As the rainy season approaches, we’ve been seeing more gloomy and overcast days.
Do you feel a little off during this time—like your body feels heavy, you have a headache in the morning, or you just can’t shake a low mood?
The cause might be imbalances in your autonomic nervous system due to changes in air pressure.
When low-pressure days continue, like during the rainy season, our bodies are under constant stress—even if we don’t notice it.
Lower air pressure reduces the oxygen levels in our bodies and causes blood vessels to dilate. As a result, you may experience:
- Headaches or dizziness
- Swelling (edema)
- Worsened shoulder or lower back pain
- Fatigue and drowsiness
- Low mood or depression
This type of discomfort is sometimes referred to as “weather-related illness”, and it’s closely linked to imbalances in your autonomic nervous system.
When you feel sluggish or unwell, why not refresh your body with a salon treatment?
Esthetic treatments offer more than just relaxation.
■ Activating the Parasympathetic Nervous System
Gentle touch and a calming environment during treatments help to suppress the overactive sympathetic nervous system, which is triggered by stress, and instead promote activity in the parasympathetic nervous system.
This leads to a variety of positive effects:
- Improved circulation → Helps reduce swelling and cold extremities
- Loosened muscle tension → Relieves shoulder and back pain
- Better sleep quality
- Enhanced digestive function
- Emotional stability
■ A Short Nap Does Wonders for Your Brain and Body
Many clients fall asleep during their treatments 😊
This brief sleep time is actually a powerful opportunity for both mental and physical recovery.
Even a 10 to 20-minute nap can shift your nervous system toward relaxation and help your body reset.
It’s the perfect remedy for pressure-induced fatigue!
This damp and moody season can affect your mind just as much as your body.
Let’s take some time to care for ourselves and get through the rainy season feeling refreshed and balanced 🌿
