ESPThere was an old commercial that your mom may remember. In it, a woman who was obviously being asked to handle multiple tasks for her family while also juggling the demands of running a house. The exasperated woman turns to the camera and screams, “Calgon, take me away!” (Calgon was a bubble bath product.)
While a bubble bath is always a nice idea, a massage can really help take Mom ‘away’ and ease stress to promote relaxation. Getting a massage provides busy moms with a welcome excuse for ‘me’ time. And it is great for her health. Massage reduces also cortisol (the stress hormone) and increases feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine.
