Indian Head Massage Bournemouth
Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for over a thousand years, originally to keep hair in beautiful condition by stimulating blood flow to the scalp, nourishing the hair roots.
A variety of herbs, spices and oils were often used in the process which helped relieve a number of scalp conditions. Originally it was almost exclusively used just on the head, but over time it developed to incorporate massage of the face, scalp, neck, upper back, shoulders and upper arms, creating a deeply therapeutic experience.
Indian Head Massage was originally developed by women who practised the techniques within their family and friends of all ages. It gave great physical and psychological benefits. Later on hairdressers and barbers offered Indian Head Massage to both their male and female customers to compliment their services. The popularity of the service has continued to grow throughout India and the U.K.
It is believed that three of the major energy centres of the human body can be found in and around the head. On a physical, mental and subtle level, Indian Head Massage stimulates these important energy centres, balancing the energy within the body, promoting a sense of well-being, positive energy and relaxation.
