Indian Head Massage

There are many benefits of Indian Head Massage:

Psychological:

• Reduced feelings of stress and tension
• Increased sense of relaxation
• Decreased anxiety leading to fewer sleep problems, hence less tired and less irritable
• Increased release of endorphins, promoting calmness as all points above

Physical:

• Increased mobility around the shoulders and neck regions.
• Increases circulation of oxygenated blood to all areas being massaged. The nutrients and oxygen taken to the ‘worked areas’ reduce tension in the muscle fibres.
• Increased blood flow to the scalp feeds this area, providing nutrition to the hair and stimulating hair growth.
• Increased blood flow to the brain reduces fatigue and improves concentration.
• Increased lymphatic activity. Lymph flow increases, taking waste material from muscle cells, thus, removing toxins from the body.
• The massage reduces tension and knots that have built up, especially around the shoulders.
• Reduction in muscle tension around the eyes and head, reducing headaches.
• Improved skin health.
• Decreases sinus congestion.
