1. It NOURISHES your nervous system.
Dry and dehydrated skin can affect nerve function as nerve pathways lie just beneath the skin's surface, potentially hindering signal transmission. The fats of body oils play a significant role in calming and nourishing nerves. The tradition of using fats, oils, and herbs for this purpose has endured through the ages.

2. It STIMULATES your immune system.
Our lymph filters all the particles that are too big for our blood to filter! Like excess hormones, toxins, viruses, and bacteria. Since the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump, as the cardiovascular system does, it relies on the movement of our body - exercise, manual lymphatic massage (which can be as simple as thoughtfully applying body oil), and diet.

3. It FOSTERS a deep sense of connection.
Through the ritual act of slowing down to apply oil over each limb, every reachable expanse of skin, we are reconnecting with ourselves. Our bodies, every shape and size, are a marvel and body oiling can be a way to heal and to love the image of ourselves that we hold in our minds, turning negative self-talk into positive and gratitude-filled self-conversations.

4. It REDUCES stress and anxiety.
Massage and body oiling stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body's rest-and-digest response. By activating this system, massage can help lower heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels, all of which contribute to reducing stress and anxiety.
