Massage Can Help Your Body Cleanse

With the arrival of spring flowers and new blades of green grass, many people decide to cleanse their bodies. They eat healthy foods, fast or take herbs that help to clean out toxins deposited from the environment and the body’s daily functions.

Massage is a great way to help the cleansing process. Massage increases circulation of blood and lymph. The increased circulation of blood promotes nutrient exchange at the cellular level which encourages cells to "give up" the garbage or toxins in exchange for nutrients that help them maintain a healthy status. Increased blood circulation also stimulates red blood cells to deliver needed oxygen.

An increase in lymph circulation assists your body in removing toxins from all body systems. Lymph is moved through the body by movement. If you are not moving, lymph is not moving! Massage helps to move the lymph and can help reduce swelling and systemic inflammation.

Stimulating blood and lymph circulation brings toxins to the liver to be processed and disposed of through your digestive tract. Massage can also stimulate digestion by increasing smooth muscle movement along the intestinal tract and colon. This smooth muscle movement is called peristalsis.

Regular massage helps your body remove waste and toxins during cleanses and in between. Massage is an affordable way to help you support the cleansing process and keep your body healthy. I recommend one hour of massage per month. To schedule your massage call Goddess Blessed @ 216 221-8755.
