Indian Head Massage - History

Indian Head Massage is an ancient healing system developed in India and practised to this day. This Ayurvedic therapy is traditionally performed by Indian women, who use oils to maintain healthy & lustrous hair.

The skills & techniques employed are passed from mother to daughter through the generations, each family developing their own style & adapting techniques to suit individual needs.

Barbers in India integrate head massage into their daily treatments, although their style is more stimulating and vigorous!

 

History (continued)

These traditional techniques have been adapted & expanded to develop 'Indian Head Massage', a westernised therapy based on the original Indian tradition.

Indian Head Massage incorporates the upper back, shoulders, arms, neck, scalp & face. Whilst this form of massage concentrates on the upper body, the effects resonate throughout the whole body, providing a truly holistic treatment.
