I do a ” westernised” version of this treatment focusing not only on just the head, but the shoulder girdle, hands, arms, and neck. Indian head massage has many benefits such as promotion of rest and relaxation, reduction of stress, elevation of mood, prevention of headaches, promotion of healthy hair growth, and furtherance of clearer thinking. I use a variety of techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, percussion, compression/ friction or vibration.
