Indian Head Massage has a long and ancient history. Indian women have always massaged vegetable oil into the hair and scalp to keep their long hair healthy and strong.
Indeed, we now know that massage to the scalp stimulates blood flow to the follicles, improving the supply of nutrients required for vigorous hair growth. The most common cause of poor blood flow to the scalp is caused by stress induced muscle tension.
Traditional Indian Head Massage involves only the hair and scalp, but the method I use includes the neck, shoulders and upper back, as these areas are important energy centres in the body and when you are stressed or angry a considerable amount of tension can build up in them.
Indian Head massage is a simple, safe and effective therapy, not only for promoting healthy hair growth, but is also renown for its effectiveness in relieving stress related symptoms such as tension headaches, eyestrain and aches and pains in the neck and shoulders.
Indian Head Massage involves using a gentle, rhythmical sequence of movements to clear blockages and unknot tense muscles which cause uncomfortable symptoms.
However it doesn't just work on a physical level but also on an emotional and spiritual one. The use of essential oils enhance the experience, uplifting the spirits, calming the mind, leaving you relaxed and refreshed.
