Indian head massage
Indian head massage has been around for 4,000 years. It is part of the ancient ayurvedic healing system, and a traditional part of Indian culture.
This healing treatment not only works on the scalp, as the name suggests, but also on the shoulders, upper back, and arms. These are all areas where we tend to harbour a great deal of tension – arising perhaps from poor posture, spending long periods in front of a computer screen, or due to an accumulation of emotional stress.
Benefits of Indian Head Massage
The therapeutic effects of Indian head massage last long after the treatment is over. The short and long term benefits are individual, varied, cumulative, and include the following:
- Relief from pain and stiffness in the muscles of the face, scapula, neck, upper back, and shoulders.

- Increased energy levels.
- Alleviation of stress, anxiety, lethargy, and mild depression.

- Improve skin condition and colour.
- Strong, healthy, shiny hair and scalp.
