The Benefits of Massage
Ijaws believe in massage as a treatment for just about every ailment on earth. You can get a massage for malaria, headaches, fatigue, fertility issues, etc. Ijaw massage is not often a pleasurable experience because their techniques take deep tissue to another level. Nevertheless, the positive after effect is without doubt. Massage can be very beneficial to the body and mind. It helps to relieve tension, soothe aching muscles and joints, and aid circulation.
So the next time you’re feeling a little under the weather, grab a bottle of your preferred carrier oil (almond oil, sesame seed oil, grape seed oil, etc.), get comfortable and treat yourself to a head-to-toe massage. You may also choose to get a professional massage at a spa or use the services of a willing member of your household.
Don’t forget to use long strokes for your limbs (arms and legs) and circular strokes for your joints (elbows and knees), and always massage towards the direction of your heart.
