Stimulate Your
Most Sensitive Organ
Before your mind starts
wandering, it is your skin that is the most sensitive
organ in your body. The Skin is in communion with
every organ, and with a multitude of tissues
throughout the central nervous system. One square
centimetre of skin has approximately 150 pain
receptors, at least 25 tactile receptors and 2 heat
receptors. The skin is the first line of defense
between us and the outside world of microscopic
invaders; it is also a link with the physiological
worlds within our own bodies.
So if you thought that a good
massage was little more than an idle indulgence,
think again. Because the skin is in communication
with so much of the vital inner workings of our
bodies, stimulating it can help activate the healthy
functioning of the whole body. Just as good a picture
is worth a thousand words, a good massage is worth a
thousand vitamin pills.
