People are facing different stressors everyday – either in the work place, school, or at home. Every people has ways on how to react with these stressors depending on their experiences. And not all stressors are bad. In fact, they can be beneficial at some point because it will make you alert in dealing with challenges.

There are neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin that send messages to the nerve cells of the brain and regulate a person's mood. But when these chemicals run slow, the person will feel stressed, anxious and depressed.

Also, anxiety will occur when a person withdraws from caffeine or alcohol. Pressure in their personal environment is another factor. For instance, a person who have experienced death of a loved one and death of a pet or had faced a stressful event from the past may experience panic attack. This anxiety will get worse during the period of stress and will cause a person isolate himself from people.

A person may make a big deal about an event (not-so-threatening-situation) such as too much worrying. This may cause palpitation, trembling, sweating, nausea, lightheartedness, fear of dying, going crazy, etc. A person can hardly find time to sleep at night and feeling restless.

On the other hand, a hot stone massage is a good remedy for anxiety. How will a hot stone massage ease and reduce stress and anxiety? The nerves carry signals from one cell to another cell or from one part of the body to the other parts. Poor distribution of signals that is carried by hormones is due to poor circulation. A hot stone massage is good for circulation and the blood flows freely around the body that creates physical wellness to the person.

The nervous system has two automatic parts namely the parasympathetic and sympathetic portion. When a person is overwhelmed by the problems, sympathetic portion is switched on. And a human tendency is to “fight or flight”. In other words, a person may face or runaway with the problem.

An experience of the hot stone massage allows your body to relax, and the parasympathetic portion is switched on. These two portions of the brain are complementary in nature. The sympathetic division serves as the accelerator and the parasympathetic division serves as decelerator of the human body. The parasympathetic portion can actually balance the sympathetic portion.

Relaxation massage is a smooth, gentle style of massage designed to improve circulation. It relieves minor muscle pain, and promote overall relaxation. Massage therapy can result in mental benefits as well as physical ones in many people.
