With the Flu and cold season in effect, it is important for both children and adults to protect their immune system the most .
According to the World Health Organization
"Annually, about 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and 290,000 to 650,000 deaths from seasonal flu occur worldwide."
Clinical research suggest that receiving regular massage therapy naturally helps to boost your immune system by helping the lymphatic systems function optimally and increasing blood flow. But honestly who doesn’t need this time to take a mental break from everyday stress?!
When stress is reduced, your cortisol levels decrease which has a beneficial impact on our immune systems.
