The Strange Sensation of Being 'Massage Drunk': What You Need to Know

Welcome to Salt & Honey, where relaxation and rejuvenation await. If you've ever experienced the sensation of feeling "massage drunk," you may be wondering what it means and why it happens. In this article, we'll explore this strange phenomenon and what you need to know about it.

What does massage drunk mean?

Massage drunk is a term used to describe the feeling of being disoriented, lightheaded, or even euphoric after a massage. Some people describe it as feeling "floaty" or "zoned out." It's a common occurrence, but not everyone experiences it.

Why do I feel disoriented after a massage?

There are a few reasons why you might feel disoriented after a massage. One of the main reasons is that massage can help release toxins from your body. When toxins are released, they can cause temporary feelings of dizziness, nausea, or disorientation. Additionally, massage can help increase circulation and oxygenation in your body, which can also cause temporary changes in your blood pressure or heart rate, leading to feelings of dizziness or lightheadedness.

Why do I feel drugged after a massage?

Feeling "drugged" after a massage is a common side effect of the relaxation response that massage can trigger. When you receive a massage, your body releases endorphins, which are natural painkillers that also produce a sense of euphoria. This can lead to feelings of deep relaxation and even drowsiness, which may feel similar to being drugged.

What happens if you don't drink enough water after a massage?

It's important to drink plenty of water after a massage, as massage can stimulate your lymphatic system and increase the flow of fluids in your body. If you don't drink enough water after a massage, you may feel dehydrated, which can cause headaches or muscle soreness. Drinking water can also help flush out any toxins that were released during your massage.

Can a massage cause brain fog?

While it's not common, some people may experience brain fog or difficulty concentrating after a massage. This can be due to the deep state of relaxation that massage can induce, which can make it harder to focus or think clearly. Additionally, if you're dehydrated or haven't eaten recently, this can also contribute to feelings of brain fog.
