How Head Massage Helps with Insomnia and Anxiety
1. Relaxes the Nervous System
Head massage promotes relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. It also shifts brainwaves to alpha waves, helping to reduce anxiety and calm the mind.
2. Balances Hormones
Reduces stress hormones (cortisol)
Boosts happy hormones (serotonin)
This helps lighten the mood and makes it easier to fall asleep.
3. Improves Blood Circulation and Relieves Muscle Tension
Enhanced blood flow supplies oxygen to the brain, easing fatigue and tension. This leads to a deeper state of relaxation.
4. Provides Psychological Comfort
Gentle stimulation of the scalp fosters a sense of security, helping to release negative thoughts and promote emotional relief.
