Massage and High Blood Pressure

"One of the most common causes of arrhythmia is high blood pressure, so keep yours under 120/80 millimeters of mercury. A massage may provide pleasurable stress relief. In a recent University of South Florida study, people who underwent three 10-minute massages a week experienced an 18-point drop in their systolic blood pressure and a 5-point drop in their diastolic blood pressure after just 10 sessions."

Here is an excellent example of why massage is an important part of our health and wellness routine not just for occasional pampering.

In Health,

I think we all want justice and equality. We all want a chance for a life with meaning. All of us would like to believe that if we were in a bad situaition someone would help us out.
