Indian head massage

Indian massage is a very old technique that has been practised for more than 4,000 years. It used to be practised by women who wanted to improve the quality of their hair and to maintain their shiny hair this way. They used various oils, based on the season of the year.

These days these massages are used and applied especially for their anti-stress effects.
Indian head massage is a sensitive therapy that is sensitively applied on shoulders and upper parts of arms, neck, head and face, while the patient is sitting (they may lie down, too), usually without oils. It will relieve muscle tension perfectly, it will improve skin perfusion, it remedies everyday stress, headaches and eyestrain, or the tension in shoulders and neck. It improves hair quality, it brings the feeling of mental comfort and it harmonizes the organism as such in terms of mental and physical health.

The entire head is massaged, which includes hair and face. Special attention is paid to particular parts, i.e. eyebrows and forehead, where people usually feel most stress-related tension.

Massage clients are recommended to be half-fed (not hungry and not full).
Women and girls shall not wear makeup. (Warning: head massage will mess up hairstyles.)
People in India often receive this massage their whole life. If repeated, it can reduce the occurrence of migraines and it has strong relaxation effects.
