The history, techniques and benefits of Indian Head Massage
Head Massage Therapy
Indian head massage has been practised in India for over 5000years and it brings many benefits. By skilled manipulation of soft tissues, head massage therapists use many methods applying varied pressures, sometimes holding and sometimes causing the head to move during the therapy. The purpose of Indian head massage is to release stress of headaches, or tightness in muscles, help in sleeping and generally increase health and well being. Touch is the core element of the head massage therapy, which is a balance of science and art. Indian head massage is a clothed massage and can be carried out at work or home.
Indian head massage relaxes the body by reducing the tension and stress of headaches, giving relief from eye strain, lowering stress levels, decreasing and helping control and reduce sleep problems, over a period of time. The other health advantages for people having Indian head massage therapy include improved circulation and hair condition. Indians believe that a thorough head massage with oil and the right rubbing-in techniques makes for a healthy scalp, strengthens hair follicles, improves texture and promotes a thick growth of hair.
Ayurvedic techniques are the basis of Indian head massage. They combine work on the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp, face and hands. Various techniques used relieve tension, stimulate circulation and improve joint flexibility. The therapy can be done with or without oil. The oils which are used benefit the whole body. It allows the client to be seated and remain fully clothed. For clients who choose an oil massage a towel is draped around the shoulders. The masseuse uses soothing and invigorating movements on the head, shoulders and neck, with traditional techniques passed down through the generations.
Head massage therapy may either be invigorating or relaxing depending on the requirements of the client. It treats the whole body as it works on the nerve endings in the head. This in turn, sends signals from the nervous system to the rest of the body. This improves blood flow to the head and neck encouraging healing throughout the body.
Indian head massage helps to restore balance in the body’s energy flow by leaving one with a feeling of peace. A good Indian head massage also helps stimulate drainage of the lymphatic system. This removal of waste products helps to restore and improve joint movement.
