Indian head massage has been practised in India for over a thousand years, originally by women who believed that massaging their heads kept their long hair healthy and strong. This is correct as massaging the scalp stimulates the flow of blood to the follicles, improving the supply of nutrients needed for healthy hair growth. Today, however, the most common cause of poor blood flow is stress-generated muscle tension. The traditional Indian Head Massage technique has therefore been adapted in the west to help the stressful demands of modern living. As well as the scalp, the massage covers the upper back, neck, shoulders, upper arms and face. It is conducted fully clothed on a low-back chair and is a wonderfully relaxing treatment. A variety of massage techniques are used – some stimulating, some soothing, some aimed to reducing muscle tension.
