Indian Head Massage
a deeply relaxing holistic treatment
Indian Head Massage
An Indian head massage is a deeply relaxing holistic treatment that uses acupressure massage on the head, face, neck, and shoulders. It aims to leave you deeply relaxed and rebalance the body’s (nervous system) energies.
Indian head massage is based on the Ayurvedic healing system. It has been successfully practised in India for over a thousand years, traditionally used to ease stress and relieve tension. Massage stimulates blood, lymph and oxygen flow to the head, face and upper body.
Indian head massage may help relieve sinusitis, reduce stress, and improve sleep. It may also help cure headaches (even migraines), eye strain, and anxiety; some say it allows you to concentrate better at work.
What Happens During an Indian Head Massage
During the treatment, a unique blend of essential oils is chosen specifically for you and blended with a base of pure warm carrier oils. The warm oils are massaged into the shoulders, arms, neck, scalp, hair and face using a variety of pressure and techniques, including circular massage strokes on your scalp, deep tissue work on your shoulders, and stretching the neck.
Indian head massage eases tension by treating acupressure points on the head and upper body. Gentle massaging of the head and shoulders helps relieve muscle tension in the scalp and neck muscles.
Anxiety and tension can be the primary causes of headaches, tired eyes, and stress. After the massage, a relaxing facial massage with gentle pressure points stimulates the liver. Easing toxins into the lymphatic system helps to restore balance and well-being.
Benefits of Indian head massage
Indian head massage traditionally focuses on the three main “chakras” and can bring an incredible feeling of total relaxation. It benefits health, energy levels, and the immune system. It is deeply relaxing for the individual, leaving them feeling “floating” and deeply relaxed.
Conversely, you may also be left feeling alert and clear-headed as Indian head massage helps to alleviate brain fog, tension and stress. However, most people experience a deeper level of relaxation. Indian head massage offers many other benefits, such as improving aches, pains, and tension in the head, neck, back, and shoulders. The massage stimulates hair follicles and is said to enhance the texture of your hair and encourage hair growth.
Before You Arrive
Wear loose-fitting clothing so you don’t feel restricted or uncomfortable. It’s a good idea not to have too many layers. For an Indian head massage, the therapist will want to massage your neck, shoulders, and upper back. A polo neck or complicated or tight-fitting underwear may not be the best idea, as we want you to relax completely.
Remember that you may have oils rubbed into your scalp. You might want to take a cap or hair “Alice” band with you to make yourself look respectable on your way home or back to work. Hatfield Practice Indian head massage may take around an hour. Your therapist will chat with you before the treatment.
To provide an understanding and a perfect holistic treatment, it is essential to have a clear idea of your lifestyle and any particular aches, pains or ailments. The therapist may ask about any medical treatments or medications, as this might affect which oils are used and influence the direction of the treatment, such as pressure and technique.
