The head is often neglected in massage. Massage usually focuses on the back, the legs arms and shoulders but the head is left out. In Indian Head Massage the head, along with the neck and shoulders, is the principal area of attention. It is believed that through massaging these areas, balance can be achieved in the rest of the body and you will feel like you’ve had a full body workout.

The benefits of Indian Head Massage include:

* Greater focus
* Detoxification of the body
* Stronger hair
* Increased immunity
* Relief from migraines
* Healing of neck stiffness and injury
* Alleviation of stress

It takes about an hour to complete this massage. Aromatherapy oils (like lavender, mint, chamomile or a citrus-based oil) may also be used to aid in treatment depending on the mood that the massager and patient wish to achieve. Citrus oils will give more energy, the others will be more soothing or help promote a meditative state of mind.

Be aware that only a few drops of the aromatherapy oils should be used in a light carrier oil such as almond or coconut. Don’t use too much oil, as it can clog the scalp and skin pores.
