Apart from breast massages to improve bust health and size, another wellness massage all women should try is a womb massage.
Womb massages have existed for centuries and are an ancient practice in many different cultures. It is an external and non-invasive massage technique that focuses on the lower abdomen and pelvis area to support women’s abdominal, reproductive and pelvic health.
Although a womb massage sounds intimidating, it is actually a relaxing and pampering experience, although some women may be a bit more sensitive to the pressure applied.
Not convinced? Here are six benefits of getting a womb massage that will encourage you to take the leap of faith. Read on to find out more!
1. Relieves menstrual cramps
A womb massage focuses on the abdominal area to relax the uterus which, in turn, reduces uterine spasms that are causing the cramps. Massaging the area also introduces heat that can help your muscles to further relax, improve blood circulation and relieve any tension – one of the reasons why heat patches exist for menstrual cramps.
2. Regulates your menstrual cycle
Other than relieving menstrual cramps, a womb massage may also help to regulate your menstrual cycle. Some women experience menstrual delays due to various factors such as stress, weight loss and hormonal irregularities but womb massages boost blood circulation and clear Qi stagnation to prevent that.
3. Improves fertility
If you are wondering whether a womb massage will be able to improve your fertility, the answer is yes! The massage aims to improve circulation in the pelvis and sacral area while also working on internal organs to support your digestive system and gut health. All of these promote harmony in your immune system which is much-needed when it comes to trying for a baby. Womb massages can also complement IVF treatments or get you ready for conception.
4. Reduces headaches or migraines
That time of the month can be excruciating as menstrual cramps are not the only things you have to deal with; headaches or migraines are often added into the mix, making you feel worse. Luckily, a womb massage increases circulation and oxygen flow to your muscles, helping to soothe headaches naturally. Massages are also generally a great way to help you destress to relieve headaches and migraines. In addition, a womb massage also helps to stimulate acupoints that promote Qi and blood flow along the Conceptional Vessel (Ren Mai) which is a channel of life-force energy for women’s health and well-being.
5. Prevents a dropping womb
Your womb or uterus can drop lower or slide down as your pelvic floor muscles weaken and this can cause lower back pain or the constant urge to urinate. However, a womb massage done by a professional can help to move it back to where it is supposed to be.
6. Cleanses the uterus
Getting a womb massage done after giving birth can aid in the natural cleansing process in which blood and other discharge get eliminated.
