Find out how this ancient method of massage can help you…

It sounds divine – just saying the words, ‘Indian head massage’ somehow promotes a sense of relaxation! But this is so much more than simply an indulgent ‘treat’.

Based on the ancient Ayurvedic system of healing, Indian head massage is a way of life in its birthplace, India, and we’re increasingly catching on to its major benefits here.

An Indian head massage can help with a whole host of physical and emotional problems and it’s also a cracking way to just relax.

Pregnant women (beyond the first trimester) find they benefit greatly from this kind of massage, as the sitting position is more comfortable when they have a bump to contend with.

It’s also great for those who want to seriously chill out but are too shy or don’t fancy the hassle of whipping their clothes off – no wonder it’s so popular.

Indian Head Massage can reduce headaches and back pain, promote hair growth if you’re getting a little thin on top, detoxify the body by stimulating lymphatic drainage, and relieve sleeplessness, restlessness and insomnia.

That’s not all though. In addition, it can lessen symptoms of anxiety and depression, renew energy levels and boost your memory – so what’s not to love?

Most Indian head massages will last for 30-60 minutes, the duration probably dependent on how many issues you would like to focus on within a session.

Normally done while you are seated, it works on your upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face, and uses massage, shiatsu and acupressure techniques.

Oil on the scalp can truly enhance your experience, but equally, you can request an oil-free massage if you’re going back to the office straight after, or you’re heading out for the night!

An Indian head massage works perfectly for the time-poor (and let’s face it, that’s most of us!), really helping you unwind and hit the ‘re-set’ button.  Sounds pretty magic to us…
