About this evidence tier

This is a provisional editorial rating for the general practice, not proof that it treats a condition. Research citations will be attached after source-level review. Use the safety notes and judge the practice by your own tracked response.

Massage lowers stress hormones and invites parasympathetic tone. Self-massage of the hands, feet, or neck is accessible daily.
