DID YOU KNOW THE BODY HAS 60,000 MILES OF BLOOD VESSELS????? Yes! That’s enough to wrap the earth twice!!! How amazing!!! IT IS TIME FOR MASSAGE THERAPY!!!!

💆‍♀️ How Massage Supports the Circulatory System

1. Improves Blood Flow and Oxygen Delivery
Massage increases blood circulation by mechanically stimulating blood vessels and soft tissues. The pressure from kneading, gliding, and compression helps push blood through congested areas, enhancing flow and oxygen delivery to muscles and organs. This can temporarily raise local skin temperature and promote a healthy pink glow as capillaries dilate.

2. Enhances Venous Return
Massage helps blood travel back toward the heart, especially from the extremities. Techniques like effleurage (long, gliding strokes) assist the venous and lymphatic return, reducing pooling in the limbs and helping prevent fatigue and swelling.

3. Supports the Lymphatic and Detox Systems
Gentle massage encourages lymph drainage, which carries away waste products and excess fluid. This can reduce inflammation, support immune function, and promote overall body balance.

4. Encourages Healthy Blood Pressure and Vessel Function
Studies show that regular massage may reduce blood pressure and heart rate by lowering stress hormones and improving vessel elasticity. As vessels dilate and blood flow improves, it supports better heart function and nutrient delivery.

5. Speeds Healing and Recovery
Improved circulation means faster delivery of nutrients and removal of metabolic waste. This supports muscle recovery, tissue repair, and even the healing of minor injuries.

🌿 The Healing Power of Essential Oils 🌿

At The Massage Cottage, we love using nature’s gifts to support your mind and body. Essential oils are more than just beautiful aromas — they carry unique properties that can help calm, restore, and rejuvenate you from the inside out. Here is a few 💯 we love to incorporate in with our massage therapy sessions.

💧 Frankincense – Known for centuries as a “sacred oil,” frankincense contains boswellic acids (the active compound often called “Bushwalla”) that help reduce inflammation and promote relaxation. It’s wonderful for easing stress, balancing emotions, and encouraging deep breathing — perfect during a therapeutic massage.

🌼 Lavender – Famous for its soothing scent, lavender can calm nerves, relax tense muscles, and even help improve sleep quality. It’s a classic go-to for both relaxation and recovery.

🍋 Lemon or Sweet Orange – These bright citrus oils uplift the mood, support immune health, and bring a refreshing, clean energy to the room.

🌿 Peppermint – Cooling and invigorating, peppermint can ease headaches, boost circulation, and relieve sore muscles — great before or after physical activity.

✨ Whether used in aromatherapy or blended into massage oils, essential oils can enhance healing, restore balance, and create a deeper sense of well-being — naturally.
