Why have a head massage?
Relaxation! With an Indian head massage tension is eased and a sense of peace and well-being is felt. The head, neck and shoulders are important energy centres in the body, if you are feeling stressed, angry or frustrated, this is where tension can accumulate. This tension can manifest itself as a stiff neck, tense shoulders and even eyestrain. With an Indian head massage, any headaches or heaviness in the body are relieved and muscles and other parts of the body relax. This can have a knock on effect to the emotions too, calming the spirit.
The head and hair are very sensitive, making them very receptive to touch. Painkillers that are taken for pain often will “mask” the pain. Massage goes to the source – relaxing the tense muscles that cause the problem.
History
Indian women have practiced head massage in their homes for over 1000 years. Originally, it was developed as a technique to keep their long, thick hair healthy as part of their grooming routine, often using oils according to the season to keep their hair strong and in good condition.
Massage has always played an important part in Indian life, even today, young infants often receive a massage from birth to keep them in good health. The word shampoo originated from the Hindi word “champi”, which means head massage.
