Improved blood circulation is a great reason to get a massage on a regular basis. Massage actually helps to move the blood through congested areas of your body. Oxygen rich blood is what facilitates healing and removes harmful lactic acid from the muscles. Massage also improves the circulation of the lymph fluid which carries metabolic waste away from muscles and internal organs.

Proper circulation is key for maintaining optimal health. It ensures that blood and oxygen continuously flow throughout the body, allowing every organ to function properly. It helps to heal wounds faster, it keeps your brain sharp, it keeps your heart healthy, and it even gives your complexion a natural flush. [henryford.com]

Massaging of the neck, shoulders, arms, feet and legs have a more direct effect on improving blood circulation. Poor blood circulation can cause tingling, numbness or cold hands and feet; leg cramps, which may get worse when walking; swelling and blood clots.

It’s important to try to naturally improve your health. Eating healthy food, getting regular exercise, not smoking or drinking too much, keeping your stress level low and getting sufficient sleep. Good blood circulation will greatly help to naturally decrease high blood pressure. And, of course, a regular massage will greatly help.
