and it does not sound relaxing.   It&amp;#039;s called &amp;quot;huo liao,&amp;quot; or fire therapy. Here&amp;#039;s how it works, according to Kotaku: &amp;quot;A rope made from various herbs is placed on the patient&amp;#039;s body and covered with plastic wrap. Then, two wet towels are placed over the wrap and the herbal coil. Alcohol is poured on the towels and then set ablaze.&amp;quot;    It&amp;#039;s not crotch-specific, but the pleasant effects (it creates a feeling of warmth \u2014 go figure) can be applied to your nether-regions as well as your back, shoulders, and other standard massage points. The technique originated in Tibet and eventually became a standard Chinese medicinal practice. It supposedly cures tons of ailments, from digestion issues to headaches.   And there&amp;#039;s a bucket of water nearby if something goes south. Which is also not particularly relaxing or encouraging, but hey.
