INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for thousands of years and is an integral part of family and social life.

The massage involves the selection of essential oils, mixed with a base of almond oil, this is massaged into shoulders, arms, neck, scalp, hair and face together with acupressure points. The treatment involves the gentle pulling of the hair to help relieve muscular tension in the scalp – which can cause headaches, tired eyes and general lethargy.

Massage of the upper back, shoulders, arms, neck and scalp is followed by a relaxing facial massage with focus on the pressure points to elevate toxins and restore balance.

The head neck and shoulders are important energy centres within the body. If you are feeling stressed or under the weather, tension can later show up as a stiff neck, knotted shoulders, eye strain, headaches and sometimes even hair loss.

Indian head massage helps to:

Restore joint movement, helping to stretch and mobilise the tissues of the neck and shoulders, stimulating lymphatic drainage, therefore helping to eliminate toxins from these areas.

Relieve muscular tension and increase nutrition to all tissues, relieving the stress and tension of every day life. To bring about a balanced state of mind.

Sinus congestion.

Increased circulation and blood flow to the hair follicles, increasing the overall condition of the hair and scalp

REIKI

Reiki (pronounced 'ray-key') is the Japanese art of natural healing. Reiki, meaning universal life energy, is the vital life force, which flows through all living things that can be activated for the purpose of healing. Reiki originated in Tibet thousands of years ago. It is a very simple, non-invasive and extremely powerful healing discipline, but is not a faith system.

Energy is channeled through the therapist and goes to the source of the imbalance and not just the manifesting symptoms. Treatment is received fully clothed and involves various hand movements on the body focusing on the Chakras, energy centers within the body. There is no pressure, manipulation or massage. Reiki energy will naturally balance all aspects of our being.
