The head, neck and shoulders are important energy centres within the body. Chronic stress or tension is often found to result in a physical response, such as stiff neck and shoulders, headaches, eye strain, even hair loss. Massaging the head can do much to relieve the stress that fills many daily lives.
The technique of Indian Head Massage has been practiced for over a thousand years in India. Originally it was used by women who found that massaging their heads with natural vegetable oils kept their hair healthy and strong. Head massage is part of everyday life in India, usually performed within the family from a very young age.
Head massage has a strong effect on the three higher chakras - throat, third eye and crown (chakra being the energy vortex that we need to remain motivated). As the massage works over the head, neck and shoulders, relief of tension is felt almost immediately.
Indian Head Massage is recognised as helping many conditions. Regular head massage is known to ease scalp and hair problems, aid localised blood and lymphatic circulation, relieve eye strain, boost the immune system, relieve muscle tension and assist in restoring join movement. As the massage releases tension it helps to reduce fatigue, increase mental clarity, relax and rejuvenate.
