If you want a massage but can't afford the time or money right now, you can still reap some of the benefits by practising some of the techniques on yourself. Self-massage is an excellent way to unwind and relieve tension in your body and mind. Self-massage, on the other hand, has the opposite effect and can be a great way to re-energize before work or during lunch. If you've never tried self-massage before, here are some basic techniques you can use right away.
Honey massage is an ancient Tibetan therapeutic massage that is beneficial for cleansing the entire body, stimulating and opening the energetic channels. Honey gets rid of harmful energy from the body, improves blood flow in the tissues and muscles under the skin, and keeps the temperature of the skin stable.
Honey massage stimulates the lymphatic system and influences the spine's flexibility and the entire central nervous system. Honey massages clean the pores of the skin and are also good for treating colds and sore joints.
Stone therapy is a type of thermotherapy that uses stones to generate both heat and cold; the use of contrasting temperatures can be very beneficial. Key acupressure points are massaged with heated volcanic stones; the heat relaxes the muscles, enabling a deeper massage. Blood can be drawn from a swollen area, inflammation can be treated with cold stones, and the male and female energies in the body can be balanced again to bring about harmony in the body. Additionally, cold stones can be used to aid in detoxification.
Cream and oil are applied with the hands, a wooden stick, and the fingers during a reflexology foot massage. According to Chinese medicine, the sensory nerves of the inner organs that circulate throughout the entire body are primarily located in the soles of the feet. Thus, reflexology foot massage is highly effective at stimulating the inner organs' functionality. There is no risk associated with this method of treatment. Usually, massage therapists focus on the most important points on the feet. The pain will vanish once the massage is completed.
