Winter’s<\/strong> on its way, and we’re starting to get a bit fed up of having nose drops and falling ill every 2 weeks. Especially as winter progresses, it seems to be getting worse and worse!<\/p>\n\n\n

And it may not just be an impression: with the cold of winter<\/strong>, the immune system <\/strong>tends to be at half-mast.<\/p>\n\n\n

But did you know that there is a very close link between massage and immunity?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

And one way of boosting your immune system<\/strong> is to have a regular massage?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

At Nandara, we know all about wellness massages. Here are the 5 perfect massage techniques <\/strong>to boost your immunity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n

Why does massage influence immunity?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Before we go any further, let’s take a moment to understand why massage <\/strong>can play such an important role in boosting your immune system.<\/strong> What is the link between massage and immunity?<\/p>\n\n\n

Massage acts directly on several levels: it stimulates blood circulation<\/strong>, encourages lymphatic drainage<\/strong> and reduces stress. These elements are crucial to maintaining a strong immune system.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

In the human body, each organ<\/strong> and each system has its own role, but it is by working together that they ensure your health. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Following this logic, massage helps to release tension<\/strong> and boost energy flow<\/strong>, so that your body is in top form. <\/p>\n\n\n

The endorphins<\/strong> released during a massage, for example, don’t just relax you: they also regulate your immune response.<\/p>\n\n\n

For all these reasons, massage is a health benefit<\/a>! But what type of massage should you choose to optimise the link between massage and immunity during winter<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 – Lymphatic massage: a detoxifying and stimulating ally<\/h2>\n\n\n

Let’s start with lymphatic massage<\/strong>, which has a very marked impact on blood and lymph circulation<\/strong>(as its name suggests)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Lymphatic drainage<\/a> is a key technique when it comes to supporting immunity<\/strong>. Lymph, the transparent liquid<\/strong> that circulates throughout your body, plays an essential role in transporting toxins and renewing white blood cells,<\/strong> the warriors of your immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n

Manual lymphatic drainage, using slow, deep<\/strong> and repetitive<\/strong> movements<\/strong>, helps to relieve congestion in the lymph nodes<\/strong> and promote the elimination of waste products.<\/p>\n\n\n

Let’s take a concrete example: if you feel heaviness in your legs <\/strong>or general tiredness<\/strong>, this could be a sign that your lymphatic system <\/strong>needs a boost. <\/p>\n\n\n

A specific massage focused on stimulating the ganglions<\/strong> in the armpits<\/strong>, neck and groin<\/strong> can be a real boost to your immune system.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
