A professional Indian head massage should in fact feel like a full-body massage, just as a reflexology massage is performed on the feet, but is felt throughout the entire body. This is because there are several important acupressure points on the head. 

Indian head massage may be dry or oils may be used. The oils not only nourish the hair, but also calm the nervous system, as the roots of one's hair are connected to nerve fibres. 

 

What are the health benefits? 

 

Indian head massage works on areas affected by mental and emotional stress and can bring immediate relief. It also improves circulation in the head, enhances your senses, improves memory and promotes clear thinking. 

People who suffer from headaches, migraines, insomnia, tinnitus, vertigo and depression should consider Indian head massage as a way to bring fast relief. It is also said that the head massage addresses the harmful effect of cell phone radiation. 

Many different medical practitioners and corporate companies are discovering the benefits of this ancient practice. Dentists, for example, are using it to ease their patients' discomfort, while businesses are offering their employees free in-office massages in the quest to increase productivity and reduce absenteeism. 

Air-conditioning and artificial lighting of the office environment often cause headaches, as can sitting slouched in front of the computer all day or the steering wheel, which may result in the formation of stress nodules in the neck and shoulders. Because Indian head massage can be performed anywhere and is just as effective if done dry, it is the ideal way to relieve office-related stress.
