Surprising Benefits of a Full Body Massage

A full body massage followed by proper moisturization can have several health benefits. It can help you relieve stress, improve blood circulation, stimulate your nervous system, soothe your muscles, organs, and glands, and help the cells produce and release chemicals and hormones. 

Let us know some of the benefits of a full body massage in detail.

• Refreshes skin - A body massage with the best essential oils for massage can soothe the skin leaving it feeling fresh and glowing.
  

• Relaxes the nervous system - A body massage can help you to relieve pressure on nerves caused by tight muscles, thus releasing tension and pain from your body. A relaxed nervous system will decrease the release of stress hormones (corticosteroids) and an abundance of feel-good hormones (endorphins). It also helps you to sleep better and decrease blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
  

• Musculoskeletal benefits - A good massage can help you pump fresh nutrition and oxygen to the different organs. It also helps release tension from your muscles, joints, and tendons.
  

• Improved bone blood supply - Blood flow brings calcium and other minerals to your bones which strengthens and improves their functioning.
