IT'S REAL PAINKILLER

In scientific studies, when neuroscientists put the brain activity of people undergoing different touch-treatments into comparison, bare hand massaging your body activates the specific part of the brain which is reactive with opioid painkillers such as codeine.


That said, you don't really need to take a painkiller, instead, ask your massage therapist to press on your acupressure point, or any reflex point in your body, at least 5 seconds with sustain medium pressure, that is giving your body a release on its knots on the muscle, thus a more relaxed body!


IMMUNITY SYSTEM BOOSTER

Believe it or not, massage not only improves blood circulation, it also changes the recipient's blood composition. For example, after a 1-hour Thai Massage treatment, he or she will have a higher level of blood protein which is a very important factor in body defence toward tumor, virus and pathogens.
