About Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is fantastic for those people who require a ‘quick’ treatment. It works specifically on the area around the head, face, neck, extending to the shoulders and upper back and comes from Ayurveda, an ancient method of natural therapies, which Indian families have a long tradition with. Mothers would stroke their daughters hair to promote health and growth more than 5000 years ago. There are several stories of who brought Indian Head Massage to Britain but it is most likely to have been introduced in the 1960’s and 70’s and has developed in popularity since the 1990’s.
Who can enjoy Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is suitable for most adults but there are certain conditions where it should be avoided so before treatment begins a thorough consultation takes place. All consultations are confidential.
What happens during an Indian Head Massage
Treatment lasts 20 minutes and is non invasive unless oil is required to the upper body. You will be invited to sit and relax in a low backed chair. Oil to the scalp is optional.
After your treatment
Your body responds in many ways – stress and muscle tension is relieved, eyestrain leading to headaches are relived, mental and physical strain is relieved, concentration, memory and mental alertness improves - you should try to rest afterwards as this helps the natural healing process. Avoid a heavy meal within 2 hours of treatment. Alcohol, caffeine based products and tobacco should be avoided for 24 hours and instead drink plenty of still water to flush away toxins.
