Luxury Massages

Decades of research has attributed massages to improving the function of your immune system. In one study from 2010, massage was shown to enhance production of white blood cells which fight against illness and diseases. The same study also looked at how massage affects hormone levels, and it showed a decrease in levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and an increase in oxytocin (the trust hormone) for people who had a massage twice a week.

A relaxing massage can reduce stress, depression and anxiety. This aids in your overall feeling of well being and can even lower blood pressure. Regular massage can also increase levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, which is excellent for people suffering from depression and anxiety.

Even the insomniacs amongst us may find it easier to get a good night’s sleep after a Luxury massage treatment. Some people also fall asleep while they are being massaged! Many studies have addressed this phenomenon and accredit it to massage’s effect on delta waves, which are the brain waves associated with deep sleep.
