The History
Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient Indian healing system called Ayurveda. It has been practised in India for thousands of years, originally by women grooming themselves, keeping their hair healthy, thick and in beautiful condition. Massaging the scalp stimulates circulation thus increasing blood supply and nourishment to the hair follicles( roots). To increase relaxation and the aspects of tranquility the face, neck, and upper back are also incorporated into the session.
