Massage

Massage can be as powerful as morphine for those in pain.

According to recent study of 605 people. Those who got a daily 20-munites massage(in addition to medication) after surgery reported less pain a day earlier than those who just got drugs, or who got drugs plus 20 minutes of one-to-one conversation.

Other benefits of massage:

• It fight the blues. A rubdown cuts depression, pain, anxiety, nausea, fatigue and other symptoms in half for cancer.

• It calm kids. In a small study of children with ADHD, those who got 20-minutes massage twice a week for a month behave better in school.

• It soothes as aching head. Chronic tension headache sufferers had fewer episodes after neck and shoulder massage.
