Flu Fighters

With flu season in full swing during the winter months, it’s important more than ever to boost your immune system. A weakened immune system is one main cause for illness. Any ideas for a solution!? Well a massage of course. Kick up your feet and relax.

Along with other healthy choices in your life, regular massages are a key factor to help protect you from the flu and other illnesses. Regular massage helps to increase the immune system’s cytotoxic capacity, the activity level of the body’s “natural killer” cells which improves the body’s immune functioning.

Along with a healthy immune system activity, massage also helps promote better circulation and drainage from your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps to eliminate waste and toxins from the body. This is extremely helpful when your body is ill and already trying to remove toxins.

Stress. We all have it. Stress has a tendency to create a weakened state in our immune system. Creating a relaxed environment through massage can help to reduce stress, allowing your body to repair itself and ward off infections. get lots of rest, treat yourself to a massage and eat well. These factors alone will provide a great motivation for your immune system to rock it!
