Indian head massages originated over 2,000 years ago, and are still popular today. Indian head massages includes a neck and shoulder massage using techniques to help release and reduce stress and tension. Also helping to rid any knots, aches and pains. (Use of essential oils and massage creams optional). You also receive a face massage to soothe the sinuses and work on the pressure points in the forehead, around the eye sockets and the cheekbones to relax the facial muscles.
Some benefits of Indian massage include:
- Eases stress and tension.
- Relieves migraines and headaches.
- Encourages hair growth.
- Improves circulation.
- Soothe sinuses and facial muscles.
Included in all our treatments, we have a crystal infused heated mat, which adds the benefits of crystal healing to your treatment. Relax and listen to relaxing music, surrounded by crystals and essential oils for a truly relaxing treatment.
Due to essential oils/creams being used for massage, there may be some transfer to your hair, so we advise to bring a bobble to tie hair up.
Session is approx. 45 mins including before & after consultation. If you have any concerns please contact us to discuss these prior to appointment.
- Add on a wash & blow to your treatment for an extra £20.
Aftercare
As with all holistic treatments it is advised to:
- stay hydrated by drinking of plenty of water which also assists your body with the removal of toxins.
- Try to avoid or limit intake of alcohol and caffeine and also large meals.
- Opting for healthier snacks/meals. Allow your body time to rest.
Some people can experience what is called a healing crisis, also phrased as an 'emotional release'. This is down to toxins and deep emotions being released. This is a positive sign the healing is working and clearing your body. You may experience a headache and mild cold/flu like symptoms. You could also experience an upset stomach. This should subside with a couple of days. If in any doubt, you should always seek advice from a professional healthcare professional.
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need to remove any clothing? For us to provide your neck & shoulder massage, it is preferable for the removal of upper clothing. This also prevents transferring of oils/creams to your clothing. A basket is provided for you to place your clothing and personal items, along with blanket to place over you.
Will I be seated or lying down? We provide our Indian head massages with you lying down on a massage table with a hole for your face. This gives us access to the areas we need to massage.
Can the Indian head massage be done on a massage chair? We have both available, and are flexible, if wanting to use the massage chair for your treatment please let know in advance.
How will I recieve the face massage? If lying on the bed, your head will be gently lifted and turned to the side. If receiving treatment on the chair, your head will be gently lifted up.
How often can I have an Indian head massage? Each person is different and there is no fixed time limit for between session's. Some prefer weekly if suffering from headache/ migraines, stress. Others may just have occasional session's.
