The gift of healing for Valentine’s Day F The gift of massage treats recipients to relaxation and the healing power of therapy and can serve as an escape from the stresses of daily life. In their 21st annual consumer survey, the American Massage Therapy Association says 19 percent of consumers reported receiving a massage from a professional therapist in the previous year. Many people rely on massage for medical relief, including to alleviate muscle soreness, stiffness or spasms. Massage can also aid in the recovery from migraines, help prevent injury and assist in general well-being.
synonymous with massage therapy. Using lotion or oil, therapists will begin with general, broad strokes on the body and then move on to address specific problem areas. The basic strokes involved in Swedish massage include petrissage (kneading, rolling and lifting), effleurage (long, smooth strokes), friction, tapotement (percussion-like movements), and vibration. Swedish massage is ideal for those who have never before visited a massage therapist.
Shiatsu
Deep tissue massage
The health resource VeryWell states that shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork that involves localized pressure by the therapist’s fingers or other body parts (elbows/arms) in a rhythmic sequence along the body. Each point is held for a few seconds. The practice has roots in traditional Chinese medicine, and can be used to stimulate acupressure points on the body.
Hot stone massage
Reflexology has ancient origins, but was refined by physiotherapist Eunice Ingram in the 1930s. It targets areas on the hands and feet believed to be connected with other areas of the body. Reflexologists apply pressure to these points and can stimulate the release of endorphins in the body to reduce stress and discomfort.
Gifting massage is easy when one knows the type of massage a person desires and the place he or she frequently visits for massage therapy. However, those who are new to massage can use the FindaMassageTherapist.org locator to find professionals in their area. Brushing up on the types of massage therapies available can help giftgivers make more informed decisions.
According to Massage Envy, a retail chain of massage therapy locations, deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but the technique focuses on the deepest layer of muscles to target knots and release chronic muscle tension. This massage can work out kinks and is recommended for people who like a deeper-pressure massage.

When giving a hot stone massage, massage therapists will use a form of therapy that follows the same principles of Swedish massage with the

addition of heated stones, according to HandStone massage centers. Adding heat to specific areas of the body enhances feelings of relaxation. The heat also enables the massage to be delivered without extra exertion of pressure.
Reflexology
Aromatherapy massage
Many massage therapists will offer aromatherapy as part of massage packages. Scents may trigger certain responses, helping to invigorate, relax or recharge the body. Oils may be scented, or perfumed candles or incense may be present in the room.

Foods that positively affect mood
No one is immune to the occasional bad mood. Whether it’s the weather, waking up on the wrong side of the bed or another variable, various factors can have an adverse affect on a person’s mood.
Fatty fish
The minerals selenium, copper, magnesium, manganese, and zinc have all been linked to mental health, and nuts are rich in each of those minerals. Hackensack Meridian Health notes that almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and peanuts are particularly good sources of the immune system-boosting minerals zinc and magnesium.

Dark leafy greens
Dark, leafy greens like kale, spinach and collards are rich in iron and magnesium, both of which can increase serotonin levels and help reduce feelings of anxiety. Dark, leafy greens also help the body fight inflammation, which can have a positive effect on mood. A 2015 study published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry found that brain inflammation contributed to certain behaviors, including low mood, that appear during major depressive episodes.
Dark Chocolate
Chocolate lovers may be happy to learn that dark chocolate can improve mood. A 2009 study published in the Journal of Proteome Research found that dark chocolate helped to reduce levels of the hormone cortisol, which has been linked to stress. Hackensack Meridian Health notes that, when consumed in moderation, dark chocolate made of at least 70 percent cocoa can help people relax.

GET RELIEF from your pain & numbness
Food is one factor that can have a positive effect on mood. Certain foods have been found to positively affect mood, so incorporating them into your diet may help you stay positive even on those days when you get up on the wrong side of the bed. A study from British researchers published in the Archives of General Psychiatry found that a daily dose of an omega-3 fatty acid called eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, helped patients with depression significantly reduce their feelings of sadness and pessimism. Hackensack Meridian Health notes that salmon, albacore tuna, sardines, trout, and anchovies are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Music can express many emotions, be a source of comfort and encouragement or simply induce a peaceful state of mind. For those looking to express their love for a special someone, songs with or without lyrics can help convey such feelings. Music lovers may greatly appreciate songs chosen especially for them in honor of Valentine’s Day. Therefore, as a heart-warming gift, curate a special selection of songs that can be gifted to a loved one. Even though it’s an inexpensive way to show you care, the meaning behind the gift can be profound. While “mix tapes” of the 1990s may have fallen out of favor, individuals who subscribe to streaming music services can do something similar by establishing custom playlists. Look to options such as Pandora, Amazon Music, and Spotify for inspiration. For those who want to go a little further, upload audio versions of several songs and create a YouTube video montage featuring meaningful photos. When considering which songs to include, think about “Endless Love,” which Billboard places in the No. 1 spot on its list of the top 50 love songs. This song remained at the top of the charts for nine weeks in 1981 and features the vocal talents of Lionel Richie and Diana Ross
