Benefits of Indian Head, Scalp, Neck & Shoulder Massage
How does a Head Massage help?
The head massage improves blood circulation to the scalp, stimulates hair growth by improving hair strength and texture. The neck and shoulder massage aids in lymphatic drainage, releases tensed muscles and stimulates circulation. This disperses toxic wastes from the body and distributes oxygen to the tissues. The face massage calms you and promotes tranquility as it soothes and rebalances the flow of energy in the chakras (energy centers).
The head is the seat of your intelligence, center of your nervous system and represents you. You feel good if your head feels good. A thin layer of muscle covers the skull which tightens when you feel tense. This results in feelings of anxiety and headaches. Head massage relaxes this muscle and improves blood flow, alleviates tension and relaxes your whole body. Tension can accumulate in your energy centers; namely the face, scalp, neck and shoulders. Massage generates rhythmic strokes to soothe and re-balance energy flow – this creates feelings of comfort, ease and peacefulness. Physical benefits are also seen immediately as it relieves mental tiredness, promotes clarity of thought and improves concentration and alertness.
