There’s no better solution to awaken the body, relieve tension, and anxiety effectively than through full-body relaxation massage. The effects of full-body massage also extend to the nervous system and blood vessels, helping the body feel comfortable and bringing about feelings of happiness and well-being. Let’s explore further and apply some simple relaxation methods.
The Effectiveness of Full-Body Massage in Reducing Stress
During times when you feel tired and stressed due to work and family matters, relax by self-massaging for 10-15 minutes right where you are. Massage helps dissipate fatigue, making you feel comfortable and relaxed. For those who are too busy, take advantage of massaging while showering to relieve fatigue, save time, and benefit your skin.
Improves Blood Circulation and Stabilizes Blood Pressure
Regular massage helps improve blood circulation, making it easier for blood to flow, benefiting the heart, reducing the burden on the heart, dilating blood vessels, and directly promoting rapid circulation.
Regarding blood pressure, clinical practice has shown that enhancing massage on the head and upper half of the body can easily increase blood pressure, while massaging the lower half of the body can lower blood pressure. Massaging the cervical vertebrae 2, 3 can lower blood pressure, and massaging the lumbar vertebrae 6, 7 may increase blood pressure.
Full-Body Massage Helps Firm the Skin and Combat Aging
The body has dozens of acupoints, each with functions, tasks, and connections to different internal organs. However, with increasing age, the functions of these organs gradually degrade, and the immune system diminishes.
Full-body massage directly stimulates sensory organs, triggering beneficial nerve reflexes, increasing cell activity, and reducing wrinkles on the skin, making the skin firmer. Therefore, the advice from traditional Chinese medicine experts is to care for body parts daily rather than waiting until illness strikes, which may be too late.
Each acupoint represents a body organ. By leveraging the advantages of these acupoints, we can effectively massage to combat aging, detoxify, prevent and treat diseases.
Full-Body Massage Helps the Skin Absorb Nutrients from Creams Better
Massaging the skin 10 minutes before starting the skincare routine helps the skin absorb the nutrients from the cream more effectively than usual. During massage, the skin temporarily expands, allowing the subsequent skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, nourishing it from within.
Full-Body Massage Promotes Good Sleep
Spend about 15-20 minutes massaging before bedtime, promoting blood vessel dilation and blood circulation in the body, enhancing metabolic processes, making the body alert, reducing fatigue, leading to better and deeper sleep./.
