and births. It is an alternative medicine massage therapy in
which the head, neck and Face and facial areas are massaged with
the purpose of manipulating energy channels. The goal is to clear
blocks in these energy channels that cause a build-up of negative
energy that are purported to cause ailments. Head and scalp massage
can be used alongside simple meditative techniques to provide
a simple and effective way to relax. Indian head massage is especially
good for relieving stress, tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches,
migraine and sinusitis.

as part of regular grooming routines. Indian women used vegetable
oils such as coconut, almond, olive and sesame to nourish the
hair while promoting circulation through massage. The treatments
involves massage, shiatsu and acupressure techniques on upper
back, shoulders, arms/hands, neck, scalp and face. This relaxes
tense areas but, at the same time, helps to rebalance the energy,
clearing any areas of negativity. Indian head massage other used
for higher levels of alertness and concentration, improvement
of joint mobility, dispersal of toxins from tense, knotted muscles
and stimulation and improvement of circulatory and lymphatic
systems. If using massage oil, warm it slightly. Always make
sure the person getting massaged is relaxed, and aware. |
