Indian Head Massage
The Treatment
Indian Head Massage is an extremely effective therapy and is based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system using the upper Chakras and this tradition is still carried out in modern India today.
The head, more than any other part of our body represents who we are. It is the centre of our nervous system, and home to our identity and intelligence. The Chakra at the top of our head (Crown Chakra) is the one we use to communicate with our higher self. If our head feels good, we feel good. This treatment can benefit the whole body and can re-balance the energy flow so, therefore, create a feeling of ease and peace.

How does it work?
This massage can be undertaken fully clothed if the client is wishing not to use oils or a towel can be placed if oils are wanted to be used*.
The treatment takes place with the client in a seated position and massaging techniques are used on the upper back, neck, shoulders and head.
The massage works on areas of the body particularly prone to stress, especially the neck and the shoulders where tension affects major muscle groups, it can often bring immediate relief. These tensions are eased and fibrous knots and nodules melt away.

*As the massage is done through clothing its best to wear just one layer made from natural fibers to avoid any aggravation to the skin. The oils used are all from Neal’s Yard Remedies and are organic.
