Massage is a popular and effective way to relax and unwind, but did you know that it can also boost your immunity and help keep you healthy and strong?

Your immune system is your body’s natural defense against illness and infection. When it’s functioning properly, it can help protect you from getting sick and keep you feeling your best. Massage can support and enhance your immune system in several ways.

        • Massage reduces stress. Stress can have a negative impact on your immune system, making you more vulnerable to illness. Massage helps to reduce stress by increasing levels of the hormone oxytocin and decreasing levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This can help improve your overall well-being and boost your immunity.
        • Massage promotes lymphatic flow. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and organs that helps to rid the body of toxins and waste. Massage can help stimulate lymphatic flow, which can help boost your immune system and improve your overall health.
        • Massage increases circulation. Massage can improve blood flow and circulation, which can help transport nutrients and oxygen to cells and tissues throughout your body. This can support your immune system and help keep you healthy.
        • Massage reduces inflammation. Inflammation is a normal immune response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can weaken your immune system and increase your risk of illness. Massage can help reduce inflammation by decreasing levels of certain cytokines, which are proteins involved in inflammation.
        • Massage can improve sleep. Getting enough sleep is important for maintaining a healthy immune system. Massage can help you relax and fall asleep faster, which can improve the quality of your sleep and help boost your immunity.

Incorporating massage into your wellness routine can have numerous benefits for your immune system and overall health. So next time you’re feeling stressed or run down, consider booking a massage to help boost your immunity and keep you feeling your best.
