A fertility massage is among the most sought after of alternative fertility treatment options. Fertility massages have proven to be useful for both men and women. They are recommended for people seeking different approaches to treat infertility. A fertility massage is equally applicable to an infertile couple seeking herbal treatments or for couples seeking assisted reproductive treatments like IVF, with fertility massage being used as a supplementary or secondary treatment.
Even couples without an established history of infertility seek fertility massage when trying to conceive for the first time—precautionary application of fertility massage. Fertility massages have been able to resolve a very common cause of infertility—stress or psychological issues.
Understanding Relationship between Stress and Infertility
If stress/anxiety aren’t duly resolved, they lead to many conditions that slowly impair the normal functioning of various bodily processes. Common examples include insomnia, wherein the sleep pattern of an individual suffers. It may seem that sleep has little to do with the functioning of reproductive organs but many of the metabolic processes, including those that regulate secretion of hormones, are harmonized during sleep.
Another common example of stress-induced issues indirectly leading to infertility includes stomach ulcers and other intestinal issues such as irritable bowel syndrome. While it may seem that digestive processes have little to do with vitality of reproductive organs, this isn't the case. Digestive processes are at the core of bodily functions aimed at the elimination of various toxins. When these processes are hindered, toxicity in the blood and bodily fluids rises, leading to unresolved cases of internal inflammation, like recurrent uterine infections or endometriosis, that are common causes of infertility.
Many couples struggling with infertility often know little about the exact cause of their infertility. This is referred to as an undiagnosable infertility wherein the attending specialists cannot decode the exact reason hindering pregnancy. It is commonly believed that the primary reason for such unresolved cases of infertility is a history of mental stress. Raised anxiety levels are known to harm the body in multiple ways, but many times, the harmful effects don’t surface in the form of a single, recognizable disease but a host of symptoms that slowly weaken the sexual and reproductive health.
How Fertility Massage Provides Rest to Cure Infertility
Mental rest is the prime cure for the above-quoted causes of infertility, wherein the mind needs to relax comprehensively so that anxiety levels are alleviated. Rather than using prescription medications like sedatives that carry the risk of side-effects, a better approach lies in using fertility massages.
Fertility massages are conducted using massaging techniques, wherein a part of the body is continuously massaged to encourage better circulation of blood. The massaging action stimulates the organs which were suffering from internal inflammation, untreated adhesions or toxicity. This kickstarts a process of internal rejuvenation which includes the increased secretion of many hormones. Some of these hormones are directly responsible for inducing a feeling of happiness or an extended feeling of relaxation. Though this effect might be lesser than that of prescription medications, it presents negligible risks.
The feeling of relaxation is further enhanced as the massage specialist compresses the skin and underlying muscles in a typical way to undo internal knots or points of stagnated energy. Those who endorse the idea of internal energy or Qi (related to acupuncture) understand that this helps in harmonizing the body’s internal flow of energy. This raises the overall feeling of relaxation or wellness, helping the patient to rest.
