Massage Flu Vaccine

Research shows that in particular, Swedish massage has the power to decrease stress through relaxation and increase your immune system.  

 

As the winter months draw to a close, the impending change of seasons can bring the last blast of the flu. Now is the time to look at steps you can take to rebuild and enhance your immune system. Along with the cadre of practical solutions -increasing fluids, more vitamin C, exercising - we sometimes overlook the most potent form of flu-prevention: reducing stress through massage.

 

So go ahead, relax and fight the flu at the same time. Just what the doctor ordered.
