Massage can help reset overstimulated neurotransmitters in both children and adults, with even just 30 minutes of massage providing a month’s worth of relief. With approximately 5 million touch receptors in our skin, massages can release endorphins, natural painkillers that help us relax and boost our immune system. A 45-minute massage can also increase the number of white blood cells that defend our body from diseases. Furthermore, massages have the same effects on our body as 7-8 hours of good sleep, making it an excellent antidote to stress and health ailments.
