What Toxins are Released After Massages? Benefits of Massage Therapy

After a massage, your body releases metabolic waste like lactic acid and urea, rather than “toxins.” Massage therapy boosts circulation, stimulates your lymphatic system and can leave you feeling refreshed, or rarely, tired, as your body naturally processes and eliminates these byproducts.

A masseuse in a red shirt applies her elbow in a massage to a male person’s back, who is likely wondering what toxins are released after a massage like this.

Well, our bodies work sort of similarly, particularly our digestion.
