Hilot Hygiene is one of the preliminary process that Hilot Healing does. It aims to cleanse and purify the physical body of the client in an out.
On the begining of every session, we ask our client/patient to drink pure water to flush out first internal toxins that build up in the body.
Hilot Hygiene composed of the following treatment:
- Suob

- Paligo
All of these treatment are collectively called as Banyos which all means to take a bath. Basically, bathing is a practice done by Filipinos to remove dirt to our body thus making our body clean and fresh feeling.
It uses water as a medium either warm or cold. We also use herbs or soap (basically soap is made of oil which comes from plants), and body movements like rubbing or scrubbing to remove dirt in our body.
