INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE
Recommended for: Everyone!
30 minutes
Working on the head brings tremendous relaxation and relief form stress-related symptoms, as well as tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraines and sinusitis.
Traditional Indian Head Massage originated in India and included just the head, but today’s treatments incorporate the face, neck, upper arms and shoulders too – the areas the accumulate high levels of stress and tension.
This 30-minute, seated treatment can be carried out with or without oil, so if you are short of time or would prefer not to get oil in your hair, that’s absolutely fine. If possible, though, the sensation of the oil does make the treatment more enjoyable and it does wonders for your hair and scalp too.
