Tantra massage and Science
Where They Meet?
Tantra massage is not only based on ancient traditions, but also supported by modern science about the body and mind.
During slow and mindful touch, the body releases hormones like oxytocin and vasopressin — they help us feel safe, connected, and relaxed. These hormones also create a feeling of love, care, and emotional closeness.
Gentle touch also activates special nerve fibers called C-tactile fibers. These fibers send signals of calm and pleasure to the brain, helping us feel more peaceful and present.
​
Tantric massage also stimulates the vagus nerve — the longest nerve in the body, which connects the brain with the heart, lungs, and organs. When this nerve is activated, it helps the whole nervous system slow down, supports deep relaxation, better breathing, and emotional balance.
​
Deep, steady breathing during the massage helps the body open up and relax even more.
Soft and caring pressure can also release old tension from the fascia — a thin, but powerful web of connective tissue. Fascia is not only under the skin; it surrounds and connects all muscles and organs in the body. That’s why when tension is released from the fascia, the feeling goes very deep — many people describe it as a warm, blissful wave moving through the whole body, like energy is flowing freely again.
