Scalp massage is beneficial because it stimulates what?

Salivary glands
Blood circulation
Pituitary gland
Thyroid gland

The correct answer is: Blood circulation

A scalp massage is an effective way to stimulate blood circulation in the scalp. When the head is massaged, the movement and pressure of the massage helps to increase blood flow to the scalp. This increased blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, promoting hair growth and overall scalp health. The other options, while important glands in the body, are not directly impacted by scalp massage and would not provide the same benefits. Salivary glands are responsible for producing saliva for digestion, while the pituitary gland and thyroid gland play roles in regulating hormones and metabolism, respectively. However, none of these glands are directly affected by scalp massage. Therefore, option B, blood circulation, is the most accurate answer.
