Healing Power of the Human Touch

From our first moments of life, the sense of touch is the most important of our five senses. We can't live without it. It is a basic human need. This isn't surprising when we think about how infants need loving touch to be healthy and develop properly. Additionally, touch can heal. Many conditions can be alleviated by the healing touch of another human being: headaches, stress, anxiety, difficulty relaxing, tiredness, chronic pain, strained or injured muscles. Healing touches release the body's natural capacity to heal. It's holistic; starting with the skin, it "touches" the mind and spirit as well as the body.

Simple affection is the most basic form of healing touch. Hugs, caresses, hand holding, cuddling, kissing and putting an arm around another express love and nurturing. A pat on the back communicates support and praise. And doesn't it feel so good???

Therapeutic Massage
This can bring deep relaxation to the body and reduce stress and mental and physical fatigue. It can help circulation and healing of tissues and bones. Headaches, back pain, and the pain of tight or overworked muscles can respond to massage. It can also improve posture, flexibility and give an overall sense of well-being.

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." ~ Leo F. Buscaglia

Helpful Hint:
It is possible to relieve or fend off a headache by gently massaging your ears, which releases tension from head muscles.
