Indian Head Massage
- history
Indian head massage is an Indian tradition
dating back 4000 years. It originated through families
sitting behind one another and massaging each other's
heads with oils to promote healthy hair growth, shine
and heal scalp conditions with herbs, spices and oils.
They would use oils according to the season. Oils with
different healing properties were used, depending on
the persons condition and what they would like to get
out of the treatment. Oils used included: coconut, carrot,
almond, olive, sesame, hazelnut.
When Indian Head massage was introduced to the west,
neck, shoulders, arms and back were added to induce
relaxation of the whole of the upper body.
It is now used widely in offices where
stress and aches and pains have become common place.
It is so convenient and has such amazing immediate results
that it is just perfect for a quick pick-me-up. Oils
are not normally used in office environments, although
oils are optional.
