The idea that touch has healing powers is not new. Remember when we were little kids and we bumped our head or our elbow? The first thing we did was run to our moms and she would rub it for it. For extra measure, she might even "kiss it to make it better".
Touch is the first sense to develop in humans, and may be the last to fade. Touch can reduce the heart rate and lower blood pressure, even for people in a coma. Touch also triggers the release of endorphins, the "feel good" chemicals that are also pain suppressants.
Therapeutic massage has been shown to alleviate pain and stress, reducing the need for narcotic or psychotropic medications, thus reducing the potentially-negative side effects that are associated with medication.
