I am a young female with thinning hair. my blood work is healthy but i am under lots of daily stress. can i massage my head to help it get more blood?

Yoga and massage?: A lot of stress means it is more than ideal. When you are stressed, the survival mechanism kick in, we produce more adrenalin, our metabolism and energy demand of the brain goes up, and our muscles tense-up. Traditional massages by qualified technicians will relax our muscles, reduce stress, and increase blood supply to our vital organs. There are special scalp and neck massages for relaxation.
