The fast-paced world we live in is constantly demanding us to overwork, put in extra effort, stretch our work hours and whatnot! And the outcome? Stress has become our companion in our daily lives. And while we are battling physical discomforts caused by stress and muscle tension, the mental stress resulting from stress also becomes a part of our daily lives.
While professional massages might work wonders to alleviate these issues, not everyone has the time or resources for regular spa visits. That's where self-massage comes in.
Self-body massage is a quick, simple, easy and effective way to relax and rejuvenate your body. When you use self-massage tools to massage yourself, you feel your best. Let’s dive deep into the discussion:
Essential Tools for Self-Massage
Before we delve into the self-neck massage techniques, let's talk about the vital relief massage tools that everyone must have in their arsenal. When your massage routine includes these tools, the massage process becomes more enjoyable:
1. Jade Stone Face Roller
If your face feels puffy, or you want your beauty products like moisturisers or serums to go deeper into the skin, the cool touch of a jade stone face roller can work wonders. Gently roll the jade stone across your face and neck after a long day at work or home to relax your tightened muscles.
2. Neem Wood Acupressure Back Spin Roller
Running around the home behind the kids or sitting in the same position for long hours in the office, our spines go through a lot throughout the day. Following a few simple massage steps using this back/spin roller can stimulate pressure points on your back, release tension from your spine and help you feel relaxed. Simply roll the neem wood acupressure back spin roller up and down your spine to target the areas of discomfort.
Ease Your Stress With Our Simple Techniques for Self-Massage
Now that you have the right tools at your disposal, let's explore some effective head and neck massages that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and revitalised:
1. Facial Massage
A spa-level face massage at home is a dream of many after a long, tiring day. No need to call a masseur at home, you can do it yourself. Start the massage session with clean hands and a dab of your favourite natural handmade kumkumadi oil or Nalpamaradi Thailam oil. While the oil application all over the face is done, use the jade stone roller to spread the oil more and let your skin shine bright like a diamond. It’s the easiest way to achieve that social-media trendy dewy, glowy skin while also alleviating tension and reducing puffiness of the face.
2. Head Massage
A self-head massage is ideal to get rid of all the headaches, stress and worries when you feel anxious, tired and restless. Choose the hair oil among natural handmade anti-lice herbal hair oil, Bhringraj ayurvedic hair oil, anti-dandruff hair oil, amla hair oil or almond nourishing hair oil for the massage. Follow the simple, regular hair oiling process where you start the massage at the base of your skull and gently massage in circular motions. Gradually work your way up to the crown of your head.
3. Back Massage
As we also accumulate stress all over our back, a soothing back massage session using natural handmade herbal massage oil for pain relief is all we look forward to. It’s the ideal massage oil to use with hand hand-carved natural neem wood acupressure back/spin roller. Adjust the pressure of the roller based on your comfort level and focus on areas that feel tense.
Self-massage is a simple yet powerful way to manage stress and keep yourself healthy. While a relaxing massage feels good while done using only hands, self-massage tools as mentioned here make the massage steps more relaxing and take your self-massage experience to new heights.
