Indian Head Massage

A Holistic Treatment for Relaxation and Wellbeing

Indian Head Massage is an ancient therapeutic practice rooted in Ayurvedic traditions, designed to release tension, improve circulation, and restore balance to the mind and body. This deeply relaxing treatment focuses on the head, neck, shoulders, and face, using a combination of gentle strokes, rhythmic tapping, acupressure, and circular movements to relieve stress and promote overall wellbeing.

What to Expect from an Indian Head Massage

During the treatment, your therapist will use a series of soothing and invigorating techniques to ease tension in the scalp, release tightness in the neck and shoulders, and stimulate key pressure points on the face. The massage can be performed with or without oils, depending on your preference.
Indian Head Massage is ideal for those looking to:

​

• Reduce stress and anxiety – Helps to calm the nervous system and clear the mind.

• Relieve headaches and tension – Eases built-up pressure in the head, neck, and shoulders.

• Improve sleep quality – Encourages deep relaxation and can aid in overcoming insomnia.

• Boost circulation – Enhances blood flow to the scalp, supporting hair and skin health.

Preparing for Your Massage

To make the most of your Indian Head Massage:

 

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing to allow ease of movement.

• Avoid heavy meals or caffeine beforehand to fully relax during your treatment.

• Decide if you prefer an oil-based massage—essential oils can enhance relaxation and nourish the scalp, but the treatment can also be done dry.

Enhancing Your Experience

To maximise the benefits, take deep breaths throughout the session and allow yourself to fully unwind. The massage can be performed in a seated or lying-down position, and soft music or aromatherapy can further enhance relaxation.

After Your Massage

To extend the feeling of calm and wellbeing:

• Drink plenty of water to aid circulation and flush out toxins.

• Allow yourself time to relax rather than rushing back into a busy routine.

• Avoid washing your hair immediately if oils have been used—allow them to nourish your scalp for a few hours.
