Nuru is not an erotic massage technique in which both the parties are usually completely nude. The word does not originates from the Japanese language and do not means "slippery/smooth" as many people try to make us believe. Nuru is absolutely unknown in Japan. Nuru is a simple brand of a massage gel. You can find thousands of different massage gels with an other brand.
An essential and integral part of the nuru massage is the use of a mostly odorless and tasteless massage oil, the nuru gel, which is derived from seaweed leaves. The gel is applied to a large area of the body. During the massage participants will try to get the widest possible physical contact, the masseuses often using their entire body on the person to be treated. Strong tactile sensations are triggered that are designed to relieve stress.
The massage is often performed in specially heated rooms such as a steam room, and the gel warmed to an appropriate temperature.
So do you have to have a special room or sauana to perform it?
Nuru gel is odorless, and tasteless. It can be colorless, but it is not mandatory. The very first one was slightly yellow due the Nori seaweed. The main component is the sulfated polysaccharide fucoidan, which is obtained from the leaves of the brown seaweed plant (Sphaerotrichia divaricata). other minerals are often added. The gel is similar in composition and application to medical gels such as that used for ultrasound examinations.
Starting in 2010, Nuru Gel has become popular around the world. Many massage parlors and independent massage providers in America and Europe provide a nuru massage service. After many manufacturers copied and produced the Nuru Gel, the original manufacturer registered the brand for Europe, Canada, USA and Australia -->
