INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE BIRMINGHAM
Indian head massage is an Ayurvedic holistic therapeutic practice practiced through centuries in India and has many known benefits to one’s physical and mental as well as emotional wellbeing. It focuses on massaging pressure points along the head neck and shoulders in order to relieve tension and increase blood flow to stimulate lymphatic drainage. Please ensure you have read and understood the before & aftercare instructions before your appointment. This can be found at the bottom of this page or by clicking the button below this paragraph. This is very important in order to get the best possible results from the treatment, but more importantly to avoid any adverse effects from the treatment.
INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE STEPS
- HAIR OILING: The head massage starts off with the application of Medium to Hot Herbal oil, prepared for your specific scalp type and hair condition, to the middle of the head, where the crown Chakra is. The Hair is then sectioned & the remaining oil is applied to each section generously until the hair and scalp is fully covered in oil.
- HEAD MASSAGE: Whilst seated the scalp, neck, ears and shoulder is massaged using gentle yet firm movements, focusing on pressure points to relieve tension. This can address any minor Hair or Scalp concerns you may have such as hair loss, mild dandruff, hair growth and dry scalp.
- LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE: During the second part of the Indian head Massage you will be asked to move to a treatment bed where you will be requested to lie head down. Further massage techniques will be used to drain the lymph nodes around the neck, shoulders and upper back area, in order to relieve further tension and stimulate lymphatic drainage.
- SCALP SCRUB: The oil will be left on for 5 mins then a Scalp Scrub will be applied to lift off any dead skin cells and dirt.
