A simple spoon and a splash of oil have become the unlikely stars of a viral wellness trend, thanks to acupuncturist and content creator Jude Massey, known online as @judetheacupuncturist.

His Instagram video demonstrating a traditional Chinese technique for relieving neck tension has now surpassed 43 million views, with followers praising its simplicity and effectiveness.

Jude told Newsflare: "As an acupuncturist, I love showing self-care rituals that people can follow along at home. In this video, I show my followers that you can just grab a clean spoon, some oil to lubricate your neck, and gently start lightly scraping over the inflamed or painful muscle until it gets a natural redness. Millions of people have been able to see how powerful this simple but effective ancient technique is."

It’s always important to not perform this if one is pregnant or taking blood thinners. This does not constitute medical advice is education educational content only.
