gentle touch is arguably the oldest form of traditional healing

giving a reassuring touch or a hug to someone can trigger a neural pattern of comfort and affection

in the same way we can do this for others, we can do it to ourselves

we instinctively use gentle touch to alleviate pain, but the healing qualities of touch go much deeper

touch reduces cortisol levels, lowering stress and anxiety

touch has been proven to boost the immune system, slow the progress of disease, accelerate wound healing, lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation and improve sleep

touch also brings a focus to a specific part of the body, promoting blood flow to the area, which in turn helps the body to heal itself
