What is Indian head massage?

Indian head massage is an ancient therapeutic treatment that has been practised in India for thousands of years, and is incredibly relaxing. Part of the Hindu health care practice of Ayurveda, Indian head massage focuses on your head, neck and shoulders. Indian head massage is a deep massage, which uses a variety of pressure and techniques that tap into your seven “‘chakras” or paths of energy and encourage healing and balance in your whole body. Indian head massage has become a popular component of combined treatments or rituals, including massage and facials.

History of Indian Head Massage

From the name, you can clearly guess the origin of this massage. Indian head massage is an ancient therapeutic practice done by Indian women to their daughters. It is believed that these techniques are more than 1000 years old. Head massage is performed by combining different oils such as coconut, almond, buttermilk, olive etc. Those oils are usually used to keep the hair in good condition. However, while massage, the optimum pressure is given on the head provides a soothing feel, which makes a tired person relax.

It was then expanded to England in 1973 by an Indian, Narendra Mehta, who started head massage practice in England and spread to other western countries. He also developed the massage system to the neck and shoulder region, which is usually a traditional practice by Indian barbers in this subcontinent.
