Indian Head Massage

A typical treatment starts with the shoulders, moves into the upper back, then flowing motions up the neck and finally the scalp, forehead and around the eyes. In a corporate or mobile setting the massage is usually done without oils.

Fever/high temperature, acute infectious diseases, scalp or skin infections, recent haemorrhage/head/neck injury, migraine during an attack, or intoxication.

Usually 45 minutes, but can be shorter depending on your current state of health and individual needs.

It's usually performed through clothing and/or directly onto the skin using a natural carrier oil such as sweet almond or coconut oil — the use of oil is optional.

Indian head massage triggers the release of 'feel good' chemicals, creating a sense of contentment and happiness, renewed vigour, and relief from stress and low mood.

Some people experience fatigue, drowsiness or muscle pain, or an increased urge to urinate as toxins are eliminated. These effects rarely last more than an hour.

For general relaxation, every 2–4 weeks is a good rhythm. For a specific health condition, weekly treatments for 4–6 weeks may be suggested until you notice improvement.
