Next time you're on vacation, treat yourself to a snake massage

Of all the bizarre beauty and health trends we've seen, draping yourself in live snakes is one of the stranger ones. But in Jakarta, Indonesia, the Bali Heritage Reflexology and Spa offers a unique massage that involves having pythons draped on your bare back. Our problem is with their rationale: They claim that the movement of the snakes and the adrenaline released by your terrified body reduces stress and has a positive impact on your metabolism. Of course, adrenaline elevates your heart rate and blood pressure, and "panic" isn't really a feeling we associate with reducing stress, but to each their own.
