Indian Head Massage

The origins of Indian Head Massage are obscure, but like other arts and sciences with their origins in the East it appears to have been in use for many hundreds, if not thousands of years.

Massage was used traditionally by the women of India on all members of the family, and head massage was just one of the skills learnt and passed on from mother to daughters.

The Indian Head Massage uses a combination of techniques, designed to both work and relax the muscles, thereby increasing the blood supply and removal of toxins from the scalp, encouraging healthy and luxuriant hair growth, and invoking a feeling of release.

This form of massage is particularly effective at removing stress induced tension problems which frequently occur in and around the neck, shoulders and head, altogether a totally relaxing experience.
