What is Indian Head Massage?
Developed in India over a thousand years ago, Indian Head Massage is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing. The Massage treats the upper back, head, face, neck and shoulders in a sometimes vigorous but comfortable treatment. Techniques including champissage, circling under the occipital bone at the back of the head, thumbing along the tops of the shoulders, head rubbing, and gentle root pulling combine to make this a varied and highly enjoyable Massage routine.
Benefits of Indian head massage
As well as being very enjoyable and soothing, Indian Head Massage has the effect of stimulating the mind and body. It is extremely useful for producing the following effects:
- Relieving headaches
- Soothing anxiety and stress
- Aiding sleep quality and encouraging healthy sleep patterns
- Reducing general tension in the body, particularly the neck and shoulders
- Possibly stimulating hair regrowth where follicles remain intact
What can you expect?
An Indian Head Massage session lasts for around an hour. You will be seated in a low-back chair or stool to receive a traditional Indian head Massage. You will remain clothed but wearing a shoulder-less vest is ideal to work most effectively on your neck and shoulder areas.
During the treatment you may experience some new techniques and sensations such as gentle hair root pulling and light finger hacking on the head. These techniques will always be done within your comfort level and are designed to be stimulating and invigorating whilst also being highly enjoyable. No oil is used so you do not need to worry about oil on your hair or clothes.
You can come for an Indian Head Massage as often as you enjoy or need. The treatment will leave you feeling deeply relaxed and balanced as the massage works to relieve muscle tension, relax tired eye muscles, re-balance the flow of energy within the body and trigger the release of endorphins within the brain. Higher chakras are balance at the end of the treatment.
