Breast Massage

Are you unhappy with the way your breasts look? You might be surprised to learn that 90 percent of women answer “yes” to this question. Most of them worry about the size and others cry over the shape.

How to do a Breast Massage 

Breasts aren’t usually invited to the self-care party—despite the fact that there’s a restorative practice for pretty much every other part of the body (pubic hair included). But there’s an argument to be made for crowning the girls guests of honor during your next big night in—as it turns out, massaging your melons has some major health benefits.

“Massage is a wonderful, stress-relieving, detoxifying practice for the whole body,” says natural beauty expert Jessa Blades. And no, you don’t need to be pregnant or nursing to reap the rewards, a fact the holistic wellness world’s been clued in to for ages. “In Ayurveda, if you get a full-body massage, your breasts are massaged too,” Blades notes. “It’s odd that we don’t massage the breasts [in the West].”

While mammary manipulation might not be mainstream at the moment, that’s starting to change as word gets out on the physical and emotional benefits the practice produces. And fortunately for those too shy for a full-frontal rubdown from a stranger, it’s easy to do at home.
