Good health is a combination of many factors; including, but not limited to: clean air and water, good nutrition, exercise, plenty of rest, and good genes. Other things that are necessary are nurturance, which comes from positive interaction with other human beings and includes safe pleasurable touch.

The most ancient healing art comes from India and is called Ayurveda, traslated it means the 'Art of a long and healthy life.'

The famous author Ashley Montagu Ph.D, said that: "It [love] is the communication to another, by demonstrative acts, of your profound involvement in their welfare ."

Without this love, it has been documented that babies in orphanages die, even if they get the basic care and nourishment, without the lack of caring nurturant touch they die at an alarming rate in a short period of time.She would spend most of her time cuddling and stimulation th4 babies. Se had an 80% survival rate, Most of your hid success was attributed to the mother and calf havine bonding and reinforcement time.

Maybe we as adults do not recognize this need, but just watch the news and realize for every rape and murder, there are countless more that would act out such aggression, but they have learned to manage it.

This management is not easy, and leads to depression and cardiovascular disease, The number one cause of death in the US is from cardiovascular disease, fueled by depression. That is why antidepressants are the most prescribed medications in the US.

So good health is all the above, plus a management system for stress and depression. Massage Therapy has shown to address both and provide positive results if done peoperly by a trained and licensed massage therapist pofessional.
