It is an age old saying that a good massage gives more strength to our body than what we eat. If we read about the kings and queens of olden days we find that they used to have their own special trained massager. Getting a massage was a daily routine for them. As they knew massage keeps our body healthy and beautiful as well. When a child is born then also an expert lady is hired to give massage to the newly born baby and the mother. It shows even a lay man understand the value of massage.
Though we know massage is good for our body most of us are bewildered as how should we get good and right massage at a regular basis. There are so many sophisticated massage parlors especially in metropolitan city. But still common people hesitate to visit such parlor not being sure about the cost and whether it will be a good one or not. Further, hiring a permanent trained massager is also not possible for everybody as some people cannot afford and some are sort of time. So, getting regular massage is still a problem.
Though it is not always possible for us to visit a massage parlor or hire one massager still we should know some basic conventional rules about massage. First of all massage should be taken empty stomach before taking our meal. If it is not possible then at least four hours gap is must... Newly born babies are given massage normally with either Johnson baby oil. But sesame oil and almond oil is also regarded very well for the babies. For adult sesame oil is regarded as best oil but mustard oil is also a good substitute. Secondly, massage is harmful if taken immediately before or after the bath. At least half an hour gap is advisable. While getting self massage always the motion in upward stroke is advisable. But it is always advisable to get massage by an expert in the beginning.
