Effleurage is used in massage for its:

  1. stimulating effects

  2. soothing and relaxing effects

  3. heating effects

  4. magnetic effects

The correct answer is: soothing and relaxing effects

Effleurage is the massage technique of light stroking movements, commonly used to prepare the body for deeper massage techniques. Stimulating, heating and magnetic effects are not associated with this technique as it is primarily used for its soothing and relaxing effects. Effleurage is also known to promote relaxation and help relieve muscle tension. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer.
