Hand Massage

To give yourself a hand massage, start with your knuckles. Massage each knuckle in a circular motion. Massaging the thick muscle between your thumb and your index finger is relaxing as well. Use your opposite finger and thumb to apply pressure to the muscle, increase the pressure throughout the massage. Stretching your fingers is also an excellent technique for relief. Hold your hand with your palm up and pull your fingers back to stretch.

These techniques are quick ways to improve blood circulation, which can improve overall blood flow, and in turn helps your immune system fight off bacteria.
