The power of touch refers to the emotional and physiological effects that physical touch can have on an individual. Touch can convey comfort, love, and support, and promote bonding. Research has shown that touch can also trigger the release of hormones such as oxytocin, which can reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being. In healthcare, touch therapy or such as massage is used to help with physical or emotional pain, anxiety, and depression.

Stress can have a negative impact on relationships in several ways:

• Decreased intimacy and communication: When one or both partners are stressed, they may have less energy for intimacy and may withdraw emotionally, leading to a breakdown in communication.

• Increased conflict: Stress can cause irritability, which can lead to arguments and conflict in a relationship.

• Decreased satisfaction: When stress affects a person’s mood and well-being, it can reduce overall satisfaction in a relationship.

• Decreased sexual desire: Stress can decrease libido and contribute to sexual difficulties.

• Decreased resilience: Chronic stress can weaken a couple’s ability to cope with challenges, leading to further stress and relationship issues.

It’s important for couples to identify and address stress in their relationship.

There are various ways to treat stress, one way to minimize stress is with touch therapy. Love your partner and yourself this Valentine’s day with the power of touch and give them a relaxing shoulder massage with one of the Bellabaci Genies, Cremes, or SOULFOOD Range.
