The Indian head massage is an ancient therapeutic practice used in India for thousands of years ago. Originating from an Indian alternative medicine system called Ayurveda translated as the ‘science of life’, whereby it is believed that the mind and body are intricately connected and in doing so can influence one another. Through this theory, it is understood that Indian head massage can not only reduce headaches and improve physical well-being, but it can also improve mental and emotional wellness too.

Indian head massage treatment focuses on massaging acupressure points along the face, head, neck, and shoulders, often using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp condition.

There are so many benefits to Indian head massage; here are just a few:

  • Promotes hair growth by increasing oxygen in the hair follicles which stimulates growth and health.
  • Prevents headaches and migraines by releasing built-up tension in the head and neck area and relieving muscle stiffness.
  • Relieves symptoms of stress and anxiety by helping you feel relaxed.
  • Boosts mental clarity by improving your concentration.
  • Stimulates lymphatic drainage by increasing blood flow to your scalp, neck and face which can nourish tissues and help remove toxins.
