Life is full of ups and downs. June is PTSD Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to mentally rejuvenate and give your mind the attention it deserves. PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition triggered by stressful events. This condition causes extreme anxiety that makes it hard to be our best selves. Almost everyone is bound to experience a traumatic event in their life that keeps us from feeling as wonderful as we should. In fact, the global pandemic has caused some degree of trauma in all of us. Touch to Heal Spa values the importance of a peaceful mind and soul, and is committed to restoring and maintaining your natural wellness.
Feel Refreshed and Rejuvenated
PTSD causes an incredible amount of stress and tension in the body and the mind, and wellness treatments are designed to release that same type of stress. Trauma causes stress, which occurs because of a hormone being released called cortisol, that oftentimes leads to anxiety and depression. Luckily, wellness treatments are great for increasing blood flow and positive hormones like endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine that leave you feeling fantastic. A day at the spa, or even any of our premium wellness products, are the perfect tools for giving yourself a tension detox to live a happier, healthier life.
Get Rid of Aches and Pains
Stress can also cause physical pain that keeps us from feeling loose and free. Stress makes muscles become tense, which can turn into pain and frustration. Wellness treatments like massages aim to relieve this muscle tension by increasing blood flow and circulation. This blood flow makes muscle temperature rise and causes the tissues in your body to finally relax and feel amazing. In times of stress and trauma, our spa has everything you need to leave you feeling refreshed and ready to enjoy life.
Enjoy an Amazing Night’s Rest
Sleeping is key to promoting sustained healthiness, but trauma can make it difficult to enjoy quality restoration time at night. Wellness treatments are extremely effective in promoting the essential sleep your body needs. They help you to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, all while priming your brain and giving it the conditions that it needs to be rested and recharged for when the sun rises in the morning. Massages and relaxation products are essential to facilitating a restful sleep that takes your mind off of everyday stresses while making you excited for a great day ahead of you.
Protect Your Body from Sickness
Wellness treatments also help to keep you feeling healthy so you can continue to enjoy the things you love. Traumatic experiences and sustained stress lowers your immune system and makes you more vulnerable to sickness. A massage is a great way to increase the amount of disease-fighting cells in your body to ensure that you stay healthy. Don’t let stress and sickness slow you down—wellness treatments will keep you functioning at your best.
This PTSD Awareness Month, take some time to unwind and focus on releasing the many stresses of day-to-day life, especially during the times of trauma caused by COVID-19. Touch to Heal Spa is here for you to help you heal, with countless options to fend off the things that weigh you down while invigorating you for a bright, exciting life.
