INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE Introduction Indian Head Massage is a safe, simple but very effective therapy which
has been practiced in India for over a thousand years. It was at first
practiced by women who used to massage their heads using vegetable oil
which kept their long hair healthy and strong. This is in fact true
as by massaging the scalp stimulates the blood flow to the follicles,
improving the nutrients needed for healthy hair growth. How it works The head, neck and back are important energy centres within the body.
If you are at work, at home or even out and about any stress, anger
or tension quite often accumulates. The tension builds up and final
materialises as a stiff neck and shoulders, eye strain and sometimes
even hair loss. What Indian Head Massage does is by massaging with a
firm and gentle rhythm, one can unknot and release blockages and relieve
the uncomfortable build up of tension and stress. Indian Head Massage
not only works on a physical level; it also works on an emotional one
too by calming the spirit, bring relaxation and thus relieving stress.
Lifestyles Due to the busy/hectic/stressful lifestyles that we lead, our bodies can suffer ill health as a result. We require good health to maintain balance, equilibrium and natural functioning of our bodily systems. Too much stress disrupts the balance of the body causing energy pathways to become congested, disabling the energy (chi/prana) to travel freely throughout our bodies. Common symptoms of continual and prolonged stress include fatigue, headache, heartburn, indigestion, hair loss, depression and loss of libido. More serious conditions include acidosis, backache. Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Cohn’s disease, pancreatic and kidney disease and can even lead to heart attacks. Here listed are a few physical symptoms that can act as warning signs:
Indian Head Massage treats the body as a whole - mind (psychological), Body (physical) and spirit (spiritual). That is why it is known as ‘Holistic Therapy’. |
