October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the U.S. This year alone, there will be almost 300,000 new cases.

Research has come a long way with effective treatments. Recent studies show that massage seems to benefit breast cancer patients and survivors.

Naturopathica Holistic Health senior director of education Emma Gibson and massage therapist Marcus Williams shows you how.

For the month of October, Naturopathica is offering a 50% discount on signature body and facial oncology relief treatments at their spas in Chelsea, Tribeca, and East Hampton. The remaining 50% will be donated to Mount Sinai West Breast Surgery Center.
