It provides Indian families with relaxation and healing on a daily basis, as well as playing a part in rituals such as weddings and births, not to mention everyday events like a trip to the barber.
The aim of Indian head massage is to release the stress that has accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders.
About Indian Head Massage
Referred to in the Ayurvedic writings 4000 years ago, when Indian women would massage each others head in order to delay the on set of greying. This massage would also strengthen the hair. Massaging the head would start when a baby was born, but stopping with males at adulthood. Male Barbers would continue the massaging of adult males whilst having a hair cut.
Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system using the upper Chakras and has been practiced in India for thousands of years. Head Massage not only proves an invaluable treatment, it also helps relieve stress related problems including: headaches, eyestrain and neck and shoulder stiffness. The head more than any other part of our body represents who we are. It is the centre of our nervous system, and home to our identity and intelligence. The Chakra at the top of our head (Crown Chakra) is the one we use to communicate with our higher self. If our head feels good, we feel good.
The skull is covered with a thin layer of muscle which tightens when we are feeling tense, resulting in a headache and/or feelings of anxiety. By relaxing the muscles, a head massage can improve blood flow, alleviate anxiety and relax your whole body. There are energy centres in the region of the shoulders, upper back, neck, upper arms and face, the treatment of which can benefit the whole body. A combination of rhythmic strokes will soothe and rebalance the energy flow, creating feelings of ease and peace.
In addition this massage reduces stress levels, improves skin tone, increases alertness, stimulates the mind, improves sleep, strengthens hair, eliminates toxins and is psychologically uplifting.
