Indian head massage is a holistic treatment that uses acupressure and massage on the head, face, neck and shoulders. It aims to rebalance your body's energies.
Indian head massage is an ancient complementary therapy, based on the ayurvedic system of healing that has been practiced in India over for over a thousand years.
It is a deep massage, using a variety of pressure and techniques, including circular massage strokes on your scalp, deep tissue work on your shoulders, and stretching the neck.
Benefits of Indian head massage
It focuses on the three higher "chakras" – throat, third eye and crown chakra.
It may relieve aches, pains and tension in your neck, back and shoulders. It also stimulates the hair follicles and is said to improve the texture of your hair and encourage hair growth.
An Indian head massage also stimulates blood flow, lymph and oxygen in your upper body, and therefore may relieve sinusitis, stress and aid your sleep. It is thought to help cure headaches (even migraine), eye strain and anxiety, and can help you to concentrate better at work.
Indian head massage is kind to your hair but it’s not kind to hairdos. Remove any hair bands, clips or slides before you go in. Bear in mind that you will have oils rubbed into your scalp - you might want to take a cap to make yourself look respectable on your way home, or back at work. If you're going out afterwards, you might want to give your hair a good wash beforehand.
What to expect from an Indian head massage:
An Indian head massage is 30 minutes. Prior to the session we will review your lifestyle and any aches, pains or ailments you have. You will have also completed a health check form. Which will be discussed in the session.
If you have regular Indian head massages it is thought to have long-term effects such as softer, shinier hair and improved condition.
