indian head massage

Indian Head Massage is a massage to the head, neck and shoulders that originates from India. It is specifically designed to target those crucial areas of the upper body where tension and stress can often accumulate. Not only is the massage therapeutic and relaxing, but, with the use of certain oils, can also help to promote hair growth.

The treatment is very relaxing and often relieves tightness around the neck and shoulders and can cure headaches caused by nervous tension. Blood circulation is increased and more oxygen is released to the brain, thus stimulating stronger powers of concentration and energy.

Regular sessions can help lift you out of the stresses of daily life at home/or in the workplace, and even a one-off session during a particular stressful time (or just because you feel like pampering yourself) can be beneficial. An estimated 75% of illnesses or diseases are stress related and up to 60% of absenteeism at work is attributable to stress related causes. The body responds to stressful thoughts or situations with muscle tension, which can cause pain or discomfort.
