does a tissue massage release poisons into your body that can leave you depressed?

No...Massages are proven ways of relieving depression and stress by helping your body to break loose and eliminate toxins from your system. Drinking water does help to get them out of your system faster after a massage though.

Everyone cries. Men and women. Perhaps women share their tears a bit more openly.....but we all cry inside. Its ok to cry......its cleansing in a sense. Ok well....without the soap.....that stings. But it does somehow make you feel better after a good cry. You've let all your emotions come to the surface and find their way out into the open. And sometimes that's exactly what you have to do in order to move beyond the pain and on to the next level of healing. So let the tears come if they want to. Its ok. :)

I have been coming to realize that there can be many forms of depression, according to its physical causes. What i mean by this is, lets say, some people may feel depressed for having divorced parents,others for a chronic ilness, others for a great loss or others for aparenttly no reason. The key to the cure is to find the source of your depression,accept it and work with it. You will possibly need medical help. And yes,little things will make you sad because you already have a predesposition to feeling down if you are depressed; the feeling can be of despair too,if you're deeply depressed.\n If you're just an eternal discontent then i think there is no cure,but a deep depression is a lot worse. If you'd like you can add up details to your question and the answers will be more specific. Best wishes.

Yes. A certain amount of what we breath in and put onto our skin is absorbed into our blood system. A lot of essential  oils are used for their healing properties. I'm an esthetician and I use them on a daily basis, both during my facial sessions and for personal use at home. My personal favotites are peppermint and french lavender, they both put you at a relaxed state of mind. If your interested in aromatherapy it's a good idea to get a book on the subject. I recommend Aromatherapy for Dummies, it's really informative. =)

I think massage therapy is both physically and mentally beneficial. It releases stress, can physically resolve issues if you let your masseuse know what you are suffering from. A benefit also comes from the fact that you are doing something wonderful for your self! \n\nI have a massage once a week during my busiest time of year, once  a month otherwise.\n\nI also believe in reflexology. I have this type of therapy several times a year.

I haven't heard this before.  To me it sounds like it would make you feel worse.  However, I know if you get a massage while sick, you will get really sick, but it will go through your body faster.  It may be possible to get the same effects through running, but be aware you might get a lot worse before you get better.  Rest and relaxation is the best way to get better.  Your body is meant to heal itself.

Yes absolutley, The most natural remedy is your mind and the strength of it.\nJust as your body needs exercise so does your mind.\nKeep yourself occupied when feeling depressed.\nlook up in the sky when you feel a bout coming on.\nLearn to recognize depression for what it is.....\nIt is only an emotion you must learn to control...\nEmotions can hurt you only if you allow them to...\nEvery one gets depressed ...some let it go to a point where it causes one to inflict harm on themselves.\nAs it is an emotion and only that you can and must realize it for what it is and make a consious descision to control it and not let it control you.\nThat is the exercise.\nYou must work out just as you work out with weights or in the gym.\nAlways keep in mind that it is only a feeling and it will pass it is uncomfortable at the time but it does go away and harming yourself for relief is not the way. Control it and it will pass.\nThere is a chemical reason for its increase and progression but that is brought on by the mind not controlling the emotion.It will feed itself if you allow it.\nDo not throw away the meds immediatly as the sudden shock to your system could worsen your situation. Tell your Doctor what your trying to do and work with him or her.\nBut you must first come to the reality of your affliction.

Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the body.

It depends on several factors.  If you are already experiencing pain, yes, the massage will hurt while the added pressure is applied, but should subside back to the original intensity within a few hours.  Most of the time, people do not have any unpleasant sensations from a deep tissue massage, if it starts to hurt, then ask for the therapist to not use so much pressure or to move to another area.  After working the same area for a while, it can become tender and uncomfortable.  Each person has a unique pain threshold of thier own, and what is painful to some is not to others. I personally feel pain very easily, due to a nerve problem, but do injoy a strong massage to work out the kinks in my neck shoulders and low back.  Hope this helped.

PEOPLE WITH CHEMICAL IMBALANCES STRUGGLE WITH DEPRESSION WHICH CAN LEAD TO SUICIDE. I BELIEVE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MEDICINE COULD LEAD SOMEONE TO THIS POINT. OTHER REASONS FOR FEELING BAD COULD BE PROBLEMS, LOSSES, ANYTHING FROM EVERYDAY LIFE. IF YOU ARE FEELING THIS WAY DEFINATELY GET IN CONTACT WITH SOMEONE OF THE MEDICAL FIELD. LIFE IS TO PRECIOUS TO CUT SHORT. WRITE A LIST OF THE THINGS U R GRATEFUL FOR.

no.  there are brain scans about levels of seratonin which is a nurotransmitter which they think is related to depression, but since the brain is so complex, there are many factors and variables.  if you feel depressed, you should try talking to a therapist.

That's the poison coming out of your system.  Let the sores alone or you will have scars.

Depression can cause a number of physical symptoms and reactions.  It is a combination of fear, anxiety, and stress which produces tension.  One of the ways your body reacts to tension  is muscle contraction.  This can manifest in tension headaches, or possibly in your case, back ache.  Stress and tension target the weakest most vulnerable part of your physical body, as well as your emotions.  \nDepression, clinically speaking, is a result of a chemical imbalance in the body produced by conflict at the soul level.  The limbic system responds to this stress, and  depression is a result of the chemical imbalance produced by the body in response.

I am going to answer this as a professional, licensed massage therapist, in hopes that your question is about massage therapy. It should not be a problem for you at all if you are going to a professional, licensed massage therapist. We are use to all sorts of body types and we know how to adjust techniques, pressure, the amount of oil, etc. for each situation. In the event you have a therapist that is "pulling" the hair or whatever so that it is uncomfortable, tell them so they can make adjustments. That goes for anything else, too. If the room is too hot, cold, you hate the music or it's too loud, the pressure is too much, whatever. Just keep the communication line open with your therapist because we can't read your mind, and we can't feel what you are feeling! (Also, a good therapist will tell you this, too!). Now, go out and get a massage because it's one of the best things you can do for yourself!!!!!   ; )

Yes this is totally normal.  Now that you have stopped putting an un-natural substance into your body, your body now has the ability to detoxify itself and to ride yourself of these toxins.  \n\nThese toxins do get released by your cells into your blood and your bodies natural immune response it attempting to rid your body of these toxins through the lung, skin, kidneys and bowel.\n\n Sometimes these systems, if not performing at 100% can be taxed or overloaded and not remove the toxins as quickly as they are being released.  This is what causes the ill effects.\n\nThere are many detoxification products and herbs out there that can assist in the elimination of these toxin in your body more efficiently.  Also be sure to be drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day which will definitely help the purging of these toxin more rapidly.\n\nYou are doing the right things your body is just doing it's best to get itself to be healthier state.  Good Job!
