Jet lag massage in Amsterdam.Jet lag massage in Amsterdam.Plan A: It is better to avoid than to cure. Before your trip, make sure you avoid the worst effects of jet lag. Drink plenty of clean water. Also on the airplane. No alcoholic beverages. No soft drinks containing sugar such as cola, 7-up, which will alter your metabolism and energy balance. Fruit juices are OK as they contain natural fructose.
Just before a night flight, buy some melatonine pills (this is a natural substance also produced by your own body) in order to fall asleep in the airplane. Take those pills about two hours prior to the planned moment of falling asleep. Get some exercise by walking up and down the gangways.
Plan B: To cure.
1) After arrival start to walk as much as possible in daylight, if available in full sunlight. And take a massage. On the massage table I apply a system of soft pressure point therapy on key areas in order to influence the lyph system. and thus to lower the effects of jet lag. Your shoulders and back may have been hurt because of the suitcases.
2) Eat less. Try and starve your body a bit. This has shown proven results (Reports 2008).

MassageI believe that touch is a great gift between human beings. Massage works by means of the quiet, healing power of human touch. Touch forms the most direct contact without words between one person and the next - and it influences the well being not only of the skin itself, but of the entire person. Massage has miraculous healing powers.
The one who receives massage and the one who gives massage are not just concerned with a small part of the anatomy, just an arm or a leg or a back, but they bring with them their totality as a human being. During the massage, both the one who gives and the one who receives, stand at the outer limit of the skin - the most sensitive and largest human organ - and thus at the outer limit of the physical self. At its very best, the massage session forms a platform of bliss in a world sometimes full of stress and pressure. Massage is living in quality time. The release of energies and endorphins will make you feel good for a long time. Come discover this for yourself.
Being
Quiet and Trusting
Giving and reciving massage takes place in inner calmness and concentration on the basis of serenity and trust.
The massage which I give is slow ; it is called 'holistic' or 'intuitive'. It is applied with two full hands on the partner, and is aimed at relaxation and in the best of cases it may trigger - in the one who receives - an inner sensation of flow, peace, serenity and bliss. It is quite allright to enjoy and the human mind may soar as well. My motivation is in the pleasure of giving and receiving.
I do speak Dutch, English, German and also some French and Italian and I have studied at the Amsterdam Free University (Vrije Universiteit)

MASSAGE THERAPIY AGAINST DEPRESSION
Psychologists at Illinois University have researched effectiveness of massage therapy. A series of visits to the masseur may reduce depression, anxiety and pain. Even single visits may help alleviating anxiety and pain and may reduce hypertension and a high heart rate.
