One of the best and most popular types of head massage is the Indian Head Massage. Many of you have had one – you just didn’t know it! It is a therapeutic massage of the shoulders, neck, scalp & face, without the use of oil, and performed while seated in a chair. Generally speaking, massages of all types are recommended for psychological well being and tension relief. Often, head massages can release emotions and feelings that you didn’t even realize you had.
Here are just some of the many benefits of a head massage:
• Relieves headaches, neck and back pain and generalized tension.
• Increases mobility of joints while also improving circulation. Improved circulation lifts energy levels, which improve concentration.
• Gives a sense of general well being and peacefulness
• Promotes and stimulates lymphatic drainage, thereby helping to boost the immune system and remove toxins
• Head massages reach all of the body’s energy centers where tension accumulates, including the top of the head, base of the skull, neck and shoulders, jaw, forehead and temples.
• Releases pent up emotions and help you to recognize trigger points so as to better deal with negative situations.
Indian Head Massage is the ultimate therapeutic and most popular massage of the head, neck, shoulders & face. This traditional and very effective massage is exceptional for relaxation and stress relief.
Psychologists all over the world recommend head massage for general well being, and the technique is even gaining popularity in places like hair and beauty salons.
Head massages have been practiced in ancient India and other Asian countries for over 5000 years. A three times a week ritual in many households, a head massage is given to infants all the way to adulthood.
Today’s work environment often requires us to sit at desks and work on computers for much of the day. Often, when one suffers tight muscles in the neck and shoulders from this type of work environment, a head massage will alleviate those problems.
Another benefit of having an Indian style head massage is that it has similar benefits of reflexology. All of your organs are not only linked to nerves in your feet, but also to the head. When you receive a head massage in this way, your body releases many harmful and degenerative toxins, helping you to avoid illness.
Don’t wait to have a massage as a “treat” for yourself. Think about it like you would any other maintenance routine – incorporate time for head massage just as you would a haircut or putting oil in your car. The best part about a head massage in particular, is it only requires 15-30 minutes of your time, but will reward you indefinitely.
