Directing more blood flow to the head also allows more oxygen to reach the brain, naturally improving brain function. Encouraging circulation to the upper body also helps to flush out toxins and improve overall circulatory health, whilst stabilising the mood and improving mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.
