Daily life comes with numerous stressful situations that can put you in a bad mood. Getting a massage can make your stressful situations a little easier to handle and turn your bad mood around.
A study showed that a Swedish massage increased serotonin by 28 percent and dopamine by 31 percent. Both these hormones are known as the “feel good” hormones. Massage also decreased cortisol, a stress hormone, by 31 percent.
Massage can change the biochemistry of your body, which therefore decreases your stress reactions. If you don’t have time for a vacation, consider getting a massage instead.
