Indulge in Self Massage
There are times when we feel stressed out and lethargic and feel the need for some sort of stimulation for the body. The first thing that comes to our mind is to have therapeutic massage, but feel too lazy to go out. We found this interesting Massage session which you could try doing it at home and feel invigorated. Doing this regularly will help in detoxifying the body and improves circulation and keeps your body skin supple. Just try these few steps and feel the difference.
1.Take any oil, coconut, sesame or olive. Add some camphor to it and lightly heat the oil
2. Pour a tablespoon of the warm oil onto your scalp and vigorously work in the oil.
3. Using your fingertips, vigorously massage your head and scalp with small circular strokes
4. Wipe your hands and take some more oil and gently massage your face and ears.
5. Rub and massage both the front and back of the neck.
6. Vigorously massage your arms, using a circular motion at the shoulders and elbows, and back-and-forth motions on the upper arms and forearms.
7. When massaging your chest and stomach, use a gentle circular motion and a straight up-and-down motion over the breastbone.
8. After applying a bit of oil to both hands, gently reach around to the back and spine and massage them as well as much as you can reach.
9. Vigorously massage your legs as you did your arms, using circular motions at the ankles and knees, back-and-forth motions on the long parts.
10. After massaging your legs, spend extra time on your feet. Don’t forget the soles of the feet.
This can be done sitting on a chair or on the floor with a cloth covering the chair from the oil grease.
11. Once this massage is done , take a Turkey towel and dip in hot water and squeeze out the excess water. Make sure the water is hot enough and wrap yourself with the hot towel. Repeat till you cover the whole body. Take a smaller turkey towel and dip it in hot water and wrap your hair .The same need to be done for the face also.
After this “Turkey” steam you can go for your bath. You can use the herbal bath powders and scrub the oil from your skin or use a loofah and bath gel and scrub your skin.
Enjoy this self indulgence in the comforts of your home and relax!
