Indian Head Massage is a wonderfully relaxing treatment that concentrates on the head, neck and shoulders using a variety of massage techniques to either relax or stimulate and work collectively on the major systems of the body. It is an ancient therapy which dates back thousands of years. It incorporates the principles of Ayurveda which translates to ‘science of life’ and is considered to be one of the world’s oldest healthcare systems. According to Ayurveda, health is when the mind, body and spirit are balanced and in harmony and disease is caused when this equilibrium is disrupted which can easily happen due to personal or environmental issues. The aim of this treatment is to rebalance the system once more.
Massage creates localised stimulation of the blood flow, lymph flow and nerve endings promoting improved muscle tone, joint mobility and hair growth and improves circulation by dilating the blood vessels aiding the transportation of oxygen and nutrients while stimulation to the lymphatic system helps with eliminating waste.

The psychological benefits include improved concentration through an increase in oxygen levels to the brain which also helps with releasing tension, relieving stress, inducing relaxation and raising confidence levels leaving clients feeling both calm and invigorated as well as being more alert and focused. It can help those that suffer with general localised aches and pains, headaches and migraines, muscular tension and stiffness in the neck, poor concentration and fatigue, stress tension and depression, hair loss, alopecia, insomnia, sinus congestion, eye strain and tinnitus amongst others. There are a few medical and skin conditions that would make this treatment unsuitable therefore a full consultation will be carried out before any treatments begin.
