Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage originates from an Indian alternative medicine system called Ayurveda, (translated as the ‘science of life’), whereby it is believed that the mind and body are intricately connected and thus can influence one another.
* Promotes hair growth by increasing oxygen in the hair follicles which stimulates growth and health.
* Increases joint mobility and flexibility in the neck and shoulders
* Prevents tension in the upper body by releasing built-up tension in the head and neck area
circulating blood to the neck area
* Aids better sleep by reducing stress
This treatment can benefit from using oils if you wish to nourish the skin and hair.
However, the choice to add oils is totally up to you and something we will discuss in your consultation. It is usually done while seated, therefore making this an easily accessible treatment for all; but can also be adapted to be carried out lying down on a massage table if required.
