The Benefits Of The Breast Massage. One part
of the body that can benefit greatly from the
treatment of massage therapy but is not often
spoken of is the breast.
Considered largely a taboo subject in
modern-day society, the truth is that breast
massages can be very helpful to your health. In
this article, well give you a basic idea of the
benefits of breast massage, as well as offering
some tips on how you can perform a breast
massage on yourself.
Basically speaking, any type of massage of
the breasts will be helpful. The breasts
contain many lymph nodes which help to
eliminate toxins and waste from the body, and
as such, massage can be immensely helpful in
keeping the lymphatic system clean and
clear.
Luckily, you can successfully perform a
breast massage to yourself, and it is a quick
and easy process that you may want to consider
undergoing on a day-to-day basis in order to
benefit your health. The first step to
performing a good breast massage involves
light, smooth motions around the nipple.
You should use the tips of your fingers to
gently smooth in directions away from the
nipple, being sure to apply only a little bit
of pressure if you push too hard, you will end
up squishing down the lymphatic vessel which
can make it very difficult for the lymphatic
system to drain.
Make your motions slow and soft. The next
step in a good breast massage involves
basically kneading the breast. Be sure to knead
the tissue gently, ensuring that you both lift
and press the tissue in order to get the full
benefits.
The third step is one of the most important
steps in helping the lymphatic system to drain
successfully. In order to perform the third
step properly, you should grab your breast from
both sides and give it light and gentle twists,
both clockwise and
counter-clockwise.
Dont put too much pressure on the breast during
this step; a gentle twisting motion is key to
its success. The fourth and final step in a
proper breast massage involves compressing the
breast.
Use both hands to press down on the breast,
slowly gliding across the skin. Repeat this
step several times in order for the lymph
drainage to occur as successfully as
possible.
Now that you have a basic idea of how
to perform a proper breast massage, you
should strongly consider the massage as a
part of your daily regimen in order to
ensure that you will be in proper health.
Theres no down-side to the breast massage,
and you may find that it helps you to feel
more calm and relaxed.
