Editor's Notes

  1. Massage excites muscular contraction Encourages nutrition and muscle development- increase in size, firmness and elasticity Stimulates nerve endings so individual musle fibers bcom active n move
  2. Area that are extra sensitive, irritated, or has open sores should not be brushed.
  3. Mechanism : histamine & hypothhamus
  4. But when kapha becomes out of balance, we may feel sluggish, weighed down, sleepy, and experience accumulation of toxins (such as cellulite or dead skin).
  5. Cellulite toxic deposits of subcutaneous fat n fibers tissues that are unable to eliminate.
