What Indian Head Massage Is
Indian Head Massage originates from Ayurvedic traditions, a holistic system that has been practised in India for thousands of years. The treatment focuses on areas where tension is commonly stored — particularly the scalp, temples, neck, and shoulders — helping to release built-up pressure and encourage a sense of ease.
The massage is performed through the hair, with oil applied directly to the scalp to nourish the hair and allow smooth, flowing techniques.
