Methods and Benefits of Massage
August 28th, 2008 by Mary | No Comments | Filed in RelaxMassage is not only great for relaxation. It is a deep healing. For home-massaging try: Chronic Fatigue Massage Blend with essential oils of Frankincense Lavender, Petitgrain, Almonds, Grapeseeds and Jojoba. Use it straight from bottle for energizing & invigorating massage or rub on after bath or shower to moisturize skin or add cupful to warm bath to uplift and energize spirit.
For your travels get yourself a Massaging Pillow. Lean back and enjoy the therapeutic powers of the Sirius Dual Function Massage Pillow. It is a convenient and portable self-massage tool. Use it for your feet or as a soothing neck massage. It can be used for your lower or upper back, legs or any part of the body.
If you decide to go to get some professional massage. Try hot stone massage. It involves the application of water-heated basalt stones. They create sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, increases the blood flow to the area being worked on. This aids mental relaxation. Mental relaxation is key when a therapist is attempting to work into deeper muscles of the body. Hot stone massage allows manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.
Main benefits of hot stone massage:
* Promotes deep muscle and tissue relaxation
* Alleviates stress
* Releases toxins
* Relieves pain
* Improves circulation
* Calms the psyche
Stay healthy,
