Indian Head Massage has many health benefits both physically and emotionally.
The aim of Indian head massage is to release tension in the muscles and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders. Indian head massage can also help with relieving fatigue, insomnia, headaches, and sinusitis. The experience is deeply calming and relaxing, leaving a feeling of increased energy, concentration and revitalisation.
Aids in the relief of migraines
Often tension in the mid back, neck and head can lead to
headaches and migraines. Your massage will focus on applying pressure to the
neck, mid back, arms and shoulders to reduce tension in the muscles.
Promotes Hair Growth
Massage to the scalp and head increases nourishment and
oxygen to the hair follicle which in turn stimulates hair growth. Kneading of
the head during a massage, opens up the blood vessels on the scalp and
helps in better absorption by the blood vessels.
Stimulates Lymphatic Drainage
The lymphatic system removes waste products from the tissues
and back to the heart. Indian head massage aids in this process by stimulating
circulation, encouraging the natural drainage of the lymph. It also helps
in bringing new nutrients and oxygen to cells. Indian head massage when used
for lymphatic drainage can be used to treat swelling and post-traumatic facial
oedema after bruising, fracture or surgical procedure.
Relieves insomnia and fatigue
Indian head massage relieves stress and tension within the
body by promoting relaxation. This allows a deep sense of well being and
relaxation, which in turn affects your sleep cycle.
Relieves symptoms of anxiety and depression
Massaging the head encourages the supply of oxygen to the
brain which is one of the best ways of reducing anxiety and of lifting one’s
mood.
