Massage is a health therapy that is widely used by people for various purposes. Starting from overcoming aches, drive out fatigue, to help smoothen the breast milk of nursing mothers. Specifically to facilitate breastfeeding, massage is done by oxytocin massage techniques. The hormone oxytocin is very important for women. The hormone produced in the brain called the hypothalamus plays a major role in several important processes in a woman's life, including orgasm, childbirth, and breastfeeding. How Oxytocin Works in the Breastfeeding Process In the process of breastfeeding, the baby will touch the mother's nipples. Then, nerve cells in the breast will send signals to the brain to release oxytocin. When the amount increases, this hormone causes the glands in the breast and milk ducts to contract, and channels milk through the nipple. You must remember that oxytocin only helps to release milk from the body. This hormone cannot affect the amount of milk produced in the body
