Take a look at the benefits below and treat yourself to an Indian head massage today!

1.Aids in the relief of migraines
Often tension in the mid back, neck and head can lead to headaches and migraines. Your massage will focus on applying pressure to the mid back, arms and shoulders to reduce tension in the muscles. Massage around the neck and head encourages circulation of cerebral fluid and reduce headache causing blockages.

2.Promotes Hair Growth
Massage to the scalp and head increases nourishment and oxygen to the hair follicle which in turn stimulates hair growth. Kneading of the head during a massage, opens up the blood vessels on the scalp and helps in better absorption by the blood vessels . Each hair follicle needs equal amount of nutrients to go into them for the proper growth of each of the strands. Therefore the more massage you have (also accompanied by a good diet), the greater the chances of good hair growth.

3.Stimulates Lymphatic Drainage
The lymphatic system removes waste products from the tissues and back to the heart. Indian head massage aids in this process by stimulating circulation, encouraging the natural drainage of the lymph. It also helps in bringing new nutrients and oxygen to cells. Indian head massage when used for lymphatic drainage, is an effective treatment for puffiness. 

4.Relieves insomnia and fatigue
Indian head massage relieves stress and tension within the body by promoting relaxation. This allows a deep sense of well being and relaxation, which in turn affects your sleep cycle.

5.Relieves symptoms of anxiety and depression
Massaging the head reduces tension build-up around the neck and shoulders. The head massage ideally starts on the upper back and neck, working on all the muscles and pressure points, giving you quick relief from tension and stress.The same technique is then applied to the scalp. This further relaxes and stimulates your body. This technique not only augments the circulation and oxygen flow but also stimulates hair growth and revitalises brain cells. The massage ends up at the face, massaging all the right pressure points to help reduce headaches and sinusitis issues.

Various techniques are used for giving an Indian head massage, which addresses the back, neck, scalp, and face areas and is focused on various pressure points. This type of treatment lasts for 40 minutes .
