Massage and Seasonal Allergies

Massage Therapy for Seasonal Allergy Relief

Did you know?: More than 50 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies.

It's been a long time coming , but I think its safe to say that Spring has finally arrived here in Brewer, Maine! For many people this is exciting news, but for all you allergy sufferers, it's a lovely but dreadful season. So what if I told you that massage therapy has been shown to reduce and help alleviate allergy symptoms? You can relax, unwind, and clear your sinuses and sneezing, without having to deal with the side effects of over the counter antihistamines. An allergy is defined as a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system which may cause headaches, ear aches, sneezing, congestion, cough, joint pain and even depression. Massage can help relieve many allergy symptoms by reducing stress, increasing circulation, releasing muscle tension and reprogramming the body’s panic reaction, which can exacerbate symptoms.

Aromatherapy can also be integrated into a massage, which has been widely effective in clearing the nasal and sinus cavities. Essential oils such as lavender and peppermint have the most effective properties in sinus de-congestion.
