Among alternative treatments pursued for treating infertility, fertility massage is often the preferred option. Fertility massages are recommended for detoxification among people wherein infertility is linked to increased toxicity in the body systems. However, before undertaking a fertility massage, it is imperative to understand the dynamics of such massages.
Why Is Detoxification Necessary?
Nearly everybody is prone to consuming trace amounts of toxic compounds that are present in food sources and various household products that surround us. This leads to the gradual build-up of toxins in our bodies. Though the human body has its own mechanism of purifying and filtering-out the toxins, it is often overwhelmed by the amount of contaminants that are absorbed on a daily basis.
Some toxins are produced by the human body itself. A common example of this is the impaction of stools along the inner lining of colon that is associated with chronic constipation. This leads to the slow, sustained leakage of toxins into the surrounding tissues and the circulatory system.
Among metabolic functions that directly affect the fertility of an individual, endocrine functionally or regulation of hormones is very critical. Many of the contaminants that are sustained with the human body act as Endocrine Disruptors. They mimic and disrupt the function of the bodily hormones. The appropriate secretion of hormones is vital for maintaining fertility in both, men and women. Apart from harming the hormonal functions, toxins lead to impaired immune functions. This means that the overall health of the individual suffers, which directly leads to a decline in the quality of sperm and egg cells.
How Fertility Massage Aids Detoxification
Many kinds of fertility massages like castor oil massages are specifically recommended for detoxification. These massages are aimed at stimulating the metabolic functions that have been impaired due to the increased toxicity. These massages improve the overall circulation of blood in the body that helps to overcome the congestion of body organs. The rejuvenated organs are able to get rid themselves of the toxins to a greater extent.
For curing toxicity-linked hormonal imbalances, fertility massages are aimed at stimulating the action of liver and kidney. These are the two, most potent organs that act as the body’s natural detoxicants. A toxic liver is an established cause of many infertility conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and hormonal imbalances.
Fertility massage is able to loosen adhesions or scar tissues that develop faster due to decreased immunity induced by toxins. This is why fertility massages are often conducted in the form of specific oil packs that are applied directly over the gall bladder, liver and the kidneys.
Specific fertility massages like intestine or stomach massages are aimed at gently inducing greater motility in the intestines. This is particularly applicable in cases wherein constipation is the root-cause of toxicity. The massaging action has an effect similar to a mild laxative--it promotes the natural movement and expulsion of feces impacted within the colon. Please note that impacted colons are known to compromise the health of uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries by exerting excessive weight on them.
Detoxification has a pronounced effect on raising the body’s overall immunity. When the internal accumulation of toxins is eased, the body’s immunity mechanisms can be directed at fighting infections/diseases caused by external causes. A healthier individual is less susceptible to medical conditions that can cause infertility and has a better chance of responding to infertility treatments.
People having undergone detoxification fertility massage often refer to an increased feeling of wellness that is largely indicative of issues like mood disorders or stress, that are often linked with undiagnosable causes of infertility.
