According to TCM, massage any portion of the body can increase blood and lymphatic flow by relaxing and rebalancing the flow of qi (energy). Western medicine likewise places a premium on the circulation of bodily fluids. Many young women have thick and fibrocystic breasts, which can make it difficult to detect breast lumps during self-exams. Not only does TCM Breast Massage make this possible, but it also nourishes and strengthens the breasts.
