Method of Arms Massage

The massage of the arms starts from the shoulder blades. Apply oil on the shoulder blades and put the arm in such a manner that the shoulder blade comes up. Then massage alone the bone with the side of the palm and go round the bone with circular movements, going down and upward on the shoulder blade itself.
Then put the oil in the armpit and on the upper arm. Press in the centre of the armpit to feel the pulsation of the carotid artery located in this area.
