Indian head massage is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing, and traditional family techniques, which have been practiced in India for thousands of years.
Indian head massage has continued to evolve in the Western world and involves massage to the upper back, arms, hands, shoulders, neck, head, scalp and face.
This is a wonderfully relaxing, invigorating way to relieve stress, anxiety and also muscular tension that can build up and accumulate in these areas, showing as eye strain, stiff neck and shoulders and even hair loss. Massage increases blood flow to the area so circulation is improved, which brings in fresh oxygen and nutrients. Improved oxygen to the brain helps with clearer thinking and concentration, as well as increased circulation to the skin and hair.
This is a seated treatment that lasts about 30 minutes and the techniques used help to promote deep relaxation and stress relief, restoring balance and calm both physically and mentally. Though this is a clothed massage, if requested oils can be used on the upper body and scalp.
