Originally it was almost exclusively concerned with massage of the head and hair follicles, although over time it has developed to incorporate massage and manipulation of the face, scalp, neck, upper back, shoulders and upper arms as is seen in the modern embodiment of the therapy.
It is believed that three of the major energy centres of the human body can be found in and around the head. These are the brow, the crown and the throat. Acting on a physical, mental and subtle level, Indian head massage stimulates these important energy centres, so helping to maintain the important balance of energy within the body, which in turn promotes a sense of well being, positive energy and relaxation. As well as working on energy centres massaging the head also stimulates the production of hormones and has a balancing effect on the rest of the body as the endocrine glands such as hypothalamus and pituitary gland benefit greatly from this massage.
Indian head massage includes massage of the shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face and ears. It is a wonderfully relaxing therapy that is safe and very effective at relieving aches, pains, stress and rebalancing energy flow to provide deep sense of peace, calm and tranquillity. There is no need to undress to receive the treatment.
I enjoy using coconut or rosehip oil to completely soak the head and hair when giving this treatment as it’s also very nourishing for the scalp and skin however I can also use herbal skin care preparations on problematic skin or rashes which would help the condition further by being applied and massaged in. I have seen very good results with this treatment to eliminate headaches, insomnia dandruff, psoriasis and hormonal imbalances.
