INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

Practised in India for over 1000 years, this is a wonderfully relaxing and de-stressing massage with its roots in Ayurveda. Although called 'Head' massage, the upper back, shoulders and neck are also worked on intensively.  A full treatment may also include the scalp, arms, hands & face. The three upper chakras (Crown, Brow & Throat) are balanced during the treatment which leads to a sense of calm and wellbeing.

The treatment is usually carried out over clothes and with the client seated comfortably.

Benefits in the areas being treated may include:

·         Relief from muscular pain & stiffness

·         Increased mobility of joints

·         Relief from tension headaches, sinus problems, tinnitus & eye strain

·         Increased energy levels

·         Alleviation of stress, anxiety, lethargy & mild depression

·         Stronger, healthier & shinier hair

·         Improved sleep patterns

·         Improved concentration and clarity of thought

·         Sense of tranquillity, calmness and well-being

Traditional Indian massage oils (chosen according to your dosha type) may also be used on the scalp if required and they can benefit your skin and hair.

The treatment is tailored according to the client’s needs and lasts between 45 minutes to one hour. This treatment may also be combined with Kansa Vatki Ayurvedic Foot Massage – please see Combination Treatments to see more.
