The techniques of Indian Head Massage are based on the ancient Ayurvedic system of healing. It has been used in India for a thousand years as a form of bonding and nurturing between family members; and was originally used by women who found it kept their long hair thick and luxurious.
Indian Head Massage is also a wonderfully relaxing therapy that relieves the stress and tension of modern day living. Anger, stress and tension often buildup in the upper body—the back, shoulders, neck and head regions.
During a session these areas are gently, firmly and rhythmically massaged until the pressure begins to melt away.
At the physical level a treatment can alleviate muscle tension, increase oxygen supply to the cells and stimulate lymphatic drainage. At a spiritual level it focuses on balancing and clearing blockages in the chakra energy centers to release negative energy and promote a feeling of calm.
