An Indian Head Massage is an incredibly relaxing treatment, that is often paired with a facial when taking a trip to the spa or to a beauty therapist.

The treatment uses acupressure massage to release stress or tension that has accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints of the head, face, neck, and shoulders. Its aim being to rebalance your body’s energies. It can also help with relieving fatigue, insomnia, headaches, and sinusitis. The experience is deeply calming and relaxing, leaving a feeling of increased energy, concentration, and revitalization.

While an Indian Head Massage might be perceived or known as a spa treatment only for the sake of relaxation it actually has many health benefits both physically and emotionally. Keep reading to discover some added benefits to the Indian Head Massage.

Increases Joint Mobility & Flexibility

Getting an Indian Head Massage can actually help to improve joint mobility and flexibility in the neck and shoulders, as it can free knots of muscular tension and relax connective tissue. This in turn can help to improve blood circulation and lymphatic flow.

It Aids in Relieving Migraines

More often than not, headaches and migraines can actually be caused by tension in the mid back, neck and head. An Indian Head Massage will focus on applying pressure to the mid back, arms, and shoulders to reduce this tension in the muscles. Massaging the neck and head areas encourages circulation of cerebral fluid and reduces headache causing blockages.

Promoting Hair Growth

A massage to the scalp and head helps to increase nourishment and oxygen to the hair follicles which can help to stimulate hair growth. The process of kneading the head during a massage can open up the blood vessels on the scalp and helps in better absorption by the blood vessels. Meaning that each hair follicle gets an equal amount of the nutrients needed to promote the proper growth of each strand. Therefore, the more massage you have the greater the chances of good hair growth.

Stimulates Lymphatic Drainage

The lymphatic system removes waste products from the tissues and back to the heart. Indian Head Massage aids in this process by stimulating circulation which encourages the natural drainage of the lymph. It also helps to bring new nutrients and oxygen to cells.

Relieves Insomnia and Fatigue

An Indian Head Massage promotes relaxation through relieving stress and tension within the body. This in turn promotes a deep sense of well-being and relaxation which directly affects and improves your sleep cycle.

Relieves Symptoms of Anxiety

As mentioned already massaging the head encourages the supply of oxygen to the brain which is one of the best ways of reducing anxiety and of lifting one’s mood.
