Indian Head Massage Practitioners concentrate on massaging the head and shoulders with a variety of strokes, and working a warm oil (coconut is used in the Indian subcontinent) into the hair. This is said to relax the thin layer of muscle covering the head, improving blood flow. History This type of head massage is derived from the Ayurvedic branch of medicine which has been practised in India and Sri Lanka for over 3,000 years. 'Ayurveda' is a Sanskrit word meaning 'the science of life'. Indian head massage has been traditionally used by women to keep their hair and scalp healthy with the additional benefit of relieving stress. What to Expect Expect a variation on a hairwash - but an extremely relaxing one. This is a particularly subtle form of stimulation and can be very beneficial in relieving anxiety, as well as promoting luscious hair condition.
