Indian Head Massage
What is an Indian Head Massage?
According to the ancient theory of the seven chakras. Indian head massage is considered a method of cleansing and healing. The head, more than other body parts, represents our identity. It is the centre of our nervous system. If our head is fine, we feel good – as the Indians say.
“Almost every mother in the Indian subcontinent has practices scalp massage, which has become both a customary and integral part of her family life.”
Indian head massage is great for relieving the stress and tension in our everyday lives. The technique uses controlled movements and has a strong effect on the three higher chakras – the mind, body, and spirit. The chakra is the energy vortex that we need to remain striving and because the massage works on the neck and shoulders, tension is relieved almost instantly.
