Indian Head Massage
What is Indian Head Massage?
IHM is massage to the head, neck and shoulders these are important energy centres within the body, this is where most stress accumulates. It helps to release these blockages and relieve the tension that has built up. It also calms, promoting relaxation and relieves stress. Traditionally it came from India and did not include the neck and shoulders.
What happens during a session of Indian Head Massage?
You will be seated comfortably with your clothes on. You can choose to have oils in your hair or not. The treatment starts in the upper back with massage movements, then shoulders, neck and head.
What can Indian Head Massage do for me?
There are both physical and emotional benefits to this treatment. It helps to release stress, tension, worry, depression and despondency and leave you feeling happier and relaxed in mind and body. IHM stimulates blood flow which in turn helps with healthy hair growth. Headaches and eye strain are stress related conditions that improve from IHM because tension is released during treatment. It is also said to help clear a muddled mind, one that has a lot going on in it can be stressful and confusing. By relaxing the body and mind problems and decisions that have been eluding us can be made.
How often do I need to have Indian Head Massage?
It is recommended that you perhaps receive 4/6 sessions (one a week) to start with and then review. It is good to continue to have a treatment once a month to relieve any build up of stress and any of its related problems.
Do I need to be ill to receive Indian Head Massage?
No. IHM is about relaxation and restoring the important energy centres. It would be unlikely that anyone these days does not suffer with stress/tension at some level and so everyone would benefit even if you do not feel you have any symptoms. It is such a relaxing treatment to receive.
