Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is a relaxing holistic treatment which has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 1000 years. It involves acupressure massage of the head, face, neck and shoulders, often using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp condition, aiming to promote long life and balance the body’s energies. Here at Weaver Therapies, it is often chosen by clients to help relieve pain and stiffness of the head and neck, tension headaches and sinus congestion.
Your Indian Head Massage will be carried out sat in a special massage chair, starting with your shoulders to release tension. Your upper back will be massaged, working around your shoulder blades, followed by flowing motions moving up your neck massaging and stretching to relieve any stress and tension. Your scalp will then be massaged – usually with oil, but just ask for no oil if this is your preference – along the acupressure points on your head using a variety of techniques, moving on to your forehead and finally the area around your eyes.
Here are just a few of the many benefits of Indian Head Massage:
- Helps prevent headaches and migraines by releasing built-up tension in the head and neck area and relieving muscle stiffness
- Helps relieve stress, depression and anxiety through relaxation and quieting of the mind
- Stimulates lymphatic drainage by circulating blood to the neck area, detoxifying the body
- Improves sleep quality by reducing stress, restlessness and insomnia
- Promotes hair growth by increasing oxygen in the hair follicles which stimulates growth and health (especially when essential oil of Rosemary is used)
- Renews and balances energy levels by working with the three higher chakras, improving mental and emotional wellness
- Boosts memory capabilities
