Indian Head Massage

Indian Head massage has been used for centuries. It can be very spritual and very balancing. Some of the benefits are:


Physical Benefits
Improves blood flow to the head and neck, increasing distribution of oxygen and nutrients to nourish the tissues and encourage healing
Stimulates and improves lymphatic drainage to the head and neck, thus helping to eliminate waste material from the body
Relieves eyestrain and headaches and is effective to tinnitus, jaw ache, sinusitis, congestion and insomnia
Relieves mental and physical strain to improve concentration and better productivity
Improves muscle tone
Relieves muscle tension and pain from muscular spasms
Constrictions and adhesions can be reduced or prevented as traumatised muscle tissue heals
Unlocks restricted joint movements and improves their mobility
Revitalises the whole body
Scalp massage boosts the blood supply to the scalp, increasing the amount of nourishment and oxygen reaching your hair, thereby promoting hair growth.
