Flu can make a person very uncomfortable. The headaches, nasal congestion and sneezing is indeed very difficult to deal with. Most people would resort to getting a flu shot to prevent the disease. Since I recommend trying to avoid taking drugs and vaccines, there is another alternative that may be effective in preventing flu.
According to Peg Schoettlin, LMT, with the Seton Cove, an interfaith spirituality center, massage helps prevent flu by improving the blood flow inside the body which in turn reduces stress and boosts immune system.
Massage helps by limiting the amount of adrenaline and cortisol inside our body. To further reduce stress, deep breathing and relaxation associated with massage is effective in reducing anxiety, blood pressure and heart rate.Cranial-sacral massage on the other hand reduces the pain associated with sinusitis by helping in draining the sinus cavities.
The effectiveness of massage varies in each person. It also depends on the frequency of massage. According to Schoettlin, "Each client is different and what each person needs to support their health also differs. Requirements are different for different people and sometimes depend on other factors. But if I were going to guess, I'd say probably once a month is about the right timing."
