Long, continuous gliding strokes in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart lull the body into a state of deep relaxation. Utilizing a number of continuous soothing massage techniques, this nurturing full body massage relieves tension, anxiety, and stress. A study conducted by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, published in The New York Times, found that volunteers who received a 45-minute Swedish massage experienced significant decreases in levels of the stress hormone cortisol, as well as arginine vasopressin-a hormone that can lead to increases in cortisol. The study also reported the volunteers experienced an increase in the number of lymphocytes, white blood cells that are part of the immune system.
